All the small things

It’s so hot at the moment, and I love it – why can’t summer be like this all the time? I love the sun on my back – it even makes me want to eat salad, but even more I want to sit by a river or better still, find a nice pub by the river…but instead, today, I went into town, and sat in one of the squares, at a pavement café, and drank peach tea, thinking that in just over two weeks time I’ll be in Italy. I also bought sun cream for my hols - as my hand hovered over the factor 4, I thought about being shouted at, by Cat, and by Corinne, and bought factor 15 (as well as 8). I will of course now have no tan at all!

I went shopping yesterday, just as the England game was on – I have never seen the shops so quiet on a Saturday afternoon – and this led to me buying two more new tops for my holidays – see, football has a lot to answer for!

I’ve finished ‘Order of the Phoenix’ and have moved on to ‘The Half Blood Prince’. I enjoyed OTP again, and had forgotten a lot of the story – I’d even forgotten about just how horrible Umbridge is, and how shockingly sudden Sirius’s demise is. It now seems a long time till the next book!

Dr Who – I haven’t blogged about it for a few weeks, but this series is just fabulous. This last two-parter raised lots of questions, but didn’t provide many answers, but in many ways was a celebration of being ‘human’. I think my favourite so far though is still ‘Girl in the Fireplace’. Once again, on ‘Confidential’, we were given hints that there’s going to be a very big finish to this series. It was good to hear ‘Torchwood’ getting a mention as well. It was also good to see Shaun Parkes, who plays Aaron in the Globe ‘Titus’, as the captain.
