It's damp outside but not cold, and quite calm. Good weather for writing.
I went down to the Uni yesterday. I shifter a big boxload of books back home - a 16 volume Green's Encyclopedia.
Susan and I went in to town. We bought tickets for the Student Show at HMT. We are Italian then came home and watched 2 X Files.
I have just filleted the bookshelves, and have some boxes for Oxfam.
A neighbour is blasting out music - metal, 80s, something with a polka beat...
One of the Profs at the Uni loaned me a a volume - Volume 18 - from his Morison's Dictionary. 210 years old. Crumbling pages. Mouldering leather - Just like a copy of the Necrinomicon, borrowed from the library at the Miskatonic University, Salem, Mass. I'd best watch out lets I conjure up a Mondboddo, or a Braxfield.
I actually managed top exchange greetings with quite a faw of the law acads yesterday, doubtless quashing rumours of my death or emigration.
I bought a bodum travel brew mug and some loose Rose Souchong. It works.
Neither Susan nor I have ever been to a student show before.
Cauli cheese for tea.

"We are Italian"
Amazing. I had always presumed you were Scottish?
Note that student shows are only funny to students or those who have recently been students. I know you fall into the latter category but beware. If you laugh when everyone else does, you might get away with it.
Re: DH. Drink may have been taken. I stopped watching the Doctor after Peter Davison took over. Mostly because I was out of the country. So I never saw the Sylveste McCoy episodes to which you have compared recent episodes. I still like it. The short skirt or nightdress helps as well.
Ash sweeping tomorrow.

Desperate Fishwives - or, more correctly, Flying Pig Productions - grew out of the Aiberdeen student shows of the mid-90s. They arer all solicitors and accountants and teachers and law lecturers now. Susan and me are big fans. They have had quite a few shows now, including two runs at HMT, and they have had two seasons on BBC Radio. Their TV pilot is in the can. Here is one of their sketches:
