I don’t feel that I really have much to say at the moment, hence the recent dirth of blog posts. However, today I thought I would just write an updating sort of post.
Last week, I went to the garden centre, which was lovely. I tried not to get carried away. The aim was to buy [...]

Odds
Well, the concert didn’t go as badly as I feared it might. In fact, most of it went quite well, apart from the bit in I Vow To Thee My Country when we all started singing the second verse when actually we should have been silent and waiting for the piano introduction to finish. It was one [...]

Today at work we were very productive and did the “Meet Your Dæmon” quiz thing on The Golden Compass film website. We do work hard, honestly, but some of us were on break and decided to do the quiz and of course everyone else ‘had’ to join in. Most of Reader Services turned out to have rather [...]
An inadvertent film review

Oh dear, day four and I’ve run out of things to say already. Last night, I was thinking that I could write a bit about my reactions to Four Weddings and a Funeral but now I’m not so sure. I cried all the way through John Hannah’s rendition of Funeral Blues. Despite having seen the film about [...]

The Garden
It was beautiful out there yesterday afternoon. Warm and sunny, but not too hot. The colours of the flowers were vivid, and there was an almost tropical feel about it. The sky was bright blue, with a nice white cloud, and I enjoyed the contrast between cloud, tree and sky. It was quiet. It’s [...]
Dancing and ‘Singin’ In The Rain’
Posted in Film, Music on December 1, 2006 | 5 Comments »
Last night I watched ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ all the way through for the first time. In short, I loved it. It was funny, the singing was great and the dancing was amazing. If you want to see joie de vivre on the screen this is the film for you. I don’t know why I’m saying that [...]
Everything is illuminated

I just watched this film, which is based on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer (before I watched 8 out of 10 Cats) and it was very good. It wasn’t really what I was expecting, although I’m not sure what I was expecting, as is often the case. Although it’s quite a quirky film, the quirkiness didn’t get in [...]
