The week begins

Mutterings continued.

It looks as though I've forgotten to blog over the weekend. L and R came early to dins on Saturday so we spent the afternoon and evening watching a lot of DVDs. One of the offerings was The Golden Horns, a very funny Russian film featuring Baba Yaga, a house on chicken legs and whiny children. It was great and had a lovely pantomime touch to it. And we saw SG:Atlantis, Space 1999, Kolchak and an early MST3K. All good stuff.
