Faraway: Sunday

Jet is having a lot of fun meeting new friends in the country. So far he's met an echidna, a small bat and today he met his first frog. So far, it's one for three with only the bat surcumbing to Jet's charms.

This little frog was found in the rock wall of the new herb garden. He was, and continues to be, fat and green and not afraid of curious terriers.

TV: Misfits

Are you watching this show yet? It's so great - a bit like The Inbetweeners meets Skins with a tiny dash of Shaun of the Dead - sortof.

Five young people have to do community service for anti-social behaviour (ASBO). On their first day there is a freakish storm and they are hit by lightning which cause them to develop special powers. Because this is a British show, the powers they develop are based on their personalities. For instance, one girl is tough, and doesn't care what people think of her so she develops a telepathic power to hear people's thoughts when they're thinking about her. Another becomes really invisible, after a lifetime of no one noticing him.

It's really good, has a super soundtrack, great dialogue, fantastic ensemble cast and is beautifully filmed - like watching through a tilt shifted lens or a lomo camera or other cool banana retro carry-on.
