Day 95 Discovery is in orbit! Liftoff was at 11.21am my time. All went well. So cool to see the shuttle fly into sunlight.
I had planned to be up & ready, breakfasted etc, for the launch but I ended up sleeping in because the dog down the street was barking until 2am so that killed my chances of getting to sleep on schedule. I woke up about 10.45am instead, having endured another one of its barking sessions (around 8am, so not really an issue on a workday, but given this is a bank holiday and it had been up till 2am yapping, not good).
I've started collating the various highlights from Comic Relief shows for preservation, have done 1988 and 1989 so far, but I don't think I have a full version of The New Statesman. Not converting the Blackadder ep because that's already everywhere, ie the boxed set. I have the stage show (from 1986) somewhere too, they put it on really late at the end of one of the Red Nose Days, this was just after Gary Glitter got sentenced and they left his part in, which I thought was odd.
Another thing I found recently was some old TV adverts, some on TV-Ark and some on YouTube. Found a mid-1980s British Gas ad among a collection, and the gas fitter looks like Kenneth Branagh. Also found an Angel Delight ad with voiceover by Hugh Laurie. It makes me want to have Angel Delight again - we used to make it into ice lollies.
