Feeling kind of shiftless. The cubs are out at a party with their dad...

Their costumes: Spy vs Spy.
Spy vs Spy

First week back at school and on Friday night the cubs had taken themselves off to bed - and were asleep - by 10.30. Puir, wee tired things. <g>
So far so good, they're enjoying being year 6; they've got Prep buddies to look out for! They remember their own buddies very fondly, which helps.

Oh goody. We've actually got two wasp nests, one in the front, one in the back. Still waiting for the cubs' father to deal with them. :) (He'd better do it soon, he's off overseas for a fortnight in about a week.)

DVDs. Seen lots of DVDs recently.
Constantine was a bit of a romp. <g> And there's just enough of the Catholic schoolgirl left in me that parts of the movie made me twitch. Keanu isn't the world's best actor but he chooses roles which suit. I got the sense they were just skimming the top here, that there was a lot more could've been said, but as it's based on a comic book that's not surprising.
Finally got 'round to seeing Xmen III. That's another one where I felt I was only watching half the story, for the same reason. Good, though, enjoyed it - not enough of the winged-pretty, however.
Mrs Henderson Presents. Not as good as I thought it'd be but infinitely better than, oh, 98% of the main-stream US product available to rent. Judy Dench was wonderful. :)
(Um, there were more but I've lost interest. Heh.)

Woohoo, up to chapter 3 of the new fic. Once again I have no idea how long this is going to be. I'll just write it and see where it goes.
