just another morning here

I’ve been hunting for a new blog template for a while; I’m bored of the pink. Don’t really want to go back to one I’ve had before, but I can’t really find another one that I really like. This will have to do for now. Boring, but I got very confused when trying to install an exciting trendy one and I couldn’t make it work. Anyway. Time to cook dinner now I think. Vegetable curry, if anyone’s interested.

Edited to add: ok, I didn’t really like that one very much so it’s back to this blue after all. For now.

… but then we decided we were too tired and couldn’t be bothered. One spontaneous trip out in an evening per week is obviously enough! We’d planned to head down to Party on the Quay (the opening night of the Exeter Festival) but then once we’d all got home from work/school, had a violin lesson and been to kids’ club, we realised we were all exhausted, and would rather veg out in front of a film.

We chose Inkheart, which the children are very much enjoying; I’m sitting in front of it doing my own thing as per usual, and Steve is asleep. Also as per usual. Oh well, at least we’re all on the same sofa. I’m blog fiddling; have upgraded WordPress to 2.8 … I do like the way you can search the plugin and theme directories from your own blog now, that’s quite nice

It may not stay, but for now the blog’s gone pink I woke up at stupid o’clock today and got bored. Gotta have something to make people actually visit the blog … and had been fancying a change for a while, anyway.
The only thing that’s annoying me a bit is that the strapline is overlapping with the image at the top … may have to do something about that!

Josiah got the Wii Play Control version of DK Jungle Beat today, as a reward for his 100 days of practice. Currently sitting here wetting myself laughing at him playing it, it seems to have ported well onto the controllers and you now really ‘hit’ the enemies. Obviously quite intuitive as he’s picked it up quickly – not quite the same as the novelty of using the bongos, but it’s still a fab little game. Has Ernest Portico still got my GC version? I can’t find it. It’s one of the only games I have ever completed (in Feb ’05, so my blog tells me (and there’s a grand example of a long comments thread!)) so I’m feeling all nostalgic and enjoying watching it over again, anyway.

Otherwise, just an average week, but with added baby news from one of my good friends, so we got to have a cuddle tonight, which made my day

Having a very late (for us) curry for dinner, then going to watch a film, if we can stay awake. Weekend is busy but I might get round to blogging again if I’m lucky.
p.s. I’m doing an experiment; only using blog not BK for a while, just to see what happens in this micro-blogging era …
