1) The girls had cute turned to 11 at times today!

2) New scooter "house" finally erected.  It was a pain in the posterior to put up but it's going to be much more pleasant getting going in the morning and parking up in the evening in future.

3) Phantom of the Opera may be high camp, and over-blown 80s pop ... but my, it hits the high notes harder than anything else, doesn't it?

1) Made the 6:45 by seconds ... but Autosport on the train got me chilled out again.

2) Presentations went well today.

3) Saw the girls again this evening.  They love their new tennis rackets!

1) Black Swan is unreasonably good.  I was expecting it to be good, but it was an order of magnitude better.  The photography is superb.  The build-up of tension is thrilling, and the acting entrancing.  Wonderful.

2) Got home very early, and the kids were having a ball in the garden.

3) Spent some quality time with them, too, as Grandma and Grandad had them all ready for bed in good time.

1) Second gym visit in three days - feels good to be getting back on it

2) Listened to Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas on the train, had to stop reading and listen to it twice more.  It's 10 minutes of perfection, and _very_ French.  Of course, when I listen to it I can't help by see Mickey Mouse in a big blue hat, but then that's not really a bad thing ...

3) Jacket ordered somewhat randomly looks much better than anticipated.  It's the wrong size, but when I get the right one I'm going to look AMAZING

1) My, but the Shard looked magnificent this morning!  And a plane flew past it as I was looking and I swear it was flying lower than the top of the building!

2) My eldest put in a wonderful performance in her school play.  The Easter Story told remarkably sensitively given their ages.

3) Conrad Gempf wrapped up his short series 'This Is Our Faith' as informatively and entertainingly as it began three weeks ago.  How I read the epistles is changed for good (in both senses).

1) Getting outside and actually seeing some natural daylight several times today, for one reason or another

2) Joined a gym and had a good first session

3) Listened to the first few tracks of "When Harry Met Sally" for the first time in years. It really is an almost perfect album!
