Day 5: Episode 6 of The Invasion with lemon drizzle cake - gas man’s friend the window repair man came for a quote, then… bought a dinner set and did a bonus trip to B&Q for wood, more paint and sanding sponges. Third time this week I’ve been told “You’ve taken on *quite* a project.”

As a former garden centre employee, we spent all of September putting up trees and decorations, but had the decency to shield it from the public until the first weekend in October. I’ll never accept anything earlier.

Spent the evening in a lovely pub with lovely beer and good company. Just scoffed a Mars bar out the machine on the platform before the journey home.

14 years ago I watched all the 7 Up series in the build up to 56 Up. I was 18 and fascinated to see how people’s lives developed from their youthful expectations and what really brought them happiness, while I was still figuring out what mine was all about. #70Up has been a great finale.

I’ve started a management apprenticeship course, which means I’m now signed up to various student platforms. All the emails are currently aimed at university students and I never expected to feel this ancient in my 30s.

In the past month I have done 6 lots of room painting. It has consumed 3/4 weekends. I fall asleep seeing brush strokes. In between, this week I packed up 22 boxes of books and blurays. I have one more small wall to do today but the desire to nap is so tempting…

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I was already a fan of Harry Sullivan’s further adventures and since recording this chat about the Sixth Doctor in comics, I’ve devoured the Fifth Doctor’s Tides of Time collection.

My dad’s 30+ year old personal organiser has given up. Fortunately he managed to copy his passwords list out in time, though not addresses. He is hoping to get an exact replacement. His partner has gently told him she thinks that’s nuts. I’ve never been more confident we’re related.

Packing books and discovered 1980s postcards from a colleague of my dad’s - he worked in the company’s exports department. Settling into his Zimbabwe hotel, Basil Brush was on TV.
It’d warm and wet (the weather, fool!), raised at the un-godly hour of 05.45 this morning - now settling into Basil Brush on TV and a quiet evening. Postmarked 23 March 1985.

I'm gonna admit that I think I'm struggling a bit to re-adapt to life in the UK after five years in Egypt. Is there anywhere in the northwest where people meet to chat about old TV? (I have other interests too, but that's what I'm mainly on here for...)

Work life and buying a house means I’ve been busier than ever this year. Today was my first in months that merely involved turning up at a time then got lead around Birmingham to sit around drinking and chatting with mates. No thinking, no proper plans. Nice diversion to the art gallery. Smashing.

Shall we have another 'Doctor Who Actors in...' thread? Why not! This time it's the James Bond movies I've turned my attention to. As always the focus is on credited cast, but there are some notable uncredited appearances and a few little tangents. So, let's begin...

Listened to true crime before bed so obviously dreamt about having to get rid of some bodies in bin liners. There was no blood or gore and I failed, realising ANPR ruled out all my disposal ideas, so turns out I’d be a terrible serial killer. Yay?
