Landlord is putting the rent up. Joy. I can't complain too much, as it is still well below the market rate for this area. But still. Bah.

Went to see I Am Legend with my brother the other evening. Getting there was a bit of an adventure, what with half the city centre having been knocked down for this new development. Seriously. They've demolished an area the size of five football pitches. The cinema we went to is surrounded on three out of four sides by demolition and building sites. I dread to think what that's done to their trade. So anyway, getting there was a bit interesting, with the regular route having been demolished, but we managed. ( Film stuff - I Am Legend and Sweeney Todd )

Cold weather always plays hell with my hands - dry skin and scratchy kitten not a good combination - so I bought myself a new handcream in Lush. Poppy thought it smelled delicious and wanted to eat my hands. Marvellous. What it is about Lush anyway? I love the shop - the gorgeous smells and products - but find it very difficult to shop there as I always get assailed by about half a dozen assistants the moment I pass through the door, and they are so busy being aggressively helpful that it's impossible to actually browse and see if there's anything I fancy. Also, when I finally manage to break free of the helpfulness long enough to find what I was looking for, there's no one actually serving at the till, because they are all too busy 'greeting' customers.

Decided to pick up my Angel season five rewatch last night, only to realise it had stalled because I'd reached Why We Fight, which I've never actually seen and don't really fancy. Skipped it and went onto A Hole In The World instead, but quickly remembered why it is that I really don't like season five. So instead of going onto another ep, I watched a repeat of New Tricks instead. I always forget how much I enjoy that show. I love Brian and Esther. Maybe I should add it to my amazon rental list and catch a few of the earliest episodes?

Enough of the randomness.

Okay, so this is a picspam I put together for the scene_again community, but I'm cross-posting to my own journal for my own reference. It's just a series of pictures taken on my walk to work one morning, taken with the mobile phone, which I am still getting used to so the quality isn't the best, and on rather a murky day!

( Picspam - walk through Cardiff )

And now, just because they are so cute, some pics of Poppy and Ruby. They are growing up fast now - Poppy is seven months old and Ruby five months old. And both are full of mischief! ( Kitten and Puppy picspam )

So clearly I'm on a bit of a posting roll - sorry to spam up your f-lists, folks! Last one for the day, I promise. This one is for galathea_snb, and anyone else who might be interested.
