Another lovely day spent inside at the PC working from home...

Also took the opportunity to sort out some DVDs which were just lying around – by putting them into DVD boxes and printing off covers via the new printer – listening (as opposed to watching) a few of them as I worked...

Of course the spines now bear my awful handwriting...



Ripped the first eight of the ten requisite tracks for the next podcast...

On Anne’s return home, watched yet another episode of “CSI” – we now have just one episode left on tape, with the last in the series due this week...

Snoozed in the back room listening to a disc of Bruckner’s string quintet, which I seem to remember buying in Linz, Austria a couple of years ago...

Then, the last three episodes ever of “My Name is Earl” – of course when they were making them they had no idea the show was about to be cancelled – so it all ended on a cliffhanger which will never be resolved...

All in all, a bit of a damp squib ending to a show which has been superbly entertaining over the last few years...

“Question Time” followed, then, while Anne slept on the sofa after a hard day’s work, the start of “This Week” was held up slightly by a news flash to advise of the death of Michael Jackson...

I was never a fan really, though I thought some of his music was pretty good – of course we’re now set for the awful hand-wringing, wailing and gnashing of teeth nonsense, fawning journalism and fellow celebrities “unable to stop crying”...

And, of course, I wonder how long it’ll be till the inevitable jokes start doing the rounds...

To say nothing of the analysis of his massive debts...

Tragedy plus time equals comedy...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : My name is Earl...
