Just when I was about to give up...
I was beginning to think I wasn't cut out for this blogging lark. It just gets in the way of having a life...
Then I was proved totally wrong when I went out into the yard to feed the hens. And there I found...our/their first egg. Oh joy of joys. What a day. It's small and brown and never has an egg been so celebrated. There's something very satisfying about this whole business and if you can't post a blog on a day like this, well...there really is no point.
Meanwhile the BF's film had its premiere in Liverpool at the Philharmonic Hall last week and was a triumph. It's also playing the London Film Festival this weekend and then on general release on 31st October, which happens to be the same day as the new Bond movie is out.
So hopefully Ena, Minnie or Martha, for I know not who laid the first egg, has given me the inspiration to carry on informing you of this Kirkby Girl's antics. After all, I don't want to keep all my eggs in one basket...

Meet Ena, Minnie and Martha...
They're a bit wary at the moment but I reckon it's only a matter of time before I've got them on the couch watching The Wire with me...

Coming home to roost...
I haven't even delighted you with fake tales of San Francisco...Las Vegas...and LA and I have three new little Kirkby Girls to introduce you to. Technically they're from Frodsham but I'm hoping they'll come to idolise their leader over the next few days.
They are in fact, chickens. Hens. Supplier of tasty eggs for the family for many months to come. So new that only one of them has been christened yet. She's Martha and she's white.
Pictures and all that come with it over the next few days. Deadlines, schmeadlines...

I need an audience...
Or at least to know that one is there...
Father's Day is a short film by Steve Hughes starring Yours Truly. Watch and comment away for God's sake.

It's blogging girl, but not as we know it...
I've stolen this from The Queen of Staving off... who in turn stole it from someone else but it seems as good a way as any to keep you entertained until I can get my shit together with witty stories from San Luis Obisbpo and the likes...
1. My uncle once: led a double life, like a soap cliché.
2. Never in my life: will I vote Tory.
3. When I was five: I looked like one of The Children of the Damned.
4. High school was: non-existent. I went to a senior school. It's since been closed down.
5. I will never forget: that I'm a Kirkby Girl. Unless I get Alzheimer's in which case I'm hoping I believe I'm Jackie Onassis.
6. Once I met: Batman. I won't say which incarnation.
7. There’s this girl I know: who would relish the chance to go to a Royal Garden Party.
8. Once, at a bar: I saw Samuel L Jackson.
9. By noon, I’m usually: Drinking tea, surfing the net, avoiding work.
10. Last night: a DJ saved my life.11. If only I had: been a bit shorter I could have had Bridget Fonda's role in Scandal.
12. Next time I go to church: I hope it's in Rome.
13. What worries me most: is something horrible happening to my kids.
14. When I turn my head left I see: a fantastic map of the world that was used daily by a shipping company.
15. When I turn my head right I see: the magic cupboard. It contains everything you need.
16. You know I’m lying when: I fill in stuff like this. Or do you?
17. What I miss most about the Eighties is: My rakish figure.
18. If I were a character in Shakespeare I’d be: Yorick. Who cares?
19. By this time next year: I'll have that rakish figure back.
20. A better name for me would be: I have all the nom de plumes I could wish for.
21. I have a hard time understanding: Golf. And all it stands for.
22. If I ever go back to school, I’ll: be a grade A student.
23. You know I like you if: I ask questions. I'm interested.
24. If I ever won an award, the first person I would thank would be: Certainly not God.
25. Take my advice, never: get your teeth whitened.
26. My ideal breakfast is: The Guardian, earl grey tea, croissants.
27. A song I love but do not have is: "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan.
28. If you visit my hometown, I suggest you: Go to the Everyman Bistro.
29. Why won’t people: be nicer to each other.
30. If you spend a night at my house: I hope you like earl grey tea.
31. I’d stop my wedding for: a cup of earl grey.
32. The world could do without: Cancer.
33. I’d rather lick the belly of a cockroach than: Vote Tory.
34. My favourite blonde(s) is/are: me…
35. Paper clips are more useful than: tetra packs.
36. If I do anything well it’s: have a laugh.
37. I usually cry: at the beginning of It's a Wonderful Life.
38. My advice to my child/nephew/niece: would be to do it all.
39. And by the way: I tried to say I'd be there.
Oh, she said it was okay to steal it. And so did the person she stole it from. So, feel free. And let me know what you think.
