weekend, films etc

We've had a nice relaxing weekend so far, but Carla and I have done our exercise workouts steadily over the last week or two, and continued over the weekend, completing a rotation of the "Slow and Heavy" programme by Cathe Friedrich. The workout targets the main areas of the body that need attention, such as the chest, back, arms etc. I'm very sore now, but it's worth doing to keep fit! We've also done some cardio workouts in between.

After popping into town to do a bit of shopping, today we watched another one of those Hammer 'Dracula' movies I bought last weekend, this time it was "Taste the Blood of Dracula" (1968) which was very entertaining, and far better than the one we watched last time (it was a direct sequel to that film.) We are enjoying this 'horrorthon' of ours, so I've ordered some more classic flicks: "Scars of Dracula", "The Legend of Hell House" and "The House on Haunted Hill", all of which we hope to watch on Halloween next Saturday! I also bought my pumpkins yesterday morning, and while in the shops had a look at the stuff on sale and picked up some other little halloweeny trinkets. Can't wait to trim up! Oh, late last night one of the channels was showing "Fright Night"- a classic from the 80's - which I must buy for the collection!

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer" continues to be a complete joy to watch. We are following it on the sci-fi channel and are up to episode 3 of series 2 at the mo. Spike (played by James Masters) has just turned up. Great character, but has a slightly dodgy English accent. I've been told by a friend that it gets better over the coming seasons!

Oh, it was also very nice to get an extra hour to our Sunday as the clocks went back last night! Also, glad to see that the terrible weather forcast never became a reality!

Lastly, I have discovered dark chocolate Mars bars!! Yay!
