Still struggling. I continue to be so stiff (both muscles and joints) I can only move very slowly. Fewer brain cells firing than usual. Most frustrating.

Today may be Friday, but I have to work tomorrow. At least I get free eggs for the chicken wrangling portion of the day.

One good thing happened with being stuck in the house for 6 days. I had planned to pay someone to fix up my computer room this year, but don't know where I thought the money was coming from. Having now spent considerable time on my comfy chair in that room, I figured out how to remove most of the carpet with a minimum of moving furniture (from my desk, it looks like an impossible job). I just have to be prepared to tackle it in very small pieces and refuse to get overwhelmed again. I can probably paint the walls in stages as well.

Considering how incapacitated I am, I'm surprisingly cheerful. I may not be able to get out much, but I have a big stack of easy-reading library books downstairs, and the book I'm reading for book club at work (I've said it before, my job has weird perks) The Jane Austen Book Club, is very enjoyable too. I was expecting to thoroughly hate it.

If I'm feeling better, I'm contemplating The Skeleton Key at the cinema on cheap night (Tuesday). The films I really want to see right now are Madagascar and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But on half price night in the school holidays? I think not. So Southern Gothic creepy house stuff wins.

girfan and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today and it wasn't too bad from the howling-child point of view, though I think the guy in the row behind was trying to pick girfan up.

He was!?

Yuck!

I thought he seemed very taken with you - that's why I didn't go to the loo until he'd already gone! :)

Are you going to the barbeque/tat shooting party tomorrow?

Chicken wrangling? Your job seems to have changed a bit from what I remember... :)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is definitely worth seeing, mainly for Johnny Depp doing a very messed-up Wonka.

I think I posted about the chicken over the last few weeks. Basically, the co-ordinator's pet chicken is living at the shelter for the time being. She is quite a handful. And thinks she's a person. But Judi gives me her eggs for putting up with her.

Today, I was evil and shut her in the back yard.
