Feeling especially optimistic, my brother offers a review of the film The Lake House, starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves which we saw last night.

It's a crap story with no plot, crap actors, featuring a crap song. Crap film!

Probably best you make up your own mind. But I enjoyed it.

Am at a bit of a loss to know where to start with this one:

A friend who shall remain nicknameless recalls a young lesbian couple she's met with on a few occasions.
And relays a conversation in which one describes a rather detailed account of their sex life.
Part of which involves one dry humping the other.
Apparantly the dry humper has a much greater sex drive than her partner.
This information tickled me greatly, especially when a little later in the evening the very same couple were within our vicinity.
I was a little disappointed however, as my nicknameless friend refused to introduce us.

Firstly, last night I was lucky enough to go to a Kt Tunstall concert in Manchester.
A great show.
Being only a few rows from the front held a great vantage point, but it was also very warm.
Towards the end of the show N felt a bit peculiar and so we listened to one or two songs from the relative cool comfort of the stairwell, accompanied by medics armed with their defib.

Today my feet and legs feel as though they belong to an 103 year old.
But it was so worth it.

A Nice Dog.

I didn't want it to be you says the man in the bank as he approached the next free window.
The woman serving me and I exchange glances.
I listen to see if the man at the next window is joking and is really the brother/lover/husband/friend of the woman he's just insulted.
She remains tightlipped and refers to him as Sir...

Road Kill.

Now, most days I do quite a bit of driving.
It's usual to find the remains of flying insects which have collided with the windscreen.
Today however, things went up to the next level.
At school, picking J up.
Excuse me, I think you've hit a robin says another pupil.
To my gut churning horror, there is a robin hanging out of the grill at the front of the car.
Not unlike the fake back legs of dogs and cats that people sometimes fasten to their boot, as a joke.
But this is the real thing.

It made me feel quite ill.

Flattery Will Get You Far...

What a lovely comment.

This really made me laugh.

Salsa!

My first salsa class in years.
Mastered ( or maybe mistressed is more appropriate ) a few of the basic steps.
Had a thoroughly nice time watching the so much more proficient dancers strutting their funky stuff.
Will definitely be going again.
Reckon it would be a great place to meet potential boyfriends.
But as i'm not looking, will just have to go for the dancing.
Although in keeping with the theme, may drag out a floaty skirt, but will never dance in ridiculously high heels.

Sunset And Sad News.

J took this lovely picture of the sun setting yesterday evening.

Had a text from a young lad from uni. saying that his brother had been killed in a road accident last night.
This is obviously extremely sad news for all involved, and struck me as being especially unfair as he previously shared that him Mum had passed away when he was a young boy.

Recently we've been out enjoying the sunshine.
Had a really lovely day at Woburn Safari park with A and R .
As well as seeing at emerging dragonfly at a local wildlife festival.
I was actually quite fastcinated with meeting the people who dedicate a good portion of their spare time to collecting information about insects.
Although it was interesting, I don't see this becoming a new hobby for me.

Days Out

Some pics taken during recent days. Yay for the sunshine.

Tango At The Manor

The Tango Ice Blast is a slush puppy for the more discerning.

Especially the cherry flavour.
Sampled today whilst at Drayon Manor Park.

Seriously, you must try it.
