Oscars and travelling
Had some friends round last night for an 'Oscar party'. I made dinner (baked salmon and roasted vegetables and potato wedges), and then there were multitudinous snacks, namely nachos, and homeemade salsa, and crudites, and crisps, and houmous, and dip, and cake, and chocolates, and more cake. We ate to keep awake.
I wasn't particularly suprised by any of the award results (except perhaps that Nick Park didn't win) and the ceremony itself wasn't up to the usual standard, and a little dull. Hey ho. It was still a fun evening. I'd seen a good proportion of the films and while there were some nominated i'd have preferred to win, nothing seemed unfair.
I've now got a week off work, and will be heading down to London tomorrow to see my family. I've already made some arrangements in the evenings (birthday drinks for a friend, meal with extended family, and attendance at the regular pub quiz with hobnobs - it would be nice to see folks there if anyone was pondering going) but if anyone Southwards fancies meeting up during the day i'm quite happy to hop on a train or in the car and wander about and find people. Let me know if you're free and we'll try and sort something.
Next Sunday is my birthday. I have no idea what i'm doing yet, if anything. I'm not particularly bothered by this fact :)
