What’s the funniest movie you’ve ever seen?
I know – probably an impossible question. Over at The Samovar we were given two choices by Dan and I just wanted to open up the options a bit.
Actually, I don’t think I’ll be able to pick just one, so you don’t have to either. 😉

What’s going to be on your Christmas dinner plate?
A couple of years ago I made a variation of this, without the turkey and substituting a small leg of lamb for the pork and some ribs for the beef. The roasted veg were amazing and there was plenty leftover to make shepherd’s pie the next day.
Not sure what to do this year – any suggestions?

Two quizzes in a row! 
You scored as Carrot Ironfounderson. You are Captain Carrot Ironfounderson of the City Watch in the greatest city on the Disc … Ankh-Morpork! A truly good natured, honest guy, who knows everyone, and is liked by all. Technically a dwarf, but only by adoption. You’d rather not be reminded that you are the true heir to the throne, but that does explain why people naturally follow your orders…

These quizzes are uncannily accurate, aren’t they? 😉

Hmmm . . .
| You scored as A classic novel. Almost everyone showers praise upon you for your depth and enduring relevance. According to your acolytes, everything you say is timeless, erudite and meaningful. Of course, none of them actually listen to you. Nobody listens to you at all, but it’s fashionable to claim you as a friend. Fond of obscure words, antiquated notions and libraries, you never have a problem finding someone to hang out with. The fact that they end up using you to balance their kitchen tables is an unfortunate side effect, but you’re used to being used for others’ benefit. Oh the burden of being Great.

Yet another one stolen from raincoaster!

          Another fabulous Sunday walk. 🙂
This time we went to Heliopolis, which is a neighbourhood that was created for official visitors to the 1929 Iberoamericana Expo. It was meant to be temporary … quite amazing when you see how lovely the houses are. Apparently most of them have had to be pretty much rebuilt but it’s one of the few places in Sevilla that has individual homes with gardens, and a lot of the houses are quite spectacular.
At the start of our walk we ran into our musician friend Juan and I was shocked to see that he had cut off his gorgeous waist-length hair! Then we took the bus out to Heliopolis as it’s about an hour’s walk away. After wandering around there for awhile (Nog had never been to Heliopolis before) we walked home, stopping in Maria Luisa park for a much needed cold beer … and we met a lovely guy from Senegal playing a very strange instrument carved out of a pumpkin.
You can have a look at what we saw over here …
