Picture this (oh, you can't)

Well peeps, it is sadly true that there will be a distinct lack of pictures on the blog for a while as my camera has gone AWOL. I have searched everywhere I can think of for it and contacted all the places that it's likely to have been waylaid, but it is not to be found. The annoying thing is I distinctly remember deciding not to take it with me on Friday and yet Friday is when it disappeared as I had it Friday morning and when I came to look for it on Saturday it had gone. Vamoosed. This set the mood for the rest of my weekend unfortunately. My tramp had been cancelled due to the weather and my main means of entertaining myself was then to take photos of said nasty weather but obviously this was denied to me. So on Saturday I just sat inside in the horrible weather thinking Nicole was coming back to watch movies (not realising until a lot later she was away for the night) and then on Sunday I went for a walk round the waterfront and there was lots to snap but no instrument to do it with. It's obviously a sign of a bad weekend when you're glad that Monday is here!
In other news the filming of the Hobbit has been put back again as the director has quit, so my dream of being a hairy footed and contented extra seems to be fading fast.
It's not all doom and gloom though as I have now definitely got a weekend away this coming weekend. I'm off up to Taranaki again, this time with my colleague Sue. We're going to do a spot of tramping round the mountain and enjoy the tranquility (and in my case the distinct lack of planes). We're to set off on Friday after work and return on Monday as it's a bank holiday (Queen's birthday weekend).
I'm off to see Prince of Persia at Reading tonight as part of my Movie Tuesday quest. I can't say I'm that in the mood for hanging around until half 6 but there's not much point in going home either. I'll just have to find somewhere to stay out of the rain.
And I think that's me up to date. Sorry there's nothing exciting to report. I keep looking for fun things to blog about but nothing as yet. Tarra for the noo.
