Oh, I also ought to mention as Daisy was praising the artistic qualities of the pantomime mastadge, I showed you last week, that the only thing I provided for that mastadge was the fur and my presence as a back end. The artistic skill all came from Helen. I personally have all the artistic talent of a cluster of colourblind hedgehogs... in a bag :-) But thank you Daisy for your praise, I'm glad you like the mastadge.

Oh, I know what else I did that I haven't mentioned. I saw Seven Samurai at The Phoenix on Monday. It was very good. I really enjoyed it, very long though, which meant getting very uncomfortable in those cramped little cinema seats, they're much smaller than the ones at The Odeon where I went that same evening to see X2 which was good, I think it was better than the first X-Men film, but it wasn't as good as Seven Samurai. I borrowed some DVDs off a friend too, so I saw Taxi which I quite enjoyed and Amelie which I thought was fantastic! It was really well thought out and entertaining. It's definitely got onto my list of recommends. Having watched 3 subtitled films over the weekend though I got to the point that it was really odd to hear English on screen. Particularly in the middle of Amelie when a programme is shown onscreen, so you suddenly hear English and see French subtitles. For a second I couldn't understand because I was looking for the English subtitles.

I haven't blogged all week. Sorry. Well, I have now and aren't you glad? It's certainly worth me blogging with all the exciting stuff that I have to share. So what have I done? I weeded between the slabs, I've strimmed the lawn (it's too small for a lawnmower, it just requires a garden strimmer, which is less reliable than Arnold Rimmer) and I've finally had my induction training at work (a one day course that you have to go on when you start working in the libraries, I've been there over 6 months and therefore finished my induction period now, but stuffs been busy so they haven't managed to run a course until now).
