Exciting Times chez Tinworth
Oh, at least, if you're interested in gardening:
For today was the first day we actually got out into the garden to start sorting things out. Lorna did most of the work, frankly. I was engaged in the endless struggle to get my study under control for much of the morning. But out into the garden I eventually went, to do my bit.
I rather like our garden. If you ignore the shuddering traffic noises of the road outside our frnt door, it's a little oasis of calm in the heart of Lewisham. One a day when Lorna was woken by people fighting over parking on a side street, every little oasis of calm you can find is worth having.
Especially with barbecue weather just around the corner…
Bank Holiday Begins
Today has been an unexpectedly quiet day. We dragged Nicola back here in the early hours of the morning and let her sleep off her birthday excesses.
I cooked a full English brunch early afternoon, which helped recovery, and the rest of the day has been based around pottering and chatting.
Oh, and some work on my blog. I like to squeeze some productivity into the most indolant of days.
Who's that (MySpace) Girl?
Martha Jones, the new companion being introduced in the third series of Doctor Who that starts on Saturday is on MySpace.
It's not clear at this point if it's a fan effort or a BBC promotional decision. If it's the latter, that's a very interesting move for them.

Things of which I am ashamed #1
MainMor's post about the, uh, less than artistic nature of RPG illustration at times reminded me of the cover I was most profoundly ashamed to have my words behind.
Because, really, what the heck is there good to say about this?
Vox Hunt: Have This, Will Travel
Show us something you cannot leave home without.
Submitted by Quornflour.
Leaving home for the day is great. But getting home is even greater. Having spent much of the last week and a half on the road, it was so nice to pull up outside the flat and get inside, knowing that I had a whole two nights at home ahead of me. Yes, two. Luxury.
And just to make things better, Lorna had actually cooked me dinner. Yes, Lorna, cooking. Amazing.

Upgrading My Day
Oh, yeah, nearly forgot, BA gave me an impromptu upgrade to business class on a very quiet flight out this evening.
I feel well pleased with today. It almost makes up for the taxi driver diddling me out of €10, the swine.
Report from Our Man in Dublin
So, I'm in my Dublin hotel, and it's rather nice:
But the very best bit is this:
Yup, an in-room iPod dock/speaker system. Class.
The only downside so far is that the in-room (free) broadband is wired-only. So, no blogging from the comfy bed. Ah, well. You can't have it all.
