freja has been down for the last few days which has been delightful. we saw king kong yesterday, it is a real treat save for a few cgi minutes in the middle of the film which i presume were included so as to use the director's favourite graphics firm. today i went skating as early as i could and that too was a joy, though as my sage housemate suggested the skates were faulty. this afternoon i partook of a certain parambulation which i should like not to specify except to mention that i bid freja a fond farewell. oh yes, dear reader, ain't i volatile.
