It's been a fairly busy ten days or so. The weekend before last,
In between,
We went out shopping on Friday for a new DVD recorder, the old one having failed to record the last three things we asked of it and thus being consigned to the junk-heap. As is the way of these things, the new one is brighter, shinier, fancier and with a hard drive as well, for about half the price of the old one. It seems to work rather better, in that it _has_ recorded Dr Who (must watch that later).
Random observations:
- the world's laziest, tamest duck by the river outside the Waterside Inn. I don't think it was being fattened for the plate.
- a collection of builders' lorries decorated for St George's Day on Saturday, without any obvious organised event for them to attend.

rotwang at about 9pm yesterday to find out what I wanted as a present ;)
- the tea-shop in Ewell village does a very nice Welsh rarebit
- it is surprisingly hard to find gold-coloured stockings or hold-ups (unless you go to a theatrical suppliers, I guess)
- negotiating stairs in a floor-length skirt can be almost as hard as it used to be for the Daleks
- go and do
