Good watching

Monday, 27 October 2008 3:25 P GMT
The clocks have gone back and the nights are drawing in.  So it's nice to have something good to settle down to in front of the television.  Last night brought two such goodies first the return of Futurama, one of my very favourite prog

If you got fooled today hope it wasn't too embarassing.  If you were doing the fooling hope it went well.  We thought this was great. 

Good to watch

Slightly different hours for me at work today.  I went in a little later as I was staying later than usual to get some directions on how to shelve a new area for me of government publications.   Then this afternoon it was straight home

Taking the decorations down

Sunday, 6 January 2008 8:53 P GMT
Twelfth Night today.  So after breakfast down came the decorations.  It doesn't take half as long as putting them up and it isn't half the fun!  The house looks so bare now.Apart from that it was a typical lazy Sunday.  Re

It's Sunday again as quickly as ever but I have another short week this week, only one day on holiday this time though as we're going down to London on Wednesday to see the Terracotta Army exhibition at the British Museum.  We are really

Relaxing

My short but enjoyable break is over and it's back to work tomorrow.  It is going to be very hard getting used to full weeks again!  I don't know where the last few days have gone.  I may not have done very much but the time ha

Lost in Durham

Wednesday, 22 August 2007 8:08 P GMT
Should we or shouldn't we?  That was the question this morning when we got up and saw how cloudy, windy and chilly it was.  We had planned to go to Durham today but weren't sure if it was worth it.  I checked the BBC, the Met O

Chocolate sauce and television

I was expecting to be out for lunch today which would have meant more chips, probably not the best thing considering what we had in mind for dinner this evening.  But as it turned out my friend was ill and couldn't make it.  So it was a

The long weekend went as fast as I thought it would.  Today was one more day's holiday and a chance to finish off some of the very nice things we've had.  Although I still have some Easter egg left to eat.  And another thing fi

The wonderful sunshine we had a brief taste of yesterday came back today and stayed which was nice as I was out a couple of times.  First down to Tesco to do some shopping.  That was even worse than usual as it always is at a Bank Holiday.&

Behind the settee

Time to settle down in front of the television.  This evening Dr Who was back on the BBC.  After two excellent series and two specials and lots of hype this week would it live up to expectations?  The answer was yes!  It was just

Refunds

Sometimes it's a good idea to be persistant.  We were originally told that the shop we got the DVD recorder from wouldn't take it back unless there was actually something wrong with it beyond us not being able to get it set up.  We

Evening's viewing

A night in front of the television tonight.  First Planet Earth.  Still as amazing as ever.  You think each week they can't keep up the quality but they do.  And a lot of it is watch through the fingers television.  Tonig

Sunday evening is here again.  But this week it's not so bad as I have only a short week at work.  I'm on holiday Wednesday to Friday to do some shopping and buy lots of presents.  A great reason for having time off I think and

We had one of our regular raffles at work today this time for Children In Need, the annual fundraising marathon on the BBC.  Every prize had to be yellow and a fair bit of ingenuity was shown by people in providing them.  I bought my ticket

Pleased

Dad had to go to hospital today to have some tests for some problems he's been having.  He had to have a colonoscopy which isn't very pleasant.  But the good news was that it showed everything was alright which was very good to hear

Guy Fawkes

Sunday, 5 November 2006 8:51 P GMT
There are still a few fireworks going off now although most of them have finished.  Earlier on it was almost deafening at points and the sky was constantly lit up by showers of sparks of all different colours.  I even tried to take a short

Crowds

Wednesday, 25 October 2006 2:52 P GMT
Another shopping session this afternoon with Mum after work.  And the crowds were even worse than last week.  I hate to think what it's going to be like by December!  And we did manage to get a few things this time, some paper, bow

I meant to have a leisurely baking session this afternoon, something I haven't done for awhile as cakes and biscuits are not really part of a low fat diet.  But we had so much fruit left from making our Christmas cake that it seemed silly no

Food and candles

Saturday, 14 October 2006 9:44 P GMT
We had a lovely dinner for Mum and Dad's anniversary this evening and I am very full.  Seafood was the theme, crab to start then garlic prawns to follow.  The unfortunate side effect of that is that the whole house is well scented with

Hair colour and television

Saturday, 7 October 2006 8:14 P GMT
Busy day today.  Shopping this morning and on a Saturday morning I managed to find a till with no queue.  A slip up there as I'm sure queueing at tills is supposed to be a big part of the frustration of shopping.  Then lunch out.&n

Showers of rain and books

Thursday, 5 October 2006 6:49 P GMT
I needed an umbrella today not just outside but in work too.  There are few things as painful as having a book fall off the top shelf and land point side down on the side of your wrist.  And how do I know this?  It happened to me this

Another weekend over so fast again.  Somehow it's harder to get up in the mornings when it's so dull which it is now since Autumn is officially here.  Less going out and enjoying the weather and more staying in to avoid it.  An

Strawberries and sunshine

Saturday, 3 June 2006 11:17 P GMT
Another gorgeous day today. In fact I actually hunted out my sunglasses which, of course, was the cue for the sun to go in. But it remained a lovely day. And food has been the theme today as well. Lunch out which was the usual chips but a treat tonig

Sunshine

Sunday, 28 May 2006 7:13 P GMT
I haven't set foot outside today and the sun has shone since this morning - with a very small break for rain this afternoon - but every other day when I've had to go out the wind has blown and the rain has fallen. Still, being indoors gives me plen
