I spent much of last
night laying awake listening for the crying of a baby Grandson who
spent much of the night fast asleep. I got up shortly before 7am
because I heard "Daddies Little Angel TM"
getting up. But she just used the facilities and went back to bed. I
stayed up and watched drivel on the telly.
Eventually everyone got
up, and we set off to Folkestone about an hour later than planned.
From Folkestone we drove
down to see my mummy and daddy. We stopped off in Rye for geocachical
purposes (crafty FTF - happy dance), but were soon in
Hastings. We stayed for an hour or so; longer would have been nice
but I was feeling rather tired.
We came home, and then
did what normal people do at Christmas; slobbed in front of the
telly. We started off watching the Christmas episode of Doctor Who...
What can I say? I *want* to like the show; and Peter Capaldi
is the best Doctor for many years. But he is only as good at the
scripts he's given. And this one was done far better by the Red
Dwarf team over twenty years ago.
Then the last episode of
"Trollied"; a much-overlooked series. Next I sorted
my undercrackers whilst watching a film; "Pirates in an
Adventure with Scientists". That was surprisingly good.
The all-new "Still
Open All Hours" was something I felt I had to watch; if only
to run it down with a clear conscience. The original was frankly
dreadful, and this sequel was in exactly the same vein. How can the
BBC justify putting something so bad on at peak time on Boxing Day?
Having seen quite a
build-up for BBC's one-off "The
Boy in the Dress" I'd been looking forward to it. It
was every bit as good as the hype would have had us beleive. We then
got the meat and pickle out and scoffed that whilst watching the
Christmas "Downton Abbey" which lasted far longer
than the meat and pickle, so for dessert we sorted the port and
stilton.
By the time I tootled off
to bed we'd got ten per cent of space available on the SkyPlus box.
Must keep up the good work getting all these programs watched...
