Just been to see Indiana Jones and was quite surprised, I was expecting to be blogging today about how George Lucas had finally killed my inner child (which he did batter to within an inch of its life with star wars *shudder) but I really enjoyed this latest incarnation of Dr Jones. Yes, Harrison Ford is getting old, but it didn’t show. The plot stretches things just a little, but no more than any previous movie. Wouldn’t mind watching it again to be honest.

In other news, we’re about a week away from going up to Washington, really looking forward to getting out of the desert. I just don’t understand why anyone would live in Phoenix by choice, suppose some people just like being trapped indoors / roasted alive on a daily basis.

The letting agency (VS Webb) I rented my old house from are refusing to return the deposit claiming the house was left in an appalling state because we left a couple of bits of furniture. The house wasn’t clean when we moved in, the kitchen fell apart as soon as we looked at it (and we were even told we needed a new one several times!!) and on and on and on. Have to wonder what they expect from a damp vintage Victorian terrace. The deposit is only £350 so it’s not worth the effort fight and get it back, I would spend more than that just getting a few legal letters sent.

Missing everyone back in the UK loads, hope you’re all ok. We’re in a terrible routine here at the moment, tend to sleep most of the day away and get up mid to late afternoon as it starts to cool down. Going to try and stay up and make some phone calls in the morning. Love to everyone :x

Oh, and if you ever wondered why teaspoons vanish from communal kitchens, there has been a study…
