Sunday afternoon, and we've just been out to see Spiderman which has just been reclassified to allow children under 12 to see it. An excellent film, but the cinema was packed with fidgeting kids, rustling sweet wrappers and talking during the quiet bits. Very annoying!

The weather has turned from being able to sit with the patio doors open at the weekend to a hail storm today.

Hello blog, my old friend - I've come to talk to you again ...

Saturday afternoon, and a five mile walk from Reeth along the banks of the Swale and back via the village of Grinton.

Off to Swaledale for a weekend break! One of my dad's friends is seriously wealthy and has bought a 300 year old farmhouse in North Yorkshire as a holiday home, and my dad has done some of the restoration work on it so he gets to stay there for free once or twice a year.

A day off today, hurrah! Walk the dog, fling open the patio doors (am I the only person in the world who sees the word 'patio' and has an irresistible urge to pronounce it to rhyme with 'ratio'?), fire up the x-box and settle down for a day on Knights of the Old Republic.

Just what exactly does Bush think he is doing? Even after Iraq has decided to allow U.N. weapons inspectors to return - political ploy or not - Bush's actions are not necessary. What he is doing is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure in Iraq.

OK, so the last post was rather long, I apologize. I'm slowly getting the hang of having all of this free space to fill.

Happy Halloween!! Maybe, maybe not.
