Didn't get home till 11:00 last night but was greeted with sloe gin and candlelight so it was all good! Slept until 10:15 this morning and am just checking mail etc then off to Whitby! The weather looks like it'll be glorious too - very cold but clear and sunny. Hurrah! Expect many pictures...

Have a good weekend all!

Finally got round to seeing Beowulf last night and really enjoyed it! Ray Winstone is such a hero! =P Pretty sure he doesn't really look like that when he gets his kit off, though ( Read more... )

It was useful, even if it did fill my head and leave me totally spaced all last night! Mind you, that may have been something to do ( Read more... )

I fell down the stairs this morning. Or rather I bumped down them on my bum. Ouch! =(

I am such a clumsy fool! I hope this isn't an omen for the day coz I'm really busy and need to be on top of my game at the moment! I think I need more tea...

Who's coming to Beeston on Saturday for the Chinese New Year celebrations? Judging from the running order there's pretty cool stuff happening between 1:30 & 3:00 (dragon dances, kung fu demonstrations, stalls selling chinese 'gifts' and food) then a bit of a dull bit with local school children doing plays n'stuff, during which time we'll retire to ( Read more... )

Cheerier today, although very tired after working last night. Still, I'm at Brewhouse Yard today so I get to laze around for a while, amble in late and go to Yo Sushi for lunch! Hurrah! =)

I get a night off tonight too...
