magictreehouseThis week's been fairly standard to be honest. There was a moment where we thought we might be able to move next Friday but we're back to the 20th instead. I just want it to be done know. There's so much faffing around to be done before we go. We've been cleaning the bathroom today. Thrilling stuff. Last weekend was a little more exciting as we made cookies together! And I found out why James has never really baked before. Haha, actually he's alright as long as you don't leave him to be responsible for measuring out the vanilla essence... Last weekend we also went to Skipton cinema, perhaps for the last time weirdly, to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Now it's very rare that I come out of a cinema and James hasn't liked the film and I did but that's what did happen. I'm well aware of its faults but for some reason it really sucked me in and struck me emotionally. I don't know why! I guess my only big problem with it was that there was too much about him being old in the beginning whereas I found him more interesting as he got younger.
I've finished my Halen Coben novel, 'Gone For Good' now. It was very good. His characters were quite deep and there was something quite gritty about thing. I do like to read crime and thrillers but there will always be something ephemeral about them to me. I don't know what it is. I guess they're my 'easy reads' but I do enoy them when I do read them. I'm now reading 'Quiet, Please - Dispatches From A Public Librarian' by Scott Douglas. Although it's based in an American library there's stuff I can relate too although the author seems hell bent on working against the people he's serving rathet than for them some of the time. It's not all bad though, I hate 'non-progressive', anti-technology librarians too. It's funny, in my class at Uni, although there is a nice mix of ages and gender but there are still some stereotypes floating about. They still exist!
I don't really have much else to say to be honest. It's been a quiet week in all honestly. All Ive been doing at home is watching Psyche and Yes, Minister!
