Nosferatu

Had a lovely weekend. Was driven out to Berkshire by my cousin Chris to catch up with family, which is always a treat. I won't bore you with the details, but it was typically English in that it involved small village pubs, warm and flat beer, darts, pickled eggs (if ever offered, say no), pork scratchings, a dinner of roast guinea fowl and a barmaid with a heart of gold. Very satisfying.

My flatmate Helen and I went and saw a movie last night. They say that you can do just about anything in a big city, this was a very good example. We saw Nosferatu, the first Dracula movie, first released in 1922. This is, of course, a silent flick, a guy was standing next to the screen playing a guitar and keyboard. Tell me that that isn't the best way to spend halloween!
