All set

I am ashamed to say I succumbed to some retail therapy today. Decided that a new frock might make review week feel more do-able - and besides, the ones I could have worn are out of action due to the no-exercise-lots-of-cake lifestyle that has been somewhat characteristic these last few weeks. My lovely colleague texted from India (where she is doing some preparatory work with partners in advance of their contribution) to tell me to remember there were 5 days of review which might mean 5 dresses...... Rounded off the day with a glass of beer (New Year's resolution very successful) and the much awaited viewing of Richard Linklater's 'Boyhood' - what an absolutely fabulous film,. If you haven't seen it yet, get it to the top of your list. it could just as well have been called Motherhood, or Fatherhood, or Sisterhood. Filmed over 12 years with the same actors. What a record to have of life, irrespective of the fiction being portrayed.
