Boys like new toy’s… This one does anyway and having been restrained and not buying a new PC and just upgrading the graphics card I thought it was time to replace my trusty old Nikon that had travelled the world with me and taken many thousand shots.

Got myself a nice new Canon 450D entry level Digital SLR camera, so can start taking decent snaps again.

Only played with it round my girlfriends flat today but so far I love it and started the long bank holiday weekend in the usual frenetic way but did get to have another go at teaching the youngest to ride her bike and seeing that sense of achievement and pride on her face as she gets the gets the hang of it. Tomorrow should be typical British rainy weather so a chill out day should be in order.

Trainwreck: My Life as an Idoit Must watch film of the year for recovering alcoholics of all ages, far better than the much vaunted 28 days It is a very funny film with some great scene’s set in AA meetings and based on a true story. Sean Scott, who’s film’s I’ve hated, pulls off a fantastic performance proving himself a very good actor and was as much of a surprise as Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Plot line reads

A dramatic comedy about a self-induced attention-deficit disordered, learning disabled, Tourette’s syndrome suffering, balance impaired, ex-alcoholic young man from the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the gold-digging girl who inspires him to try to get it together.
