(no subject)
14 days left at work! I am now doubly keen to get out of here, as a rat appears to have died under the floorboards over the weekend, and the stench resulting is vile. I have a neutrodol pot sat by my keyboard which is overcoming the worst of it, but it's still pretty grim.
Had a fairly quiet w/e - watched the first half of Hot Tub Time Machine before giving up (I would probably have stuck it out, but Ali wasn't enjoying it), and Clash of the Titans (better than I was expecting, although it would have be significantly improved by removing the couple of bits when the scriptwriter couldn't resist going all Hollywood on us. On going to take Medusa's head, did we really need a warning - "Don't look that bitch in the eye"?). Also continued with True Blood series 3, which has finally picked up after a pretty disappointing opening few episodes.
Other than that, we went to the park with Jess & Ellie, played in the garden, slept and generally took it easy. I've just found out that Love Film do games rental as well as films; I signed up to their £15 PAYG deal. Seems like a good way of checking out games I'm not bothered enough to take a financial punt on and actualy purchase - this way they cost me £2.50 to play through. So, I spent the w/e working through Mini Ninjas, which is rather better than my expectations were of it.
Ellie has become significantly more vocal over the past few days; great, except she's also taken to singing to herself during the night. She was at it at 1am when I came to bed last night, and was still doing it half an hour later or so; she started up again about 5.30 and went on until 7am. I have no idea why she's awake - she's not crying, just chatting when she should be asleep. Whatever the reason is, it's not condusive to sleep. Hopefully it'll just be a phase she's going through.
