I’m working, a lot. Getting things arranged for the big day this August. Writing a little but not enough and enjoying:

Books…. have just ploughed through an impressive 5 books since my last blog. The unimpeachable Andrey Kurkov’s The Good Angel Of Death, Buglakov’s The Fatal Eggs, David Morrell’s First Blood – yeah, that one – Breakfast of Champions and a staggering book called We Die Alone that details one man’s survival and escape from the Nazi’s in the most extreme envirnoment imaginable.  I’m currenty marching my way through a book of Romanian prose poetry called Memory Glyphs.

Speaking of Romanian, I watched this this week and haven’t enjoyed a film so much in a long time:

Highly recommended. I haven’t watched all that many English-language films of late. Waltz With Bashire, Nikita and the somewhat daft but nonetheless enjoyable Les Visiteurs and its sequel. Both a lazy weekend afternoon well spent chuckling.
