Number 77: Take a tram somewhere

Last weekend was spent in Budapest - sightseeing, over-eating and lounging around in thermal baths.  Budapest is full of vintage-looking transport but a particular favourite were the bright yellow trams.

This one took us alongside the Danube towards Buda Palace, which we spent a rather chilly morning exploring. 

Number 51: Watch 5 foreign language films - Amelie

From here

I know, I know, I'm probably the only person in the whole who hasn't already watched Amelie, but I have now rectified that and boy have I been missing out!

I don't know quite what I was expecting from the film, but it was definitely wackier and more bizarre than I thought it would be - the dream sequences reminded me a little of Juno.  Audrey Tatou is captivating throughout and stunning as always.

I don't think I've ever finished a film and immediately wanted to rewind it (I know you don't have to actually rewind films any more, but...) and watch it all over again.  At least, not since my Beauty and the Beast phase circa 1998...  But that's exactly what happened with this film and I can't wait to re-watch it.

Number 9: Read every Jane Austen novel

Whilst away on my hols in Rhodes recently, I read Persuasion for the first time (slightly out of place reading about rainy Bath in the 40oC sunshine!).  And so, I've now read every Jane Austen novel and feel marginally more educated and accomplished.

From here...

On a side note - I was recently recommend the Lizzy Bennett Diaries by a friend and have just started watching it.  The YouTube series is a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice, with the story being told through Lizzy's vlog.  Once I'd got over the interesting re-writes to update the story by 200 years (the name puns are something else!), I really started to enjoy the series and, if you haven't already seen it, I'd highly recommend it!
