Eeeeeeeek!

It's hard to believe it's been nearly a week since I've been on here to do anything more than post the daily music video, but it's been a busy week - but here I am with a potted summary of the past 7 days....

Sunday night & Monday night I watched cop drama "Messiah: The Rapture", without the yummy Ken Stott this time - but with the just-as-yummy Marc Warren. Didn't enjoy it quite so much as previous ones, but I think your gritty detectives are always better played by Scots... Think about it - Taggart, Cracker, Red Metcalfe (Ken Stott's copper) and Mike Walker (David Hayman) from "Trial & Retribution" are surely 4 of the best cops on telly (okay, Cracker's not strictly a copper, but still...). *

* Yes, the fact that I fancy 3 of those 4 may cloud my judgement just a teensy tiny bit, I guess....

Tuesday was at my Counsellor after work... She's given me a book that we're going to work through now - "Mind Over Mood" - which is part of this cognitive behaviour therapy or whatever it's called. So now I get homework from her as well!

I was a doofus on Tuesday and Wednesday night too... Tuesday night I put on the heater when I came home, but the place just didn't warm up any. Wednesday night, I turned on the heater, and turned it up a bit - and noticed with shock that there was no heat at all coming out of it! I cursed my boss up hill and down dale for buying cheap shit heaters, and sent him a text complaining that it had stopped working after only a few months and that I'd be bringing the damn thing back the next day!

Well, Thursday morning I went to unplug the heater... only to discover that the plug was about 4mm out of the socket! Then I remembered - when I came home on Tuesday night, I'd been going through to the kitchen, and I'd tripped over the cable... and it must have pulled it out just far enough to cut the power! I pushed the plug in again, and was met with a blast of hot air! So I had to go to work and confess my dingusity to my boss!

So, what else has happened this week? Not a lot really... just work, college, bad weather, and the usual shit.

Working tomorrow from 8am (yuk), and I'm all on my own up at the office.

Well, I guess that's about it, so I'll end now coz my brother's coming to get me soon to go shopping - and then I'm going down to his for haggis and clapshot... Yummy!

Probably see you the morn at some stage!

It's Thursday (But Only Just)

Yes, I'm cheating slightly... I'm not sure if I'm going to be online at all tomorrow since I'm likely to be stuck in the shop all day, then home to sorting out more of Mum & Dad's stuff with my pet Home Support Workers and, by the time that's done at the back of 8pm, then I'll still have my tea to find, and if I remember rightly, there's an episode of "Trial & Retribution" on tomorrow night that I want to see (Yes, Viki... I will be lusting over Scarguyonce again - but at least it's not AP!). So I'm planting Thursday's posts now, so I don't have to do them on Friday and backdate them.

Not that there's that much to tell you about Tuesday and Wednesday... just working (Tuesday started off at the office, then down to the shop - and Wednesday (I'm fighting the urge to say "Today" because I've not been to bed yet) was down at the shop, up at the office for about an hour & a half (taking my lunch with me) and then back down at the shop). Can't tell you why, but I can't wait until this month is over (and it's already over halfway through - Christmas seems like so long ago now).

And that's really about it.

Oh, Nev... Just in case you don't read my reply comment - Yes, that was the Sarah Greene I was talking about on Monday!

And "Hello!" to Julie - How are you, m'dear? I hardly seem to have time to plant PMs for you these days since I'm hardly ever at the office. Big hugs m'hunny, and I hope you're keeping that boss of yours (and that man of yours) on his (their) toes!

And Cheeky - where the heck have you disappeared to again? And Freddie... no news on those new grandbabies of yours yet?

Shallow Al

Two for you tonight, and two of perhaps my more "unconventional" choices - and 2 of my Scottish choices, because a reasonable number on my list are from north o' the border. It must be something in the water up here (and also, the Scottish accent - especially Glasgow / Edinburgh area - can be really sexy).

First up, Glaswegian actor David Hayman, who plays Chief Supt Mike Walker in the "Trial & Retribution" series of dramas... I don't know what it is about him - maybe it's the scar...

And then Ken Stott, from Edinburgh this time. He plays DCI Red Metcalfe in the "Messiah" series, and took over from John Hannah to play "Rebus" in 2006.

I first saw Ken Stott back in about 1991 in "Taking Over The Asylum", a BBC Scotland drama he did with current Doctor Who, David Tennant (who will also be making an appearance in this shameful display of sexism).

See... I told you some of my choices were... less than obvious...
