Muddling Through Monday.

My goodness me – it’s a hot, hot day today, which is following on nicely from the hot weekend that we’ve just had. It seems like summer’s here although there are storms due here over the next few days so I guess we’ll have to enjoy it whilst we can!

Nothing exciting to report at the moment, I’m afraid, but here’s a update with my exciting life…

Had a nice quiet weekend in the house as opposed to going to the Solid. Managed to tidy up the garden on Saturday and then sat out in the garden for a bit - but didn't manage to get a suntan. I actually only cut the grass as it was just too nice to do the hedge, then I went for a drive in the car after deciding that the hedge can wait till next weekend. Saturday evening was mostly spent watching "The Girl Can't Help It" (a film starring Jayne Mansfield with Fats Domino, Little Richard, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran) which I've always wanted to see but didn't ever manage to! Very enjoyable as it happens!

Watched the new Ringo Starr DVD (available from the link at the bottom of this entry – Buy your copy now, right?) which is just great!! I know it’s two years old, but it’s nice to have something new to add to the collection – plus there’s a few tracks on there that I haven’t seen him perform before. If you do watch it, look out for Ringo rockkkin in a cracking sparkly Def Leppard t-shirt. Also managed to squeeze in watching Sir Paul McCartney MBE palying Anfield stadium - excellent!!

I’m out on Wednesday night this week, as Colin Spaull (who appeared in the old and new series of Doctor Who) is up in Glasgow doing a voice over for a commercial. I met him in May at a Doctor Who thingy in the Central Hotel (the same weekend I met Karen) and he said he’d get in touch if he was ever back in Glasgow, which he is a fair bit. Nothing too exciting – just a couple of beers and a chat, but it should be fun. On the subject of Doctor Who, the Proms show is available on the BBC Website (for those in the UK only, I’m afraid) at the links below:

Booked up to go back to see Karen, Matthew and Rebecca in early September. It’s Rebecca’s birthday on 31st August and she did ask me if I could come over for it. It’s suppost to be a secret – but we’ll see how long it actually stays a secret! I'm guessing - not very long! I head over there on the 29th August to Belfast City Airport (as opposed to the International) and head home on the 6th September. Hopefully the weather will be as nice then as it is now!
