Movies, theatre, what more is there to life? Rollerblading!
Friday night Jo and I went out to see future shorts, a great programme where short film directors from around the world swap their films so people in other countries can see their stuff. There was a launch beforehand at a cool club in Notting Hill that I will definitely be returning to, nice and smooth tunes and a funky atmosphere. The shorts were great, though I did break my promise to jo of getting her home early - we didn't leave the cinema until 2!
Saturday I finished off the furniture building and a bit of tidying and washing and so on. Then in the evening I rushed off to a full blown RSC production of King Lear (here, here!) which started 30 minutes before I thought it did, so it's lucky I got there early!
On Sunday I went climbing on my little lonesome as Tam was in Manchester, and decided to subscribe to the local wall, which means I will be climbing a lot because now I have to get my monies worth! I grabbed some shopping before I got an invitation to go Rollerblading.
This was the first time I have ever been rollerblading, and when people said 'oh, you'll find it easy if you can ice skate even a bit' I simply didn't believe them. It's true though, while I took a while to get into it, after 20 or so minutes I was quite capable of going in a straight line, faster than pedestrians, without falling over! In fact I didn't fall over at all (knock on wood).
We went with a girl called Kathy and Jo and her took off ahead, but that was OK because I was just working things out for myself. We are thinking of doing it regularly, which is fine by me because my fear of broken limbs has been replaced with a less rational desire to get a whole lot better and maybe get some cardio workout happening. As I said to Jo, as long as you don't fall over, it's a very low impact sport!
After that I was supposed to go to another future shorts thing called RocknRoll Cinema, but I chickened out and went to dinner where Jo and I chatted about various things such as our families - I ended up SMS mine to tell them I love them (hi guys!) because I am very slack when it comes to phoning (but pretty good at emailling).
We then went and saw the fabulous film "Closer" which topped off a great weekend with a great movie.
