Batman

To the flicks this week to see the new Batman film, The Dark Knight. Loved every second of it, I'm a real Batman fan. Spotted a Ken Barlow look-a-like in the film too.

My surreal Batman moment came when I saw four Gotham City police cars outside my office at work in central London a few years ago. Producer Christopher Nolan is an alumni of the University of London and filmed some of Batman Begins in Senate House.

Anyone care to listen to the ska version of the Batman theme tune?

I went to see this last night - and noticed the resemblance.

Heath Ledger was as good as they said he was.

Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
