Well the warm weather arrived and we spent the day walking into town and then having a few drinks at our local. Didn’t want to stay out too late because of missing the final Dr Who episode. Got home early, both had a little siesta and then woke to find that we’d missed the final Dr Who episode! Whoops… No problem, we caught the repeat showing on BBC3. It was great stuff. Really sad to see Eccleston go because I thought he was EXACTLY what the series needed. Don’t think David Tennant is the right guy (in my head it should be Sean Pertwee – making a nice bit of continuity with the past) but I’ll be cheering from the sofa when the series returns at Xmas.
In the post on Saturday: the recent Van der Graaf remasters. Ordered these ages ago and they took forever to turn up. Not bad.
The local guitar shop was closing down and I had a dream relating to this. In my dream, I saw a horrible guitar (similar to a Yamaha invisible guitar design) with nylon strings, but I bought it. They wouldn’t accept cash and I had to use my credit card. Of course, this was a dream and it would have been interesting to see if such an ugly guitar was actually for sale.
On Sunday, pottered around. Too hot to do anything else. Played some Internet poker in the garden and had a little win.
Today, the mugginess continues and some very loud thunder means that Alex the Wonderdog has been glued to my side. Got work to be doing but it is too icky to get behind it. Oh well, any excuse. 🙂 Wonder if Wimbledon will get rained off. I predicted it would last week as it always seems to get rained off on the first day.
In the post: Laurie Anderson – Video Collection. Managed to find a proper copy of this VHS release from the early 1990s. Never seen it before and it was a real thrill to seem some of these promos. Can you believe it, it was the first time I had ever seen the promo to O Superman.
