Up late, 9am - breakfast and some terrible but strangely engaging daytime TV re a family trying to decide whether to move from Glasgow to Brisbane, on this, our last day of festive freedom...

Without finding out what happened in the end, we headed to Anne’s mum’s re a problem with her TV which she phoned me about yesterday...

Turned out to be a need for new batteries in her remote controls...

Whilst there, we called Virgin and made some changes all in all saving her around £13 a month – result...

Batteries were acquired during our planned trip to Tesco, after which we returned to Annes’ mum’s, fixed her TV and enjoyed an impromptu lunch...

Back home, we watched the second half of “Under a Tuscan Sky” – the Radio Times gave it one star out of five and commented that it had all the substance and depth of a puddle...

I thought it was ok...

Then we watched the DVD of “The Hangover”...



...a present to me from Anne at Xmas – we had wanted to see it at the cinema but, these days, with giant popcorn and juice portions, incessant use of mobiles, chatting and coming and going to the toilet and with no ushers or usherettes actually in the auditorium, trips to the cinema are usually less than enjoyable...

The film was very funny indeed, perhaps not quite up to all the hype, but enjoyable nonetheless...

Post this, some surfing and blogging followed by a tasty sirloin steak based dinner...



...and “University Challenge” featuring some particularly smug winners...

Enjoyed the funky sounds of the late Mr Buddy Miles too...



..and watched some old clips of "Dr Who" on the BBC website...

Highlight of the Day : Being on holiday for just one last day...
