Tired

Another good film club evening yesterday -- this time with Hong Kong movies. An excellent thriller, "Infernal Affairs", demanding a lot of attention but repaying it thoroughly: wonderful filming, a good plot, well-paced throughout, and with so much symmetry between the "good guys" and "bad guys" that right to the end one could never be sure how the story would play out. To be recommended. Then, to follow, a Jackie Chan movie, about which the opposites of most of the above apply, but fun to watch! More fun people there that I hadn't met before (but hope to see more of), but a rather late night by the time I got home and sorted a few things out.

Meanwhile, my bike arrived! Hurrah! Unfortunately, today has been both full and rather nasty outside, so I haven't got to try it out yet (aka "find out whether I remember how to ride it"...)

Also in the day, one of my regular (if now less frequent, fortunately) visits to my GP, and some good news: I'm now finally being prescribed the medication I need on the NHS, which is very pleasant. It's quite a relief, after a number of issues that meant I wasn't quite sure if it was going to happen, with existing supplies dwindling.

Today's been far too full of work, except for the brief excitement of Liz being violently ill. This meant that I got to go and collect children from school and sit in on violin lessons (both of which I enjoyed); unfortunately, it also means that reaching a sensible stopping point for work has run on rather late into the evening... sigh. I still haven't really mastered getting the balance between work, family and social life right, I think. Or at least the balance between those three and sleeping...

Robin and I should have been at film club, but we were playing hookey and went to see Troy at the Cinema instead.

Was it good? I've heard it's quite fun to watch, but not seen it -- most of my cinema-going tends to be with small children in tow, and Troy's well beyond their age range...

I wish I'd come to filmclub. I love Hong Kong films of both these types. Ah well...

Good news about the prescriptions :)

Get well wishes to Liz.

Thank you -- she's been much better today, although I've been trying to make sure she takes it easy.
