Life Update

It's been exactly a month since the last post - this wasn't done deliberately, I just have the time and something to write.

Again Harrison is asleep. I use the couple of hours that he sleeps in the afternoon to do everything I want to do without him getting in the way - hence the blog. Annoyingly he fell asleep in the car on the way home from swimming which always throws his nap time out completely. I can't hear him anymore though which must be a good sign. The swimming is brilliant now we have moved up into Ducklings 2. It is more grown up - some of which scares him a bit, like standing on the side of the pool and jumping in while I catch him, and lying on his back which he hates. Oh well practice makes perfect as they say.

No grandparents yet though. Hopefully, maybe, maybe not next week - if all the extremely well paid and extremely crap professional people who deal with house sales get their arses into gear and actually do something....Solicitors and estate agents make me so mad. I could do their job better than them standing on my head with my eyes shut :O) I'm not actually sure I can stand on my head but I'll give it a go!

Andy decided to join 'Love Film' on a months free trial so we can see how it works. I have to say it works brilliantly, once you set it all up. It has revolutionised our evenings (seeing as we can't leave the house to go to the cinema and our DVD collection is so uninspiring). We have seen 2 films in the last 10 days that we may not have paid to go to the cinema to see or bought them on DVD but I am really glad we put them on our list to rent. Firstly we saw 'The Black Dahlia' which I had wanted to see ever since it first came out. So it arrived in the post and we actually sat down and watched it rather than playing on the Xbox or surfing the net. I'm glad I've seen it because now I know I don't want to see it again - much too confusing, but didn't interest me enough to try and watch it again to work out what the hell is going on. So we posted it back and within 3 days we had our next film. Now this was definitely a film I wouldn't have gone to the cinema to see but I have seen a lot about it on the internet. 'Volver' was excellent and I think it is now one of my top films. I absolutely loved it. I'm not a big fan of subtitled foreign films but I was so engrossed in this one. I am a changed person. So yes 'Love Film' is a brilliant way of seeing all the films you've missed at the cinema or read about and didn't want to waste the money. For £10.00 a month normally we could potentially watch 4 or 5 movies, so I think we will be continuing after the free trial ends.

Now I've been a bit 'Alec Baldwin' about the whole 'Love Film' thing, I'd better get back to doing something much more useful like putting some undercoat on the skirting board in our bedroom. We are almost finished with the painting, the bed is up, the carpet is in, all we need to do is put the new curtains up and go to Ikea to get the rest of the furniture. It looks fab, so I'd better continue with the decorating.
