After a long lie-in, the day was spent doing things like Laundry, tidying up, cooking etc. I really do relish the whole domestic goddess thing at times :-) Had a nice chat with my Mother in Law. I am very lucky to have such good in-laws, as my family, by and large, have never been the type I could ring up to offload or ask for advice. I suppose what you've never had you don't miss. I watched the BAFTAs in the evening, and although I still hate some of the luvvie backslapping that goes on, it is still inspiring to see people at the top of their profession. I would love to get some sort of recognition for doing a job that I loved, and that is pretty much what Helena Bonham Carter said in her acceptance speech for the receiving best supporting actress for The King's Speech. Not only was it a very deserving award, there is something very down to earth about her that I like. She also has very good taste being married to Tim Burton. It was fantastic to see Christopher Lee being honoured with a fellowship. I have always loved him for his portrayal of Dracula. As a child I used to be an avid reader of the Hammer Horror magazine, and would watch the Dracula films whenever they came on. His daughter Christina also worked for me for a while as a temp...so tat is probably as close as I will ever get to BAFTA greatness!
