This blog I think is going to be a round up of things I've done since the start of October!
I started the month off by seeing one of THE WORST films I have ever sat through. Grown Ups. No doubt many people have observed that it should be called Groan Ups simply because the humour and plot are so obvious it makes you want to hurl abuse at the screen. We did not however do this as we are British of course and do so would be uncouth. It is the 2nd worst film I have ever seen at the cinema, the worst being another Adam Sandler movie, Unfunny People. Dreadful and please I urge you avoid both films unless you also wish to hate Adam Sandler as much as I do!
My weekend got much better though and I saw the lovely Mumford & Sons at the Apollo on Saturday night! Fan-Bloody-Tastic! Loved their album since the first time I'd heard it (and maybe listened to it a bit toooo much...) and they were wonderful live. For the encore, they stripped back all the mics and amps and just played without any technology - it was a brave move that took the audience some time to acclimatise to the change in volume but the result was breathtaking! I sooo hope they are at Glastonbury (but not in the stupid John Peel Tent!)
On Monday night I saw Dr. Faustaus at the Royal Exchange Theatre. Now that was a strange experience. It was very well produced, and well acted but just a bit strange! It was incredibly dramatic, and I did get a bit anxious that I might jump out of my seat at times, but it was also a bit too long for my tastes and that was felt especially during the final soliquay which seemed to go on for hours! Still, I really enjoyed myself and will definitely be going there again, such an unusual theatre!
Last week I also started my training for a voluntary job post I'm taking up volunteering for Action for Sustainable Living as an Assistant Project Leader! I don't know what project I'll be working on yet but it's already opened my eyes to 'greener' ways of living. I'll be reporting back when I know more I guess! The website is: http://www.afsl.org.uk/ and is full of environmental events around Manchester and Trafford that I'm hopefully going to check out too!
The weekend just gone was partly spent in front of the TV - 4 and half hours worth of reality TV on Saturday night nearly killed me off, and in Ikea where I finally made an exec decision on some bedroom furniture that is currently lying in parts on our bedroom floor. (We're having to work up to actually putting it together...)
And that I think is that for this week!
PS - I'm going to add a different blog that includes a couple of new recipes I tried this week that I highly recommend!
