Oscar night

John got the scourge this morning. So there was no way we were going to Knoxville for the ballgame. Fortunately, it was on TV. The Lady Vols had a good day, winning 80-60. John managed to stay awake for the whole game, with only a couple of bathroom breaks, but spent most of the day in bed. He’s still pretty miserable.

So the Academy Awards are over for another year. Since I’ve seen four of the nominated movies (for the first time in many years), I watched most of the program. I was disappointed that Geoffrey Rush didn’t win for Supporting Actor, but thrilled that Colin Firth won for Best Actor, and The King’s Speech won Best Picture and Best Director. I’ll be putting that on my Netflix queue, so we can watch it again.

Stay away from this intestinal bug/flu/whatever. It’s nasty!

Our first English encounter with standing stones at Avebury (we've seen them before in Brittany and the Orkneys).
