Receiving Creature Comforts: Merry Christmas Everybody! [strangely not on the Series 1 and 2 boxset of the hilarious Creature Comforts which I own; but at least this episode was not expensive] and Eamon Duffy’s latest book Fires of Faith – Catholic England Under Mary Tudor in the post at work. Very tempted to play [...]
Best news received this morning: my sister gave birth at 2:20 this morning, about a fortnight earlier than expected, to my third niece: Jessie Hope. 2.7kg and 46.5cm. Cannot wait to visit. Skye was very excited. She and Eden spent the night here, so the news was given to them, and [...]
Relaxing at home watching episodes of Six Feet Under [I have them all on DVD].
Going to Hog’s Breath [her favourite restaurant] for Skye’s 5th birthday and hearing all about her first day of school. As well as the joy of spending time with her [Eden spent most of it asleep].
Lunch out of the office [...]
Thank you all for your comments and best wishes. Like Mimi, I am rather prone to conjunctivitis [every 2 years I seem to get it], so it is something I am kind of used to, but would rather do without. Eye is still a bit itchy, but at least no gunk is working [...]
Haven’t watched TV for a while [tend to have stuck to DVDs of late] as nothing has interested me, but with the wondrous Freema Agyeman [Martha from Doctor Who] starring in the new Law and Order: UK I will have to tune in to the premiere tonight. I have enjoyed the various Law and [...]
From The Guardian:Contestants from the French version of Temptation Island have won compensation for unfair dismissal as well as the right to be treated as salaried workers – paving the way for legal claims from other reality contestants and potentially heralding the death knell for the genre across the channel. Mon dieu.
On the face of [...]
The Doctor Who episode I missed last week, but thanks to the ABC’s wonderful iView service [I imagine, similar to the BBC's, it can only be watched by people in Oz: but I may be wrong], I caught up with it. Wow. What a psychological thriller! A very different episode, and one [...]
Just saw this on one of the TVs at work.
What fun! And fun memories of primary school days and riding my bike on the BMX track behind the (now-demolished) tennis and squash courts, in a bush area. Good days.
Starting off with church, seeing Hancock in the middle of the day, and an evening with the first episode of Series 4 of Doctor Who tonight.
Hancock was good fun, though I was a bit disappointed — rather like Will Smith’s last film, I am Legend, I thought it lost its way about half-way through. [...]
The final assignment for the one subject I am doing this semester is due Thursday. It has been keeping me rather busy of late. It is a group assignment, and I do have a good group: but I still do prefer individual efforts. I know lecturers, markers, tutors, etc. do have [...]
