miscellany

1. I watched me some Pros last night - haven't done that in far, far too long! It felt good to spend some time with the Lads again. I mustn't leave it so long next time.

2. It is becoming increasingly obvious that writing about TV isn't going to happen all that much this season - the thinky thoughts are all there still, but the time and energy aren't. Work is crazy busy at the moment, so that by the time I get home - bearing in mind that I don't actually have that many free evenings during the week anyway - all I want to do is fall over in a heap. I don't think that many people were reading my SN reviews anymore anyway, but for those that were, I'm sorry for the break in service! Maybe one day I'll catch up.

3. It's gone very cold this last week or two. Soon, I suppose, I am going to have to admit defeat and turn my central heating on!

4. We're having a joint 50th birthday party for my Dad's two youngest brothers today! That's his actual brother and the foster brother, btw - their birthdays are about 6 weeks apart, and this weekend falls roughly halfway between the two, so is the perfect time for a joint celebration. We're all going out for a meal together to celebrate - and by all, I mean probably close to 30 people, and that isn't even the whole family, just those able to get here this weekend! I'll have to take a headcount when I get there - I'm looking forward to my dinner at Walston Castle already!

Edit: I counted 31 of us at dinner, and that isn't even everyone who could have been there from the immediate extended family - 20 adults and 11 kids aged between 14 and 9 months! Yep, that was quite a gathering!

And 11 for Sunday lunch tomorrow...
