On Monday my sister, grandad and I decided to attend the Thorney Parish Council meeting, at which the company behind Gores farm wind farm proposal was giving a brief presentation. There had been a significant number of posters around Thorney encouraging people to attend the meeting to voice their displeasure.

After the meeting I struggled to think ( Read more... )

For Mother's Day we decided to stay in and cook mum a meal, thinking that if she was feeling upset about nan then she wouldn't feel uncomfortable in public. I also say 'we'; Emily was rather reluctant and Harry was almost no help at all.

'We' decided that the rule was that whatever was offered to eat, mum could have too. This is because mum can't ( Read more... )

So on Valentine's Day Elder and I set off with the good intentions of watching the highly romantic film of Django Unchained. However, arriving late at the cinema put a stopper on that plan, so instead we opted for Warm Bodies; the film labelled as a zomromcom. And it was surprisingly good and actually funny.

ZOM.
The zombies were brilliant. The ( Read more... )

Towards the end of last year first buses extended the age range of their child fares to include 16-19 year olds; thus named young person fare. Although I myself obviously do not qualify for such a fare, it has brought the occasional joyous moment when it is assumed I fall within the age bracket. Thank-you First buses for giving me the occasional ( Read more... )

I was rather worried when I first heard that the whole film would be sung, however I barely noticed the lack of normal dialogue in the end. However, the use of constant singing did mean that some points were rather laboured with not much being said over a long period of time.

I was also pleasantly surprised at Hugh Jackman's voice (also loving ( Read more... )

I had heard a mixture of good and bad reviews about this film. Some said that it was one of those films that the critics love yet didn't have much to it to satisfy the general public. The major argument I heard against the film was that it avoided forming a distinct opinion on Maggie T due to her still being alive. However, if that is your major ( Read more... )

So I started off with good intentions. I put on the running gear and donned my fancy running watch (courtesy of Mum and Dad for Christmas) and went off for a run.

Elder came with me as the intention is that we will take part in the Thorney 10k. We decided to go for 5k... You know, start small and build up.

When we finished we were really pleased ( Read more... )

Was pretty good given that it was tinged with a little sadness. But I think that everyone had as good a time as possible. I was fortunate to receive many amazing things so will be writing a great many thankyou letters for them.

I found my birthday harder to deal with without nan for some reason. I opted for a quiet night in with family and Elder ( Read more... )

Present: Ian, Elder, Laura, Kat, Miles, Alice, Anna, Hannah, Eleanor, and Jodie.

So we went to the Rose and Crown in Thorney for a meal before heading into town to go to Fever. It was a really good night involving Hannah dressed as a Christmas tree, good food, lots of booze and cheesy music. Can't get much better than that, except by saying that ( Read more... )
