cybermuleWell hurray for me - I've found out how to change the font size in my browser window. Or more specifically, I've found out how to shrink it again after I accidentally held down CTRL+mouse-wheel.
I already posted about the main event of the weekend - moving Mum. She seems very happy, sorting out photos and pootling around the flat. WEll, other than my bro phoning her at 4am to complain about his GF stalking out on him *shakes head*. She'll be right back (or at least I hope so!), but I can't say I blame her - he won't let her have any friends :(
Anyway, more pertinently, I also sorted my mom out with a washing machine, which will help my bro and I when we're caring for her and means I won't have any urgent need to replace mine when it conks out. I also yoinked her a free bedside table - someone was throwing it out at the tip, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Despite extreme business, I watched a lot of movies - Shrek on Friday night, Dracula on Saturday and Lost in Translation on Sunday afternoon. That last one was pretty good - I liked the feeling of strangeness and slight dissociation, which tied in well with the characters' insomnia. The photography was neat too, and made me really want to visit Tokyo. A lot of people complained about the lack of resolution, but I quite enjoyed the idea that it didn't need resolution, but that two people could just enjoy a week's "maybe a bit more than friendship", and be enriched by that without having to make a big thing out of it.
EDIT: Ooo - I also finished clearing out my bathroom. Complete with new non-rotting floor/hand-made bath panel. Busy, busy, busy...
