It is a nice sunny morning (well, just starting to cloud over) and I am off on a bus (the X5) to Milton Keynes to visit Naomi WINOLJ. It can be a nice relaxing day, as we don't have to talk about tax! Hoorah! There may be walking involved, and almost definitely a nice lunch.

I am not going with [livejournal.com profile] rhubarbfool to see this film as I'm afraid it looks insanely tedious. Check out Roger Ebert's review - apparently it grows on you. "How is it that the same movie can seem tedious on first viewing and absorbing on the second? Why doesn't it grow even more tedious?"

Tuesday was less efficient than I had hoped. I caught up with LJ and e-mail and felt very stressed. LJ does instill an artificial sense of urgency which I should probably try to avoid. Reply! Reply! Refresh! Reply!

Did two loads of laundry and no ironing
Took a small bag of things to charity shop
Played with gerbils
Did some cross-stitch
Watched Legally Blonde 2 which was highly feeble.

See yous later!

When using the X5 it can be quite good to get a £5.99 Explorer ticket (buy on any bus) which will get you to Milton Keynes and back and any other Stagecoach bus saving you a bit of your walk to and from the bus station. I think then return to Milton Keynes probably costs £5.99 anyway.
The film got good reviews in lots of other places. I'll tell you tomorrow whether it was worthwhile.
 
Thanks for the info about the bus ticket - too late for Wednesday but I'll bear it in mind in the future.

As it was, I bought my return for £5.99 but then got a lift home from Naomi. Good job too, as lj user whoshallremainnameless ran out of petrol near Duxford late that night and N sprang into action for a daring rescue with a petrol can!

Glad you found the film untedious, sorry I'm a bit of a snooty pig sometimes ;@)
