Light film we made for Cringleford youth group.

Life has been busy - as well as getting the house sorted we've been getting involved in church (oooh), church study group, been roped into helping with the youth group and the band, we've watched a lot of our box set of Jonathan Creek, I've nearly finished module 10 of the interior design adventure, I've discovered I'm not very good at being an Avon lady, we've met three week old Caleb, I've started lobbying Ben for a baby (let me know if you want to sign my petition), he's started getting annoyed with me, we've had the last week off which has been really cool, getting to know our house and new neighbours. Back to work on Monday, but off on Wednesday for my birthday, hooray! That's about all. A whirlwind adventure indeed. We like Cringleford :)

New house new house new house new house new house!

Newspapers

Made me laugh, from The Student Room:

"The Times is read by the people who run the country. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country. The Morning Star is read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country. The Independent is read by people who don't know who runs the country but are sure they're doing it wrong. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country. The Daily Express is read by the people who think the country ought to be run as it used to be run. The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who still think it is their country. And the Sun's readers don't care who runs the country providing she has big tits." -- from Yes Prime Minister (from the 1980s, it doesn't have quite the same resonance today)

"The Star is read by the people who think the Sun is a bit too upmarket." -- anon

"The Sport is read by the people who think that Elvis is running the country from his secret lunar bunker assisted by a team of topless aliens." -- anon

I wonder...

I'm not meant to use annuity jargon on the phone at work because it confuses customers... I wonder what church would be like to outsiders if jargon was banned?

Diary of a weekend

* Started with a Pizza Hut takeaway (note to self: stop eating Pizza Hut food, it's rank)
* Watched Harry Potter 3 (way better than I remembered)
* Went to work agaaaaain (sigh)
* Went everse shopping (second note to self: stop buying things only to take them back)
* Sleeping (need more of that)
* Finished Harry Potter 6 (didn't cry this time but still cool)
* Started Harry Potter 7 (awesome!)
* Read Module 10 (excited about this one)
* Fruity smoothies (yum)
* Went interior design window shopping (felt like I was in a different city today, we went to so many previously unexplored shops - Perfect Pad, Wesley-Barrel, Mark Elliot)
* Had tea and scones in John Lewis (is it a sign of getting old when you start to love department stores?)
* Cycled to our house which finally has internal walls (woop!)
* Watched House (up to series 2 now, still loving it)
* And Top Gear (actually got bored and read Easy Living during this episode, weird)
* Had ides about fabric and dress and peg bag ideas and thought about how busy my sewing machine is going to be when I've saved up for it.

Yay for weekends. Four working days now until a long weekend in Wales (on Ben's birthday again!) and the rest of the week off.

New blog

Robert is aiming to stay sober for the next six months and update his new blog every day. He's much more than an interesting read!
