I saw Pirates 3 on Friday, obviously, and thought it was excellent. Much better than the second one, which had that irrelevant and trying-too-hard-to-be-funny bit on the cannibal island. This one had plenty of pirating action, battles, and excellent outfits, and Elizabeth gets way cooler. In fact, even Will looks cool at the end. It was also much improved by the presence of Geoffrey Rush, who I think was sorely missed in the second one.

Parents and one of my brothers visited over the weekend, which was fun. We went into the city, A cooked an excellent meal on Sat night, then on Sunday we went to the castle, where they looked around the museum part and I went round the gallery, which had an exhibition of work by Vanessa Bell, Gwen John and Laura Knight, which I enjoyed. Then we went for a meal at the Waffle House, which was gorgeous, as always. They do the best chocolate mousse ever. Mmm.

Monday was a bank holiday, so of course it rained, and apart from going to the gym, the entire day was spent lying about dozing and watching all the episodes of things we'd taped over the weekend. Thankfully "Dr. Who" was much improved from the trash that was last week's episode.

Only two weeks until Trinidad now...really must buy some suitable clothes.
