There's Something In My Eye

As always, the Snot Monster (TM) has impeccable timing. I have the biggest, baddest cold in the West and I was supposed to start work today. I couldn't really go in all hellos and germy germs - so here I am in my sickbed at home. New start date is this Wednesday so I have one more day to shake it off!

Can't say I have much news, I've spent the past few days being ill. I did pop to Portobello Road Saturday morning to meet a friend from Ireland. My favourite cafe, The Grove, which did the best sandwiches in London and proper steaming mugs of tea has closed down. This is not a good start to 2007!

Sick people watch DVD's from their deathbed. And I am no exception. So in the absence of any news, here's 3 short and sweet soundbytes from my housemates to sum up the films we've seen this week.

Snakes on A Plane - "I nearly wet myself laughing." Somehow I suspect not quite the reaction David R. Ellis was looking for. If your favourite colour is green and you like dead snakes, then this is the film for you.

Cars - "More fun than cutting up a White Van Man." And that IS fun... A lovely, lovely film and I really want to go tractor tipping with Mater!

Rent - "Tearjerking and uplifting." This quote was from my sister's boyfriend. But then, he did cry at Wicked. Definitely worth a watch. Bring tissues.

And he just cried right now when he read this blog.

Hope you started work on Wednesday! Like the new template by the way.

Thank you! And yes I did. New post to follow shortly. Perhaps tomorrow when I've sobered up after one too many glasses of wine...!
