    Birth

    Ruth goes to labour at last.

    Not before a trip to the cinema to see a James Bond movie.

    I think I would have been irritated if Ada had come to my local cinema. There is the rigmarole of finding the right seats.

    Then Ada would be the type who would never stop yapping once she sat down as well as passing the sweets about.

    Thankfully for the irate man in cinema. They all had to rush Ruth off to the hospital once she got labour pains.

    A sweet ending but Leslie is nowhere to be seen at first as he headed to the pub and had just a bit too much to drink.
