The Boxer Rebellion
Came up to Northampton with Richard and Matt last night to see The Boxer Rebellion play at the Roadmender. It’s a tiny venue and the band were really good. We decided to go for a few beers afterwards it was ok but the whole town was full of very scantily clad teenage girls and we Continue reading

Poorly Oscar
On Thursday k spotted what she thought was a large ulcer in Oscars mouth. She took him to the vets to have it checked out. Turned out it was actually quite a large tumour. So poor old Oscar had to stay in and have it removed. Fortunately, the vet was able to remove it all Continue reading

Elbow
Went to see elbow at the Junction in Cambridge on Wednesday night. It was a fantastic gig, as usual Guy Garvey was on top form, chatting to the crowd and getting us all singing along. His ability to connect with the crowd always makes an Elbow gig a special occasion I received the new album this Continue reading

True Grit
No doubt you know the story- Mattie Ross hires Rooster Cogburn to hunt down her fathers murderer believing him to have “true grit”. Its been years since I’ve seen the original so I was able to watch it without comparing it. Its all quite enjoyable but I must admit I wasn’t exactly on the edge Continue reading

Lovetub
Emma is at Nannas tonight and K and I had a “lovetub” for a treat. We were distraught when we realised that you need to put it in the microwave, we haven’t got one so K had to run up the road to Mel’s to nuke it. It was absolutely delicious! Continue reading

Black Swan
The story of Nina Sayer’s (Natalie Portman) descent into psychosis as the pressures of playing the Black Swan emotionally tears her apart. Natalie Portman portrays perfectly the unravelling of Nina as she strives to give the perfect performance of the white swan and the dark, sensual black swan. I really recommend this film. Its hard Continue reading

Skyline
Strange lights descend onto LA drawing people outside like moths to a flame. Hypnotised by the lights they are sucked up by brain harvesting aliens. The Critics hated this film but I really enjoyed it. A lot like Cloverfield, Its cheesy, pretty poor acting but the aliens are cool and it all cracks along at Continue reading
