I'm very behind on my viewing - I now have Life on Mars, Doctor Who Confidential and David Tennant on Graham Norton to watch, as well as Smith & Jones commentary. And let's not mention two episodes of Lewis and three of Midsomer Murders. The trouble is TV watching requires being in and I just haven't.

This weekend was Rotaract District Conference (at the Rotary District Conference). Possibly I should have got more sleep in last week because I didn't get much at the weekend. It was good fun, though, to catch up with people I knew and get to know people I didn't. We nearly broke the dance floor Saturday night and had to move the disco to the other end of the room - which still made the CD skip when we all jumped.

There wasn't that much to see in Eastbourne and it looked like a typical seaside town, so Saturday afternoon I went to Brighton, being as it was only half an hour away on the train. Brighton I liked - it was much bigger than Eastbourne but really busy. The water was freezing - I put my hand in it.

By the time I got back on Sunday night I managed to stay up for an hour before going to bed. Then last night I went to Tescos and hit a pheasant on the way (I think it was a pheasant, it was big and brown and I can't think of anything else that would fit that description). It flew out in front of me and in the battle between pheasant and car it was a draw, since the pheasant was probably dead after that, and the grill on the front of my car, and the lights on one side are no longer as attached as they used to be.

Tonight I went to Rotary, to hear about Hong Kong and Macau from the GSE team. GSE stands for Group Study Exchange. A group of people are selected from here and from there, and they go to the other country to learn about that country and about their profession in that country. I'd never heard of Macao before, so that was interesting to find out about.

I did manage to see Doctor Who on Saturday night - live for a change, and for the first time for a series premier! There will be spoilers for that episode:
