It's far too easy to buy things online. A few clicks and all of a sudden you've spent £132 and have nothing to show for it for half a week. In this case, I spent an hour researching external hard drives and the reliability of, and have ended up buying something that's nearly the same as dad's got. I wanted 1Tb but it was too expensive to justofy, sadly :( But now I get to try and fill up 300Gb! It won't take long.

But of course the main thing I'll be talking about for the next two weeks is tennis. It's not been all that exciting so far, although that's mostly because there was hardly any play Monday and it keeps being interrupted by football. Today, while Andy Murray was playing the commentary on his match was on Five Live Sports Extra, which I can't listen to at work on my ordinary radio. Although I now know lots about Michael Vaughn's knee and the captaincy of the England cricket team - I never knew it was so complicated.

Work's been really busy, mostly because the network system is shit, frankly (I mean, even more than usual, if that's possible). Between that and the tennis I've not really done much else this week.

I'm going to the Film & Comic Con at Earl's Court tomorrow, so Sel can drool at see Rachel Luttrel. So I'm taping tomorrow's tennis (and if it wasn't bad enough I have to play a guessing game between BBC1 and BBC2 but I also have to play a guessing game with alternative schedules) so Middle Saturday will be played on Middle Sunday. Hence I will be avoiding all tennis tomorrow. And those eight hours will take much less than that to watch. But Andy Murrary vs Andy Roddick could be quite good/very disastrous and hopefully on whichever channel I tape. I'd tape both but then I'd have to leave my computer on all day in the heat while I'm out and I'm not keen on that idea.

Doctor Who, obviously, will have to wait for the BBC3 Sunday night repeat, but who cares about that.
