pyoor_excuseScreaming, screaming, argh.
Yet another post disappears into the disasterous vortex of 'oh, I clicked a button, no, no don't change that window! no! No! I was oh, shit, back, go back, please, please, no, no, that's not the Livejournal update I'd written most of. No. No. Argh. Okay, maybe it's gone back too far.... No, no, nooooooooooooooooo"
Although, to be fair, I'm feeling a bit less hellish, this might be due to the temperature in the house dropping from insane to merely 'far too fucking hot'. Although, when the pollen count goes up in the evening I'm expecting screaming agony. Seeing as my eyes haven't stopped watering all day (except possibly while I was asleep, that being about the only action I could see which might stop the sandpapering of my eyeballs). Having checked my eyeballs are now sort of milkshake red as opposed to the vivid cherry red they were when I got to university.
Yes, so, my alergy medicine clearly didn't manage to impact on my hayfever today. Bizzare, 'cos yesterday it worked a treat - a bit of a sniffle, but nothing too severe.
So. What did I get up to?
I went to the Bristol Motor and Classic Car Show, and spent a happy morning wandering around the Downs looking at a range of rather nice classics, and some less exciting classics, and some very odd cars - including one which appears to have a sort of DAF/Variomatic gearbox affair (Axiam) - no arial atoms though. Yeah, so we did that.
Then we discovered that at least 2 of us (me included in this) were at least a little bit sunburned. Ooops. Forgot the sunlotion. Never again though, I'm still flipping sore today.
Yeah, so then we went to the Severn Bridge, the old one, and located the old and rather unloved viewpoint - there's some really nice views across the Severn from there, and sort of relaxed and wandered about a bit, discovered you can walk over the top of the Toll Booths which is a bit bizzare.
But yeah, then we pottered down to Cleavdon pier, which is rather nice, and had a cream tea (civilised enough?) before heading to the far less civilised Weston Super Mare, where we had fish and chips, a wander down the pier and avoided being involved in a huge brawl (of course, the disadvantage of not letting our football hooligans go abroad is they all bloody stay here!).
Anyway, yeah, so it was a phenomincally civilised weekend, what with the BBQ on Saturday,and finally getting to see Harry Potter III (Rise of the Dark Knight), or whatever it's called :-)
Actually, Harry Potter was fab, it's a very different film to the first one, much more an adult film. Was very enjoyable :-)
Still need to buy the books, now that Ais has taken hers....

Date: 2004-06-15 12:45 pm (UTC)Musically, John Williams has really made good all the trite, bland, predictable scoring he did in the first two. The score matched the action far better. Perhaps it was the better film which inspired better music?
It'll be interesting to see where things go from here. Maintaining such a high standard is going to prove tough over the subsequent films.
