The weekend

We were in Leicester this weekend to have an un-birthday celebration for Katy. The drive down on friday was crap because of tons of roadworks and traffic and rain but we made it in one piece while enjoying some Pink Floyd along the way. We chilled out on saturday (well, they did – I traipsed into town to get a haircut) before Rita, Anna and Rhona came for tea and sweets. Anna is very quiet, especially when you put her next to her girlfriend, a loud and exhuberant scotslady who has a big thing for Canada. There was serious lobbying for us to get married there so they'd have a reason to go there :)

Katy, her parents, Rita and I went to see Goblet of Fire. I still maintain that the new Dumbledore is crap is ruins the movies for me. The look of the movies themselves are actually more edgy than the first two, but Richard Harris is a head above the new bloke. He sucks. Dumbledore is not supposed to be a manic, headless-chicken sort of person. Nor is he supposed to be a stoner giving out meaning-of-the-universe advice. Poo, I say, pooo!

Sunday was spent doing tech support on the computer we bought for Katy's parents for xmas. A bit of meatball surgery and I had all the files transferred from the old HD to the new one and then spent the next two hours or so patching and updating all the security holes in XP. The usual.

This week should pass quickly. I was working home today and I'll be working home again on wednesday when the car is supposed to be delivered. No real other plans, except that we're going to be doing a cleaning blitz next weekend because the weekend after that, we're on HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woo-a-hoo.
