vickyduckyWell we had quite a good time in Devon. Westward Ho! has a nice sandy beach which we actually managed to get to 3 times during the week. The rest of the time it rained heavily so we saw a lot of indoor attractions, the best was The Big Sheep, especially the sheep racing. The down side is that there were 121 emails in my inbox when I got back to work. In fairness most of them were (unwanted) spiritual moments from the chaplain or nonsense about desks for sale and rotas that I'm not part of.
I'm watching the women's gymnastics at the moment and I've been enjoying the Olympics. There was a Brazilian gymnast doing a floor routine a little while ago and the height she was jumping was extraordinary - twice her own height at least. I'm slightly ashamed to say that I've also really enjoyed the spat between Tom Daley and his diving partner. Of course you can't believe everything you read in the papers but the Times yesterday had a picture of them waiting between dives and the look on Tom Daley's face is murderous. The BBC diplomatically only seems to have shown him saying how much he enjoyed it and what fun it had been.
Went to see Hancock at the pictures last night. It's a while since I saw the trailer on the telly but I'm fairly sure it was trailed as a comedy. You know, it wasn't really a comedy but then it wasn't really anything else either. It was if they couldn't really decide what kind of film to make and had cobbled about six different scripts together. It was a comedy, then it was redemption film, then it was a heart warming drama, then it was a superhero action movie, then it was a love story. Ok, five scripts. I've definitely seen worse films, I wasn't bored and the time didn't drag but it was pretty pants and Will Smith's 'drunken bum' face got tiring quite quickly.
