Oh wot a luvverly weekend

We have internet! But my laptop is broken :(

Lovely weekend. Three friends from York arrived, with guitar and leccy fiddle. On Saturday the boyz went to conquer Norwich while W and I drove to my cottage to meet Mark for the purpose of digging a French Drain (along the back wall of the old part of the cottage). When we got there Mark had already dug it! He's such an energetically competent bloke :)

Sunday was warm and sunny and perfect for a late bbq, with visitors and 3/4 of the Mayes crew. First I took W and her trusty camera round some of the interesting parts of the city, and then out to Colney Church (flint, with round tower); we dashed back when Mark arrived. Later L came over, and thus met another group of friends. And Richard III.

Joeboy turned up in the evening after the northern contingent had left, and we watched a very interesting set of films: Richard III followed by Syriana - sandwiched around the BBC Jane Eyre. Curious mix.

Excellent acting in Syriana, though the camerawork was rather uneven. And the actor who played Nasir was the doctor in Deep Space Nine. The Arabic sounded so good because he was born in Sudan!
