I've just watching "A Very Glee Christmas", so I think it's time I talk about my Christmas, and how lovely it was.

I'm extending the hiatus to indefinite now, because the laptop I was going to buy on Wednesday had increased in price in two days! I'm hoping it'll decrease next week because now that I've spent all week thinking about it, I really want it and all the other laptops at that price seem rubbish in comparison. It's an Acer Aspire 5742, in case anyone's ( Read more... )

Yesterday in work we celebrated our co-worker's 25 years of long service. He's worked for the university since he was nineteen - imagine that. We had some nibbles, and some wine, and played music from 1985 as that's when he started. We also revisited the endlessly amusing story of how two weeks after Karl started at the university, Dan was born ( Read more... )

Today's subject header seems fitting, considering the furore surrounding the Pope's current visit to the UK. My opinions on the matter are pretty much non-existent - I really don't care. A girl I work with is going to London this weekend to protest though ( Read more... )

 I've been feeling a bit poorly this week - I've got a cold in August which feels very unfair - but I think it's because I over-exerted myself at the weekend.

On Saturday I went walking with my group, from Altrincham to Knutsford.  It's a long route but almost entirely flat.  I don't usually like flat walks because they are dull, but this one was ( Read more... )

Enjoying a weekend of catching up on sleep. Lovely ( Read more... )

Films

A few weeks ago James bought a copy of the remake of the film 3:10 to Yuma which stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale so we watched it together. And it was really, really good. Totally gripping, and with some great acting. Crowe's character is entrancing, and I slightly changed my judgment of him because of that film. Maybe he can act ( Read more... )
