Yawn
I am tired and need a good night's sleep
The Young Victoria
Britain does the costume drama quite wonderfully, and although The Young Victoria is somewhat tentative and pedestrian in its telling of the Queen's early years, the visual details in this sumptuous movie are beautifully recreated.
I also loved the chemistry between Victoria (a cracking performance by Emily Blunt) and the dashing Albert ( a very, VERY sexy Rupert Friend) but the film I think opted for a Jane Austen-style romantic romp (complete with Princess being trapped in the tower) rather than a more realistic biopic of a tough and potentially manipulated young women.
Generally I gave the film a good 7.5 out of ten
Dance Fever
We all went to Llandudno this evening( I am writing this just after midnight hence the Saturday date) for a "one off" dance exhibition from James and Ola ( from Strictly come dancing)....The evening started in a slightly bizarre and surreal way, as before the bald headed singer and front man massacred "The lady is a tramp" he asked the audience to join him on the dance floor for some ballroom dancing!...of course no one came forward, well apart from a middle aged lady with obvious mental heath issues..and we the audience was left with the spectre of him ( with microphone and uncomfortable expression) and her, gyrating madly and alone alongside him on the dance floor.......weird or what?
When they did get onto the dance floor ,Janet and Chris danced very well indeed and had a great evening, so did Ann and Tim!...I enjoyed watching the moves and steps! in capacity of wallflower
Roger, Mary and Pirrie
Life is weird
Invarably, I will be thinking about Nu and the phone will go, and I know this happens to her when I call....it is a weird best friend type of thing

and we are looking forward to the biggest and best show in the 36 year history of the event!
It is official...I now have a "herd"
The pigs have demolished most of the grass already in their enclosure, but surprisingly their hut remains neat ,clean and amazingly fresh smelling. Nora waddled over to watch what I was doing when I climbed into the shed to give it the once over, then went into a sort of stupor, which seemed incredibly strange! She stood like this (above pic) for an age, her piggy eyes open but vacant. Only after I pushed past her and rattled the feed bin, did she come to her senses and gallop over for a nosh.
The Belingo didn't start this morning, so the trusty AA was called out to diagnose a desperate need for a new battery and a new set of glow bulbs (???) The AA guy, unlike the big girl's blouse that called yesterday, absolutely fell in love with Boris and insisted I take a picture of him and the turkey on his digital camera....
Putting the world to rights
It was a good evening
