It's finally summer!

It was a lovely bank holiday this weekend. The weather was absolutely perfect... for a change.

I went to visit my parents.

Among other things, we watched Eagle versus Shark, which is always a wonderful film, and The Hunt for Gollum, which was shockingly well done considering it was just a fan-made thing.

Also, we walked through some beautiful countryside and, at the end of it, had a cream tea in a little village hall <3

In other news:

Latin status: Rapidly deteriorating.

Conjugating verbs, I can get. That's fine. That's easy. But who the hell thought it was a good idea to conjugate nouns? I've never had to conjugate a noun before! Shit's ridiculous! Bloody Romans.

...What the hell's a genitive anyway? Sounds dirty if you ask me.

Is it for nouns that belong to other things? I'd forgotten I was meant to be studying Latin! Whoops!

Yeah it's like instead of apostrophes.

e.g. "My brother's house" is "the house of (gen.) my brother"

It's well sexy!
