Ahh good old Blighty. There’s three reasons I’m grinning today. One of them, always, is Linda. Second is the fact that when I drove to the supermarket today to grab my weeks grocery shop I saw that petrol prices have… FALLEN!!! That’s right! I’d be a little more thrilled if I hadn’t filled up last night at the slightly higher price but this could well be a sign that someone has started to use their head.

The third reason is.. to be very British.. the weather. You can always count on this country to produce some gorgeous looking days once you hit that Summer Solstice. There may well be a fair nip in the air but it cannot detract from the heat of the big yellow thing in the sky and the sheer attraction of the countryside on a day like today. Have a look:

Admitedly not great photos but the best I could do given the moving car and the fact that everytime I stopped cyclists rode past as the road to my father’s house was part of cycle race course today (miles 4 – 5 to be precise).

I watched Brick the other night. I’m so far behind in watching movies that I’m probably the last person to have seen it but I will still make my point that it was extremely good. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was superb in the lead and not once did I think of him as Tommy from 3rd Rock From The Sun – if anything his performance, if not his mannerisms,  made me think of Heath Ledger. The whole film was wonderfully casted and paced and kept my interest throughout – a rare thing these days especially when set in the world of American high-schoolers.

What’s with the facebook poke?? How annoying would that be in real life? If every time somebody wanted your attention they just poked you?!
