It's been an absolute stunner of a day. Sun everywhere, no clouds in the sky. Jane and I went to see Transformers at 1730, so left a sunny outside and spent nearly 3hrs (3 hours??!?!) sat in a darkened room, only to leave and find it raining slightly and cloudy ( Read more... )

Fun, up to a point. When the F-whatever-fighter jet starts bombing the freeway it just turned ridiculous. And WHY did they have to have "that" line in it? *sighs* Otherwsie good escapist fun ( Read more... )

The Cottage with Dawn and David, good.
The weekend with Jane, good.
Now that Jane's gone? Not so good. Feel for some reason that this weekend has gone by so quickly. Saturday we went to see `Hard Candy' at the local Cineworld. I'm still not at all sure I enjoyed it. I was riveted, sucked in, shocked, made to wince over and over, but I can't ( Read more... )

1. Knackered.
   
2. James Blunt at the Manchester Apollo brilliant. Real crowd pleasing set.
   
3. Jason Mraz (support act) awesome. Have bought CD and am currently enjoying much.
   
4. Tonight: Sheffield Walkabout for dinner at 7, cinema to see Munich (don't do it - long and tedious are the only two words that spring to mind), Doncaster Walkabout at midnight (with ( Read more... )

Tomorrow for me involves nothing. Nothing at all. Oh, I need to deposit a cheque. Whoohoo. I've no jobs, I've checked all my regular last minute sites but I can't find anything for tomorrow! I'm most disappointed. I'll have to spend the day doing 'normal' stuff ( Read more... )

Why is going to the cinema considered a sociable activity. What is sociable about spending 2 hours sat in a dark room with someone, pointedly not talking ( Read more... )

I bought an early present for Jane (and I). Decided to give it to her this weekend instead of Christmas as, well... it's not exactly parent-safe ;)

I was browing Amazon, trying to find Preaching to the Perverted after I saw misstressmedusa talking about it the other day, and found it from http://www.caiman.com ( Read more... )

They somehow screwed up the details and put down the wrong sort code and account number. It's not just one digit either, it was a couple. Grr.

So my card will be reactivated on Thursday - glad I didn't want to go this week!

I got a letter today informing me that my unlimited card has been suspended because they're so incompetent, they can't set up a direct debit properly. I wondered why it didn't work at the cinema on Saturday - just lucky that the guy behind the counter didn't have a clue either ( Read more... )

Jane came up Friday, we watched TV and spodded and relaxed. Nibbled ( Read more... )
