"A tidy room is a happy room. This is a very sad room."
Another week, another update.
Housework - I've mowed the garden, washed the kitchen floor and washed the bedroom windows. It all looks much better and I feel virtuous.
Dr Who - I've not been as impressed with this so far this year (and I haven't seen this week's episode yet). Perhaps it's because I'm now expecting more from it, perhaps it's because the episodes so far haven't really hung together properly. I didn't like the redemption of Cassandra because it was much too fast and last week's bad guys just didn't live up to their scary reputation (or appear to have a plan). I guess that leaves Queen Victoria; an episode I felt was OK, but not up to the standard of last year's "gas mask" two-parter.
24 - So far this season has been surprisingly good. There was a real tear-jerker of an ending to the episode before last when a main character died tragically (and, for once, I cared). The current bad guy is letting the series down somewhat (appearing to be super-human), but otherwise it's been really great. However, perhaps I'll wait and see what they do with the second half (slightly less) of it before I stick a "best ever" sticker on it.
Space Hulk - Friday night the Space Hulk set came out for the first time in ages. The Mission was number four (Cleanse and Burn) and I took the marines. I lost, sadly. In my defence, my command points went something like: 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 6, 2, 6, 2. I want to play more Space Hulk; possibly surrounded by a bit of a roleplaying campaign.
Chocolate Bible - After a long absence, out came Chocolate Bible and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bateleur and I had a go at making "Chocolate Cinnamon Cake with Banana Sauce". The cake was a big hit (although it didn't taste of chocolate!) and will probably be made again some time. The Banana Sauce, however, was rather underwhelming and we probably wouldn't bother with it another time.
