Julie and Julia

Little Victories by the Harbourside do some amazing coffee. I was craving a cuppa so Rebecca and I did a tiny pilgrimage there for a long black and a flat white. Sipping it while watching the weekend rowers glide along the water is a Saturday pleasure. It was back to business at home as we cleaned and hoovered the house within an inch of its life. Always nice to step back and admire the fruits of your labour though, it made for a great space to watch a film in. Julie and Julia was my vote for movie tonight and it was a charming little surprise. Every book about screenwriting drills in the notion that conflict = story, yet this is one of those rare examples where even a frictionless plot can make for an engrossing watch. It won't change the world, but it's heart is firmly in the right place and sometimes that's enough.
