My Dear Fellows & Dear Princess,

Do you observe the notion of the "Birthday Weekend"? Theoretically it is Er Indoors's birthday tomorrow but that is a Monday. Who can have a good birthday on a MONDAY?

So I deemed that Er Indoors should have her birthday yesterday and today. She has been spoiled with movies starring Toni Collette and Diane Keaton. We also watched "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" last night, which we both enjoyed a lot. It has two of our favourite actors - Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand, so it was bound to be a winner.

(You wouldn't like it Princess. There is quite a bit of swearing. Cover your ears.) 

Indeed, one line that made me laugh was when Frances rents her billboards and asks what she can't legally say on them -

FRANCES: I guess you can't say p***, s***, f*** or c***, huh?
MAN: (Shocked) Or... or... "anus".
FRANCES: I think we should be okay then.

I also got Er Indoors sweets and ordered pizza for her lunch today. Today's blip is the pizza box - Hell Pizza is a popular chain here. I had "The Lust". Er Indoors had "The Wrath".

We also watched the first episode of "Big Cats". We love nature programmes, and especially ones about cats. That is, so long as no cute animals get harmed. We were fine watching a leopard take down a caiman alligator because alligators aren't fluffy and cute. 

But then came the Patagonian Pumas and... "NOOOOO!!!! NOT THE PENGUINS!! OH THE HUMANITY! IT'S A PENGUIN MASSACRE!!!"

Upsetting. But we still enjoyed the programme. 

And now I'm doing a few chores, and getting ready for tomorrow. Er Indoors's birthday, but not really. Never on a Monday.
