I'd love to blog in excess this evening as K is out and E is fast asleep in the sofa (never fear, theres milk defrosting in the fridge) but I feel somewhat tired.....had a good workout earlier, lots of slapping on the finger board, nice. Pleasent walk in Malmö earlier, saw a great crested grebe in the canal, looking thoughtful. We're contemplating the whole moving thing at the minute, currently waying up the delights of buying a farm with land (sounds very grand but its real cheap to buy a lot here, but the downside is having fascists as neighbours), moving into a larger flat in town or a house in the 'burbs. All very exciting, the flat is getting valued on monday so we'll see......must dash, hunger.


music: Ned Sherrin, twat, but hes going to be interviewing Patrick Stuart.
weather: -5, blue skies.
last movie: Dawn of the Dead, bloody excellent and quite scary. Worth viewing just for the start, where we see a housing estate going to hell (some great aerial shots) before we get back to familiar ground of the mall. So, DotD gets a worthy 7 out of 10 - it would get more but theres just too much of 'why the fuck would you do that?' in the script (even for someone like me, who suspends belief on a regular basis). Excellent soundtrack by the way, and if you watch the directors cut dvd you get more gore and character development and some quite amusing, though a little amateur, short movies - I liked the one about Andy the gunshop owner, cool.
Speaking of movies, I notice, that Alone in the Dark' is coming out and Aliens of the Deep'-looks good.
site: So in a great celebration of geekness and general fanboy activity, ladies and gentlemen the greatest Britons 2004 included Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the WWW) and Phillip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials. BBC NEWS UK Web inventor is 'Greatest Briton'
