My word, it's been yonks since I wrote anything here. No real reason, other than I've not found much time to sit in front of the Mac recently.

As ever a large finger of blame can be pointed in the direction of football. A particularly pointless weekend has just passed, watched City fail to win at home again, before losing 2-0 on Sunday morning when playing for Bryan Munich.

Also been catching up with a few old films, including "In the mood for love" (fantastic), "Spirited Away" (very good) and "Betty Fisher and other stories" (very clever).

Our mums have gone away on holiday with each other! How will it turn out? We are most intrigued.
