Another year's gone by and at around 1pm today I was 24 years old. Blimey, this past year has gone by so quickly. All in all I think it's been a good one.

Anyway, my lovely Jamesy came over yesterday and gave me a wonderful present, a picture he painted himself...

We went out for a nice Indian in Bedford and then off to Milton Keynes to see Brokeback Mountain. Having queued for 20 minutes and being about three people away from being served, the 9pm showing became full. And as they were only showing it at 6pm and 9pm and Bedford aren't showing it at all we came home again and I downloaded it. Naughty me. Will still try and see it in the cinema on Wednesday.

So slightly pissed off that appartently it's not interesting enough to the general public to be shown everywhere and more often. Despite hearing rave reviews about it from all directions. Perhaps we're just not quite as tolerant of homosexuality yet as I thought we were.

Also rather pissed off with Milton Keynes, I always hate going there, the A421 is so slow! And the place has no character and no soul. Parking for Xscape was a nightmare, it was full of real chavvy people (a bit snobbish but I've had a few glasses of wine now so I don't care). So I think we'll try for Stevenage on Wednesday.

Anyway, back to the positives. This is oddly turning into a diary entry which is unusual for me! Took James to work at around 7.30, Dad came over at 10.00 and gave me a lovely card and the DVD I wanted along with the DVD of Coast which I'm really pleased with. And thanks to Dad's help, Sophie now has here very own little back door that she's currently rather reluctant to use!

Just after lunchtime and I pick up Richard from the station and we do a little bit of work. Chat a bit, watch some Family Guy and American Dad, then off to the Black Horse in Woburn for another fantastic meal. My present from Richard! Though I'm buying him dinner tomorrow in return so not sure how that works!

And now, a bottle of wine, a bit of blogging and chatting to some nice people.
