Mark your diaries - the Pixies are coming to Melbourne, March 20th!!!! Tickets on presale today at 12:00 via Ticketmaster, general release this Friday.

Ponyo

We've been meaning to go for weeks, finally today we managed it.

Ella's been to the movies many times, Leila (at 2 1/2) only once before. On that occasion (Madagascar II) she didn't sit still much at all, preferring to run along the aisles. I was hesitant this morning, wondering how successful it would be with the four of us going, but figured what the heck.

I have to say, I don't think the girls have ever been so engrossed in a movie - Leila did not move at all. Ponyo is wonderful - I loved it, the animation is great, the story wonderful - nothing not to like. If you haven't seen it - do - I'm not sure it will run much longer. Remember though, if you don't want to have to read subtitles all the way through, be sure to go to an English dubbed session.

Not the sweats

The girls and I have been under the weather, me for about the last week, them for longer. Sore throat, coldy, fatigued and the sweats.

Yesterday we were oustide most of the day, it was so lovely, but at one point I thought "I'm really not well, I'm seriously sweating here". On the news last night it said it was 29C in Melbourne, in September - gorgeous day, but what's going on, we're still in Spring here!

Friday Night Movie

Do you know that I've never actually had a fish and chip shop hamburger? Never. Is that unusual, I think it may be. This is how they wrap them though and somehow it makes them all the more delicious.
