I have finally set up my blog on flickr and it crossposts to LJ, how cool is that?

Yesterday was actually a good day despite the heat and screw-ups on my part.

The London Film and Comic Con was actually quite good - somehow we managed to spend five and a half hours in it. I only came out with a book, a DVD, a picture and a postcard which is pretty good going really. Matt Irvine was there with the real K9, which was very cool. He's bigger than I expected.

Then I got home in time to tape Confidential and annoyingly, found out one Wimbledon result. But, I started watching it once I was sure it had all finished and Nadal had just won the first set off Agassi (yes!) when it was time to switch over to BBC2. In theory, that's what my video did. In practice, my 2 was rather more like a 1, so there were much swearwords when I found I had a tape full of football instead of tennis.

But all was not lost because when I stopped the tape I discovered Today at Wimbledon was just showing the end of the match. Whew! Next up was Andy Murray vs Andy Roddick. So it would have been helpful if the commentators had stuck to last names. But still, even when they showed Murray winning the first set I never for a minute believed he could win. I mean, Roddick's a really good tennis player and Murray's still a kid and not that great yet. Murray won in straight sets, although it was a really close game. I think I'm still in a state of shock.

On the plus side, my accidentally taping BBC1 now means I don't have eight hours of tennis to watch today so I can catch up on the Doctor Who commentaries and do some other things I need to get done. And I got to see Doctor Who. Which was quite good although mostly I was just excited because it had Raji James (used to be in The Bill) in it, which I'd forgotten about. He's a really nice guy, so good for him.
