Lego Indiana Jones

Not really much going on apart from making our house a constant mess with tools, sawdust, paint, things in boxes and furniture scattered around the place as the DIY marathon continues.

As some relief to the home improvement slog, we treated ourselves to Lego Indiana Jones on the PS3. It's a great game for two people but the Star Wars one was just a bit better. Some of the perspectives are a bit confusing and frustrating at times but all the key scenes make up for it. We've already started the third film but there's so much else to collect and complete for that 100%.

Although the cartoon brick violence has been kept light-hearted, I was surprised to see Lego Indy kicking an arab in the stomach whilst he was down - not very sporting but hilarious. There are no references to Nazis either to keep it clean.

There's not much else to report on my mum's house for sale either. There have been a few viewings and good feedback but no one's biting with any offers. As the media reports, it is doom and gloom so the renting option is looking more realistic.

Finally, I've treated myself to a new mountain bike which should be delivered next week. Check out this beauty, a Saracen Zen 3. Basically, it's like buying a high-spec Range Rover for running the kids to school but I hope to take it off-roading near some hills to make up for it.
