Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you have a great happy, safe and prosperous 2007.

Sean and I had a quiet New Years at my place. Mum and Dad had a few of their friends over, but it was really pretty quiet with them all sitting around talking. We watched a few DVDs during the day including Carnivale' which I got for Christmas - very good, but very confusing TV series which was on the ABC a couple of years ago. You don't really get to understand the story til you have watched both seasons 1 & 2.

Another movie we watched was Keeping Mum starign Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott Thomas and Maggie Smith. It was hilerious. The story is of the family of a vicor (played by Rowan Atkinson) who live in this small little community. Pretty much the entrie family is unhappy, the Vicor has no inspiration, his daughter has a new boyfriend every week, and his wife if getting a bit on the side. Then comes along a new housekeeper Grace, played by Maggie Smith, who they don't know has escapped from prison where she is serving a life sentence for murdering her Husband and his mistress many years earlier. Well many character and associates of the characters end up falling victim to Grace, as the murders bring the family closer togeather. If you can get your hands on it, it is well worth a watch.

I'm back at work now. It has been really busy at work over the last 2 weeks, and we barely have a chance to take a breath, but it is keeping us on out toes.

Anyway, lots to do, better go... Andrew
