Just saw Hot Fuzz. Excellent!

So was Shaun of the Dead. I really should track down Spaced.

Friday evening: The Royal British Legion (Ovenden Branch) Spring show.

Sat: Morning spent posting leaflets through people's doors.
Lunchtime, walk the dog
Afternoon spent posting leaflets through people's doors
Evening, visit my friend whose husband (also my friend) passed away three nights ago. Then settled down to a glass or three of wine and Doctor Who on TV.

Sun: Morning, had a lie in *smiles* how delightful. Then walked the dog. Did an online exercise for a history module.
Afternoon, spent shoving leaflets through people's doors.

What kind of leaflets? is that your job or something? Just curious.

Thursday- Hung out with some friends and some girls. Got written up.

Friday- Nice day out so I was outside for about four hours and then I celebrated the holiday with some friends, ended up getting much higher than I wanted and ended up passing out on my bed.

Saturday- Played with my band for most of the day and then watched "Godfather 2" and "The Royal Tanabouts" (sp) with my friends and decided our band name is going to be Pagoda.

Sunday- Studied a lot. Just found out that Pagoda is taken.

Saturday: Spent the whole day running from one activity to another. What a busy day.

Sunday: Sharpened the mower blade, mowed the lawn, broke down a bunch of empty boxes in the basement, worried about what to do with the DAMN RACCOON I had just discovered was living in our chimney. AAARGH!

Simple...cook it.

I wrote what I did in detail - then realised how terribly, terribly sad it was. And boring. I couldn't bear to be both so I deleted it.

A precis:
Friday Night watched the spooky but wonderful Derren Brown on 4 and was pleased to spot two NLP techniques in the show. Very good ventriloquist act in his case! If anyone is interested enough I think you can download it for free here, but I haven't tried myself.

Saturday I worked, then came home for more TV, beers and pizza.
Watched Any Dream Will Do, where they are trying to find a Joseph for a new production of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat. Had an intense moment where my llibido woke up and stretched when they were all singing together at the end. Whoooweeeeee! Seamus and Lee in case anyone is wondering. I don't go for men because of their looks, but I think I need to explain this more carefully to my groin.

Spent the laziest Sunday ever (excepting all the other Sundays this year) reading in bed with my boys (cats), eating leftover pizza and drinking leftover beer! Worked vaguely on something I'm writing for the Cellar, then decided it wasn't going to work and wasn't inspired by any other ideas.

Day Out With Thomas The Tank Engine.

Sundae · 04-27-2007, 03:17 PM

This weekend (starting after work Saturday) I'm going to London to have a trial meeting of my cats with my friend's cat, so see if they get on. Yes - I'm nervous.

Hopefully I'll also introduce him to the joys of the Cellar and take some pictures I can post.

I'm so excited! A weekend where I actually do something worth reporting

Watch this space.

We spent this past weekend as follows:

Friday night - our weekly 'date night'. We went out to dinner, then puttering through the local Home Depot to pick up some potting soil and flowers. Found a nail in the tire of my car, so we fixed that (did NOT want to buy a new Lexus tire, they are dang expensive!) and hoped that it would fix the puncture - thankfully, it did! Curled up to watch the Who's Line is it Anyway that our TiVo recorded throughout the week for us - and ended up falling asleep sometime.

Saturday, we took a day trip to the NC Zoo - along with half of the population of central NC (it was VERY busy!) We puttered around Saturday evening - because well, frankly, we were too tired and sore to do much else. (Our feet were killing us!)

Sunday - we did a lot of house and garden work. I planted a few herbs in window boxes, some annuals in a box on our drive, and we cleaned off our back porch and got it ready for spring and summer use. We spread some egg gravel in our ornamental memorial garden, and planted some carnations that we'd found and fell in love with. We played with the pictures that we took at the Zoo on Saturday - decided which ones we wanted to post on our websites (not up yet), and had a relaxing al fresco dinner at our local favorite pizza place. Home to relax, hang out, and just be 'us'.

Monday, he went back to work. (Sigh - this 3 month and counting vacation is getting TOOOO long)

Political leaflets. Some of the leaflets I deliver are the standard party political leaflets which all parties send out during the month running up to the local elections. Others are third party leaflets which i help with as part of my activities with anti-fascist groups like Searchlight, or Hope Not Hate. Some are newsletters from the local MP.
