Knackered

Tonight I saw Pavee Lackeen at the Filmhouse with Ansgar, Ho-il's flatmate. Pavee Lackeen depicts a Traveller family in Dublin, with particular emphasis upon a girl of ten and the difficulties she faces at school and in life. The observational and non-judgemental way the film is presented impressed me. Situations from her life are explored in a way that I found engaging, without being played for drama or emotional manipulation.

Aside from that, I am skint and knackered. I really must try to be asleep before midnight. Pay day on Friday. An email arrived today informing me that the Hill Walking Club trip to Ben Lui on Saturday will most likely require crampons and ice axe (as has every other trip I've been on so far). I fired an email back asking if I should still be going, given my lack of experience. The organizer's answer was "no."

So now I have Saturday free. I'll most likely help out with leafletting on Princes Street again. I will also try and make it to the National Portrait Gallery, if I can get up early enough. Either that, or I could go to the farmers market and sample the ostrich burgers.

I'll definitely be going to Neon this Sunday. And suffering for it on Monday again.
