Le retour de le Bok

Bonjour tout le monde!

After a particularly slow, frustrating afternoon yesterday, I actually contemplated going out for a run (and I can’t remember the last time that happened of an evening!), whilst dinner was cooking in the oven.

Unfortunately I got sidetracked, but the irrepressible Bok must have picked up the vibes, as about an [...]

Aroma Sensation

Before I start, I’d just like to mention the beautiful aroma of honeysuckle and pinks in the garden at the moment.  In the evenings, when the air is still, it is simply magical to walk out there, as is sitting in the tea-house in the mornings.

I’ve had another one of those manic weekends. [...]

Weekend off

I chose not to run this weekend, but I did start to prepare the ground for my new shed so I don’t feel as if I have been slacking. [...]

Macbeth

This is a true contemporary masterpiece and if you like Shakespeare (and can get hold of tickets between now and the 1st December close) is a totally-must-see production. [...]

The Kingdom

Overall, it’s a very thought-provoking film and left us slightly dazed! Five stars! [...]

Michael Clayton

It’s a brilliantly executed, tense thriller with a cracking plot, for those people that like to have to think about what’s really going on. [...]

The Bourne Ultimatum

It is an awesome flick and has a raw power than sweeps you into the action and carries you from start to finish. [...]
