Saturday, I went to Collectormania in Milton Keynes. Well, mostly I went there to see a friend from uni, whose parents live there. I felt ill on the coach on the way there, which wasn't a good way to start. The actual thing was just as I remember a few years back - no-one interesting, no stuff that's interesting and all the stalls crowded too close together so you can't see anything or get anywhere. And it's very hot. I also completely failed to find a suitably insulting birthday card for my dad.

But we did have very nice Chinese for lunch and we watched the skiers (and snowboarders) in the Snowdome. I really want to go now - I think I'd far rather try skiing there than somewhere abroad and cold. I ended up going before the last bus because I was really tired.

Sunday I was supposed to have a driving lesson followed by going swimming and generally taking some time to get some stuff done. However, I woke up feeling sick. So I did simultaneously watched two different Doctor Who stories and Midsomer Murders (when there was a break I switched) as well as the program about Monkey World and Jane Eyre. I'm convinced Mr Rochester is just playing with Jane and it's all going to end in tears. Baby chimps defy the law of all babies being cute because they're really ugly when they're just born, they get cuter later.

I also saw the last episode of Firefly. I just have the extras to go, then the film. I really enjoyed the last episode, it looked like they were doing interesting things with the characters and going further towards establishing what the Shepard's secret is. And finally maybe doing something about the Mal/Inara UST, which is driving me up the wall.

Annoyingly, I found that the new Terry Pratchett is cheaper in Borders than amazon, so I will have to go back to buy it. And might have ended up buying the Big Finish UNIT series instead...

But, yay, Spooks tonight! Which someone at work, correctly pointed out is the only thing on all week worth watching.
