The double hour update and other news

As ever, a Buffy and an Angel review. bateleur and I finally got around to watching them on Saturday.

( Buffy - Sleeper, Angel - Apocalypse, Nowish )

As planned, we went to the cinema and watched Solaris on Thursday night. bateleur enjoyed it, but I was rather less entertained by it. Embarrassingly enough, I am not entirely sure why I didn't enjoy it much. Possibly I just wasn't in the mood for it (certainly I was hoping for something lighter). Oh, and we both spotted that the female lead was also in The Truman Show.

Friday was the day of shopping and lovely food. ( Clothes and Thai )

Yesterday marked the end of an excellent week, when we drove back up to Cambridge to collect our much-indulged offspring. Whereupon bateleur's mother made my day by offering to have them for a week every other month. I suspect it will be slightly less frequent than that (although their next Cambridge visit will be May time), but the idea of 5-6 weeks "holiday" for me really appeals. Plus the stories of Ryan's dislike of swimming (he hates the lack of control) and Beatrice's ability to eat anything ("she finished her breadstick, then grabbed Ryan's and ate it as well") are very entertaining. As of today, the twins seem to be well and happy and have been fairly quiet this morning (once Ryan had got his five-thirty start out of his system). They want more batteries for the snail, though.

Ah well, just sixty-seven days left to go... ;-)
