Weekend Fun

I've only been in the big, scary world of work for a few months but already I've come to learn how important weekends are for your mental health.  As much as I love idle coffee and papers time, I find I keep filling my free time to the brim.  Last weekend I saw A Town Called Panic at Hyde Park Picture House as part of this years Leeds International Film Festival.  It was just what I needed, a crazy, funny, sweet adventure involving a swarve Horse, a cowardly Cowboy and a bolshy Indian.  A slightly odd thing happened on my way in though.  I'd booked two tickets but I ended up going alone so after collecting the tickets from the box office I turned to the queue behind me and asked if anyone would like the spare.  A woman said that she would, but when I gave it to her she took it without a word.  No thank you, no grateful look.  Very strange indeed, but I did a good thing and hopefully it has still accrued to my karma bank regardless.

On Sunday my boyfriend and I went on our first wedding venue viewing excursion.  I had seen the outside of this place before and was smitten.  Picturesque doesn't do justice to the setting, it really is breathtaking.  Inside, I wasn't as impressed unfortunately, but I'm glad we've made a start on what at times feels like an endless quest.

Isn't it beautiful?  I'm quite taken with the idea of an Autumn wedding in the country.

Next weekend I plan to see a few more films being shown as part of the festival, including Handmade Nation at A Nation of Shopkeepers (possibly my favorite name for a bar ever).  Entry is free and there will also be handmade goods for sale and a how-to workshop.  Very Excite!
