Video Tour of our Pocklington House

By -

I made this video a while ago but haven't posted it yet because I wasn't happy with it. I can't remember why now, so I'm just going to post it. Ignore the towels hanging all over the place. There is a fitness center very close and various groups of us have been going swimming once or twice a week, so there are always towels hanging everywhere. Unless, of course, they are lying all over the floor, so I guess I should feel happy that they're hanging up!

    I like this house. Your kitchen seems nice. And that bathroom is cool. Too bad it can't be split into two or three. One bathroom is so hard with so many people. It's fun seeing everyone. HI, EVERYBODY! It's me, Aunt IVY!

      We like the house, too. The kitchen here is a good size and we have a freezer, which we didn't have in Liverpool. We are doing okay with one bathroom, but it does get ridiculous every now and then. When we go back to Prague, we'll have a separate toilet (toilet and sink) and bathroom (bath/shower, sink, washing machine), which will help.

      I also like the wavy floor upstairs and the stairs of varying heights, although both of those would probably really bother me if we owned the place. Since we're only here for a couple of months, it's just quirky.

Cicely, Alaska (Roslyn, Washington)

We missed out on the TV series Northern Exposure when it first aired, but Erin got into reruns of it in the late 1990s, and we’ve watched most of it on DVD since. Phin has lately started watching it from the beginning too, during his rare allotted blocks of TV time. During our recent drive up to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada , we took the opportunity to make a little side trip to Roslyn, Washington, which was the actual location of the fictional Cicely, Alaska portrayed in Northern Exposure. It’s a very small town, and we were there late enough in the day that most businesses were closed, but it was fun to see it in person at last.

Brazilian Lounge

Putumayo is a recording label that specializes in world music. All of their CDs guarantee "to make you feel good." So far I have found this to be true. A couple of weeks ago, while I was showing my mom and two of my sisters some of the cool shops in our area, I bought Putumayo's Brazilian Lounge . We like various kinds of electronic music (or techno or whatever; I am easily confused by labels), especially lounge stuff by groups like Thievery Corporation ), and I admit that I thought if I bought something Jon would like, he might not notice the money I was spending. (I also bought a floral mat made from recycled plastic, which I love very much and used as a sort of porch to our tent when we went camping recently.) Anyway, it was another successful music acquisition: groovy and mellow with cool Brazilian melodies and words. Shortly after I bought it, Jon said we needed to get more because he was in danger of making himself sick of it by listening to it too much. Now that

The Illusionist (2006)

I'm not really crazy about the main actor, Norton,(he looks like a little weasel and he played a bad, weasel-like guy in "The Italian Job") but I did really like this movie. It was entertaining and had a fun plot. I sort of guessed a lot of the movie's plot twists, but not all so it was still surprising. Jessica Biel is so beautiful in this movie that I wasn't even sure it was her. I had to look it up on the internet to make sure it was the same girl that is on that show "7th Heaven" that I can't stand. It was! But I really liked her in this movie. Great ending (of course or I probably wouldn't have liked it). :)
