Missed it...
Happy 21st Birthday for yesterday, melly_issa!!!

Had a friend call me Friday night wanting to go to a movie. Wasn't sure my back would be up to a theatre seat that isnt' always comfy so she came for a visit instead. Hopefully this will be the last weekend of enforced rest for my back. I guess i could go out, nothing really stopping me but it's just so much bother when i can't always get comfortable and most places i would want to go, i'd be walking and standing and that's still not comfy either.

I don't know what this is, but at the end of Corrie on Sunday these days when there's a bit of time left, they have this short feature that is sort of like a documentary with claymation animals being interviewed. Today's is talking to animals in a pet shop about what it's like being in a pet shop or what they think of other animals as pets. It is a British production because they all have various UK accents and the prices are pounds sterling on the cages. dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards. There's a hound dog with a Geordie accent, Stick insects making fun of a dog in a cage, *snicker*, and you can see the end of a big microphone sticking in the side of the shot. A little rodent of course doesn't like snakes because they eat small animals right? lol Anyone know what this is? They actually showed credits though and it's created by Nick Park. Should have known. He's the Wallace and Grommit bloke. It's very giggleish :) I've seen it a few weeks now. Edit hmmm a bit of judicious googling and i think it's clips from Creature Comforts and i *so* need this! *Christmas gift hint!* I saw Nick Park's Robbie the Reindeer last winter and that was wild too!

Artwork du jour

Two new paintings done over the last couple of weeks. A boathouse by a still lake and a view of a cottage. I think i like the boathouse one better. I actually turned it upside down to paint the reflection! Digital pics don't get the colours exactly right but close enough. Not really keen on the shrubbery in front of the cottage. it's too thick. yeah yeah i know, i shouldn't be picking them apart. I think most people do that with their own creations whether on paper, canvas, crafts, whatever.

Made maple curry chicken pasta for supper. Yummmmy! Now have a sink full of dishes that are going to have to wait until tomorrow night because my back is tired of standing.

Nice hot shower with lots of Lush Karma body cream on after. Always a pick-me-up.

The Superstore has a PC diet caffeine free cola that is also low sodium. Their non-low sodium etc isn't too bad so i actually bought a case of cans. It's shite! Now i have 10 more tins of it to drink. Meh!

Bridget Jones is on telly. :) Love it! Too bad the sequel sucked donkey's. ;)

Having trouble with LJ reply boxes. You know when you're reading the post and comments and you want to add your own? You click on the reply link under the one you want and a text box opens up right away. Well recently in my mozilla browser, when i do that, the browser jumps back up to the top of the page though the box is still there when i scroll down. Very annoying. Doesn't do it in IE and it's only the last few days it's done it in Mozilla. Have sent LJ admin an incident but if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful. Browser setting? (haven't changed it myself), admin console command?
