BEEN SPRING CLEANING…
… and now I’m shattered! I have friends coming over for Easter weekend and so decided to use it as an excuse to get the massive spring clean done. Kinda wish I hadn’t bothered but, hey, its a long weekend so it doesn’t matter that I’m eggs-hausted (oh, you’re going to be sick of these by the time I’ve finished!) because I can chill out and scoff Easter eggs. Oh, and enjoy the sunshine which has, for once, decided to turn up in the UK!
While chilling out I might just curl up and watch Norwegian Ninja (eOne: DVD) which is, much like the British sun, out now! From the producers of the eggs-ellent Dead Snow, this hilarious film fulfils all your ninja (and Norwegian) needs. For more info, you should check out the hubsite, which is packed with news, reviews, images and more!
