On Friday night I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it was brilliant, by far the best of all the films so far! It was action packed from start to finish and the time absolutely flew by. I went with a group of 4 adults and 2 teenagers and we all sat there rivetted to the screen! Harry and his crew have really grown up and I mean grown up! There were some interesting new characters Luna "Looney" Lovegood; Dolores Umbridge; and Sirius Black's cousin Bellatrix Lestrange played by Helena Bonham Carter I couldn't make up my mind as to whether she reminded me of Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean or Drusilla, Spike's girlfriend in Buffy the Vampire Slayer!@!

I watched the penultimate episode of Heroes last night on the SciFi Channel, I love that programme, I must be a very sad person as I get really upset when a series comes to an end that I have enjoyed! Maybe that is because there is nothing to watch on mainstream television except for reality TV, who are these viewers I would like to know that love to watch miserable nasty people verbally abusing each other as in Big Brother or Wife Swap. Even the good old soaps are really depressing, everytime I switch them on I have to turn the volume down as the shouting really grates on my nerves, especially East Enders which is particularly dark and seedy.

Bring back the old favourites like Only Fools and Horses and the Darling Buds of May or even the Doctors at Large, do you remember that programme! Whatever happened to Barry Evans?

I can remember on my way to work one morning, reminiscing about our childhood favourite programmes with a colleague (it was a long boring journey!) we remembered The Wooden Tops, Tales of the Riverbank, Captain Pugwash and Mary Mungo and Midge! We then progressed on to Follyfoot Farm, Magpie and Timeslip!

Those were the days!

On Saturday my husband and I drove to down to Canterbury for the day, we had never been there before and were pleasantly surprised. The town was throbbing with tourists and grads in their gowns and caps, there was also not only a french market but an italian market there too! It was preparing for the Tour De France the next day, if we had known that we would have booked a room somewhere and stayed the night, as the atmosphere would have been fantastic!

We both fell in love with the town and will definitely be going back there again, especially as I found a really nice clothes shop called Angels, it had loads of really nice feminine dresses and even had ball gowns! I picked up 2 dresses for only £46 a bargain!!

Just waiting for the sunshine to come back so that I can wear them!

Talking of bargains I have loaded more crystal jewellery onto my site on ebay I am exhausted! They are starting to sell really well now have made 2 trips to the post office today, the best sellers today were the bracelets crystal eggs and spheres.

Can you believe its still raining, my garden is starting to resemble a jungle! Our local suburban foxes are having a great time in my flower beds, they have a fetish for shoes, especially my husband's which they are always stealing!

We found this out when our eldest child was born, during her first summer I had left the garden door open and a brave fox decided to come in and have a look around! I walked into the room and found the fox prowling around the baby's cot, I got such a shock I screamed and the fox turned around and ran out (picking up one of my sandals on its way!) back into the garden and over the fence!

I decided to knock on my neighbours doors and see whether it had turned up in one of their gardens, it turned out that the fox had a stash of shoes behind someone's garden shed!

As the weather is keeping me indoors I have started to sell more of my crystals now, and have had another delivery of really beautiful necklaces and bracelets which I cannot wait to load onto ebay and start selling! As I have completed Reiki II I can empower them with Reiki energy so the buyers will receive lots of healing energy as well.
