One cold roast chicken. Check. One potato and onion tortilla for the vegetarian. Check. One greek salad. Check. One large crusty loaf of bread. Check. Organic butter - the last ingrediant I need for the butternut squash risotto. Check.

Well I'm sorted for tonight. I just hope that someone brings the chocolate and someone remembers the wine. Then all we need to do is get ourselves comfy, switch on to Sky at 8 and letch er I mean watch Stargate season 10. Yay. If I was better at these things I'd insert a dancing banana right here!

Gasp, despite being a huge resounding success, Life on Mars is going to end after two seasons! Well good for them for sticking to their guns I guess. Any Americans reading this, I would heartily recommend downloading (that is, I would recommend downloading it except that is illegal so don't do it) and watching this show. It is one of the best things to hit the BBC in ages.

Well I have been about, but I've not been able to post. For the last week I've just been too exhausted and my evenings have been spent working. My apologies. And I suspect that there's a fair few new folks out there who don't have the foggiest idea who I am!

The 18th of October. That's the day the new, and possibly last, season starts in the UK. I'm having a party with nearest and dearest Stargate friends. I have avoided spoilers to an incredible degree this year - more so than any other year! My greatest and deepest thanks to the rest of the mod team for letting me skip the latest episode threads.

I also saw, at last, Michael Shanks' CSI Miami episode. Pfffooaarrr. Wow. I didn't realise it was that episode. I caught it purely by accident. My step daughter was staying and she likes CSI:Miami - it isn't my favourite. So I was only half watching, and thinking hmmmm that's a tasty looking fellow, hmmmmm very tasty, hmmmm he looks a lot like Michael Shanks. Then the camera pans to a view from behind. Oh yes, I'd recognise that rear view anywhere! It wasn't a bad episode, and my only real complaint is that there wasn't enough Michael in it :) To think I first started watching CSI: Las Vegas because Jonathan Glassner was involved. Doesn't the Stargate connection get everywhere?

It was a glorious gold sunset. The office looks out over Fitzrovia and West End rooftops, all glowing yellow in the last rays of the day. At a quarter past six. And the clocks haven't gone back yet. I'm so bored of winters. Can't we just skip one?
