That Scottish Play

I watched the remake of Macbeth on telly last night, it is a really sucky and depressing story. I liked that the 3 witches were bin men though, that was the only good bit. As I don't know the original play, I can only surmise that basically everyone dies. All the main characters, one by one, starting with Macbeth.

Nick gave up half way through and went to bed to read Goblet of Fire. He has to finish it before he sees the film you see. And as we're in Southampton this weekend we can go see it at a PROPER cinema! Woo!

I stayed up late reading in bed this most amazing book. It's a true story of a young Jewish girl in the Second World War. She is a German Jew and is smuggled to Belgium when her parents are taken away by the Nazis to concentration camp. So there she is, about 6 years old and no one has explained to her what's going on. She's lumbered with this really evil woman who bullies her and steals all her stuff. All she knows is that her parents have been taken away to the 'East'. So she sets out with a compass and tries to find them by herself. She then wanders for several years throughout Europe, going to several different countries and becoming almost totally wild, surviving by stealing food where she can and eating things like worms, tree bark and grass. Also she is taken in by a pack of wolves. The books called 'Surviving with Wolves' and its written by the woman, Mishka. I'd definitely recommend it.

I cooked a nice sweet chilli noodle chicken thing last night and then finished off a load of popcorn. Honestly this blog is totally turning into a food diary. I guess I am a bit of a foodie. I will try to lose a few pounds before my mates wedding in Feb 06 so actually it helps to list what I've eaten so I can look back in shame at my gluttony and try to be healthier. The dress has to fit! I can't be blubbing out over the top of it with big fat arms.
