I saw Jarhead today at the cinema with Maddie. Wow! The cinematography is fantastic and I loved that it wasn’t the usual war style flic. Very impressed. Stuff is happening, but not particularly exciting stuff. We’re counting our beans this week because I seem to have made a slight error on this months budget and we’ve not only cleared our budget, but we’ve also emptied the kitty…

I’m limping along in my French class. Soooooo much homework, and sooooo difficult! I can barely remember English grammar and now I’m expected to know French grammar? I’m not used to having to work so hard. It can only be a good thing I guess. Same thing happening with yoga. It’s been a little over 2 years since I did any regular yoga, and I started back last week… I’m hobbling about at the moment, but am determined to keep it up and loosen these limbs. Maybe next week I’ll be able to stand up straight again!

On the travel front, I’ve been handing out links, recommendations and advice over the last couple of days to friends travelling to Morocco and to the US and I’m starting to get itchy feet. Morocco was so cool I’d go back anytime, and New York is still one of my favourite places. NY is a craving, and until you satisfy it, it won’t ever just go away…. roll on Pakistan – give me something to counter it!
