I got pooed on by a parrot this morning. My 3 year old sister got very excited when she spotted the dirty sods in the tree plotting their revenge against mankind. I picked her up so she could get a closer look and then all of a sudden-splat. "It's lucky!" they say...what are they on about? You have to be extremely unfortunate to be casually walking along minding your own business to get (input relevant swearword here) all over you. The only 'lucky' thing was that we had baby wipes with us.
I always have to start the lead up to the New Year with a moan about something that went wrong in the previous months.
So now that's out of the way-
One thing I liked about this Christmas was the quality of television. I find it strange that we plan our day around the films that are going to be shown. "Ooh, Shrek's on at 1.40" so we sit in anticipation waiting for it to start despite the knowledge we own all of the Shrek films on DVD and can freely watch them at any time of the year we choose.
What I enjoyed watching most over this festive season was the new BBC adaptation of 'Great Expectations', and not just because of Douglas Booth who I've placed below as a New Year's treat. I usually stay clear of Dickensian things since the trauma of participating in the Dicken's Reading Competition last year and the disappointment of the school trip to Dickens' World . However this three-parter was amazing and exceeded my expectations.
