Thanks to Missie for the above graphic!
I am currently on a break from school for Easter. I was awoken by the sound of my youngest cat Chewy scratching at my bedroom door and meowing. I groaned and looked at the clock… 09:15a.m. I thought I’d best get of bed and open my curtains. I was greeted by glorious sunshine, birds singing and spring flowers… fabulous!
I went downstairs and made some breakfast: a piece of toast and a cup of tea. Then I settled down to read the newspaper, nothing much of interest in it as usual. Mum asked, “What do you have planned for this holiday?” I have nothing planned as yet. I just want to relax on this holiday and take everyday in my stride before my A/S examinations begin next month.
Have any of you in J-Land been watching the Jane Austen Season on ITV1 on Sunday nights? Three adaptations of her novels “Mansfield Park”, Northanger Abbey” and “Persuasion” were broadcast last month.
I enjoyed “Mansfield Park”, which starred Billie Piper, as Fanny Price. But I found “Northanger Abbey really slow and boring. The theme of love and marriage is explored, but in my opinion, there was not enough character development, which left questions unanswered.
I have recorded “Persuasion” but have not watched it yet. I’m studying “Emma” as part of English Literature A/S course. What a coincidence, my favourite version of “Emma” is being broadcast on ITV1 on Good Friday! The drama stars Kate Beckinsale as Emma Woodhouse. I prefer it to the Hollywood version (starring Gwyneth Paltrow) because it is more realistic.
Well, that’s all my news for now. According to the weather girl, today is the Hottest Day of 2007 so far, so I'm going to enjoy the sunshine as it lasts because rain is forecast tomorrow!!
Until next time,
