Where did yesterday go?
[growl] Doesn't help that it's that time of year again and they changed the bloody clocks. Now, do I change my settings here or just try to remember to add an hour to the post time...? Given my memory I'll change the settings...
So - Dr Who number 9 (if you count Paul McGann, which I do: I think he'd have made the most
gorgeous 'romantic' Dr but there you go) arrived on Saturday. Christopher Eccleston. Who's Christopher Eccleston? I don't know the name at all. Not that it matters, I thought he was great. (And the opening was
scary! But then again, I've never liked anything doll-like, even when they were forced on me as a child...) Understand I'm not exactly a Who fan - I'll watch it if it's on but it's not a must-see for me and never has been. But the new series looks like it's going to be fun. Kai's been looking forward to it all week, and he loved it, which is the main thing, so it's bookmarked for regular viewing.
I spent a fair bit of yesterday re-drawing my Haadri map, with Kai working out distances for me - then covered it with sticky-backed plastic (hah! Try your tricks now, you muddy-pawed kits!) while we all watched
The Day of the Triffids. That's one film that might benefit from being remade, I think. The rest of the day was a
Local Heroes marathon. [groan] Much as I like and admire
Adam Hart-Davis a whole day of him is a bit much. Kai enjoyed it though - complained loudly when I switched over to catch
Crusade, which he says he can't stand. No idea why...
We had another cat sneak through the kit-flip last night, the prettiest little fluffy ginger thing with a white face and a black beauty spot on its lip. Poor thing was scrabbling to get out, terribly frightened when it wouldn't open. I shooed it out then switched the flap to both-ways closed, think we'll have to make a habit of that from now on.
Food.
Yesterday morning: nowt - I didn't wake up 'til gone noon...
This morning: pot of jasmine tea and a glass of grapefruit juice, and a banana.
Yesterday afternoon: some of the chocolate buttons in Kai's Eostre egg (he's a very sharing child), two crispbread with slices of Cheddar and port and cranberry sauce. And a banana.
Yesterday dinner: stewing steak casserole (as last Sunday), low-cal chocolate mousse. Today I'm making stir fry - diced pork, a packet of
Amoy Thai-style stir-fry veg and shitake mushrooms in teriyaki sauce with added cooking sake (yes, I know, a bit of a hodge podge but it's tasty!) on organic long grain white rice.
Yesterday evening: slices of Cheddar and Edam with more port and cranberry sauce. And a banana. Ken bought a lot of organic bananas on special...
Today Kai is tidying up his corner. It's an all-day job.
Ken is preparing a synopsis of the Dartmouth book for a potential new publisher - crossing fingers...
And I'm going back to Haadri. Last chance to write during the day this week - Kai and I will be out and about for most of the rest of it.
