Listening to the weather forecast was unexpectedly joyous this morning, as they listed the hottest parts of the country and I went "...I'm right in the middle of all those places!" The weather is brilliant, it maketh me v. happy. I am wearing a skirt! And bare legs! This never happens! On Saturday I went over to Bath for a few hours to see Phil-from-school, we sat in the park by the river (the one you have to pay to get in, except Phil got in free for being local and I got in free as her guest, hurrah) and then mooched around Bath for a bit. Did not do much on Sunday, bit of baking, some light gardening, and revamped my profile a little. Oh, and listened to lots of Tintin - I have had it on tape for ages and it is all incredibly familiar. ♥
The Ten Doctors comic has been completed, and it's definitely worth reading if you haven't yet: it's incredibly fun, packed full of guest appearances and companion team-ups, all done with great humour, affection and enthusiasm. The art isn't perfect, though most of the time it's pretty good, and it captures the essence of the characters very nicely. I wasn't sure about the characterisation of Rose at first, but then she and Ace teamed up and it was awesome. And now I am shipping them.
Tomorrow's Women's Hour is a George Eliot special. Excellent, must remember to listen.
I actually have things to say about Ashes to Ashes this week! (Things other than: "well done, more of this please", that is.) Mostly what I have to say is oh, Chris. That whole sequence was very well done, both heartbreaking and plausible. And EEP on Summers shooting his younger self! I really did not see that one coming. I felt really sorry for Alex's frustration at the beginning: she'd done everything right, played by the rules, and she still didn't get to go home. And finally, on a happier note: I LOVED Shaz's 80s hair at the party!
