Does anyone else here follow astronaut Clay Anderson (@Astro_Clay) on Twitter? His regular twitter posting takes the form of "Clay's Pic Of The Day", photos of the Earth he took while a member of Expedition 15 for his followers to guess the location. Recently, he's been posting lots of pictures of dams around the world, and this was his most recent picture, to which I replied:

Photobucket


Referring to this Fry & Laurie sketch:



A few hours later, I saw he'd replied:

So, a new Fry & Laurie fan there? I'm glad he found it funny, given that this sketch is twenty years old and the Fry & Laurie comedy style is often a very English one, I'm glad their humour travels so well :)

New Winter PJs

Day 328 More shopping from Sainsburys, this just bought today on my way home from work. Given the cold weather forecast, I thought an extra pair of long pyjama trousers would be a good investment, particularly given that there's so much lovely nightwear on sale right now.

New PJs

I tried them on when I got home, they're a size 14 and they fit but ideally I would've preferred them a bit looser round the hips - they're not tight by any means, but I'll be keeping tabs on how the fit settles when they've been through the washing machine a few times. I didn't know whether size 14 or 16 would be best - I've got examples of both which fit equally well, the only problem with sizing up is that the legs are sometimes too long with full-length pyjamas. Also, I've had a few pairs of pyjama trousers from Sainsburys in the past and they've all fit differently while all being size 14.

And it's just under two hours to go until Fry And Laurie Reunited. OMG the anticipation is equal to that of a shuttle launch, or the buildup to the first ever screening of Blackadder's Christmas Carol when I was 15.

Yay. This has the correct music at the end which doesn't drown out the dialogue, unlike on the DVD release.
