On Friday, as part of a work social event, I tried golf for the first time. To be honest, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but that's probably because my 'team' (we played in teams of four) included our support manager Paul, who is actually pretty good at the game. I can see why golf is as popular as it is, but at the same time it seems like such a waste maintaining these huge expanses of greens when we live in a country that's struck by drought. I guess our priorities are a bit skewed.

Saturday night Sal and I took in The Prestige, which is the first of the "big three" movies that I've been waiting for (the other two being The Illusionist and The Fountain). The movies aren't related in any way, but I've kind of logically grouped them in my mind for some reason. Anyway, The Prestige totally lived up to the hype - a fantastic genre-defying film. Go see it. Now.
