Sigh… I am happy to finally report that my back pain has settled back down to it’s usual dull roar so I feel I can do crazy crazy stuff again – like turning my head or picking up the kettle! Will wonders never cease! I really did enjoy going to the Cirque du Soleil on Sunday but honestly if having a night out can cause three days of grief it’s just not worth it 🙁
I’ve still been taking it relatively easy today hanging out with the increasingly restless Small Child. The school holidays, I fear, are destined to be a time of boredom for him being an only child and all. We’ve read some more of his Geronimo Stilton books, played a little Wii, watched some Spiderman II (he got bored of it thankfully and skivved off to do something else).
So now after a full day amusing the Small Child he is now safely ensconced in bed for the evening and I’m amusing myself with a heatpack and one of my favourite movies – An Ideal Husband.
I think I should have very much enjoyed living in an Oscar Wilde play… speaking excessively witty nonsense to extremely wealthy and equally witty genteel wastrels all day iong. Though knowing my luck I’d end up as the conniving Mrs Cheevely or the uptight and demanding Aunt Augusta from The Importance of Being Ernest – another fantastic Oscar Wilde play that was made into another very amusing film. Such great casting in both these films… Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Minnie Driver, Frances O’Connor, Judi Dench, Julieanne Moore, Reece Withersppon… they’re all absolutely fabulous. So much so, that I shall have to watch the later in the morning I dare say. 🙂
