In the Land of the Living ...

Well, it's been a while since I updated this BLog, but I am back in the Land of the Living. Since Samhain we've been settling into our new life here at the Mill, enjoying Yule, and even having a big birthday bash for our joint birthdays - well, B and I have a birthday one day apart (and a few years) so January is always a good reason for a party. It was a curious mix of friends, former colleagues, present colleagues, and passing acqaintances. Hopefully some new friends-to-be in the mix as well. Apparently people with larger social networks have a higher life expectancy (I don't know if that's psychology or the fact you're more likely to know a good doctor or know someone who does :-)

On the social side, as we're gravitating more to live here for good now, I joined the Keswick Film Club, and have already been to see 'Hero' and am looking forward to watching about 6-7 films next weekend at the Annual Film Festival. The Keswick cinema - Alhambra - is a gem!

Our digital camera is letting in more light than it should, so needs replacing (it's done good service, and I'll probably replace it with another Canon Ixus, but a model up). Hece, no photographs recently. But I'll see if there are any recent interesting one's to hand.

Current Guilty Secret: I'm enjoying watching "Desperate Housewives"

Last Walk done: Today, the quarry/mines at Borrowdale.

Book being read: The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency.
