I'd forgotten how much I love May. With two long weekends in the course of a month, what's not to love? I spent this 3-day extravaganza up in Lincoln with my old housemate, holiday buddy and all-round fantastic friend Jojo, consuming all her food (and most of the city's alcohol), playing with the cat and honing my skills on the Nintendo Wii.

It was great to get out of London for a few days and take a breather. I ended up staying an extra night after Jo, Chris (her brother) and Amy (Chris's girlfriend) wooed me with the promise of a pub quiz. We ended up coming second. That sounds good until you realise there were only three teams. Still we got a bottle of wine for our troubles and I got all ten of the movie questions right, so my reputation as a film buff remains intact, at least with three people in the East Midlands.

Speaking of films, enjoy...
