10 green bottles, lying in the dump

It’s been a relaxed Saturday as per the usual, but quite enjoyable. Good News Club this morning (there's more going on in this photo than Nick and the soccer ball)......then a quick look at the shoe sale at Warren’s (50% off all size 3 and 4 ladies’ shoes…pity I didn’t find anything suitable, other than the same shoes I had already bought at full price some time ago!!). Nick was only due at Tammy at 4 this afternoon and Pam didn’t come today, so we had a few hours to kill…we left the boys watching a DVD and drove to the rubbish dump to take pictures. We should have been going as a group tomorrow but we are going to the old people’s centre instead, so have rescheduled for next Sunday. Thought it would be fun to go today just by ourselves, which it was. Got home around 3, looked at the photos and deleted most of them (they were rubbish). For the rest of the afternoon I sewed while Nick was out, and finished the dress before packing away everything and vacuuming – the house looks presentable again.

Since broadcasting earlier in the month that we were watching House, I would like to go on record saying that this is not a series I would recommend. While the first two seasons were primarily based on solving medical mysteries, seasons 3 and 4 saw the writers delving deeper into the characters, with a disturbing emphasis on Dr House’s blatant atheism accompanied by a dialogue allowing all manner of blasphemy and incorrect or negative religious critique.

Yes, we thought House seemed like an interesting premise for a series at first but stopped watching it. I am not so sure that House is an atheist though - I think the character is written as WANTING to be an atheist but actually just being someone who is very angry with God.
