I like this. Thanks Eleanor!

So I’m back from Oz – we got back yesterday at 1pm. And I’m gutted. I’ll pop up some other things we did in Sydney once I’ve finished geotagging all my photos, but I’m am not happy to be back. Say no more!

So Jill and I have spent our first week down under, and it’s just been amazing. Read on for more about what we’ve been up to in our first week!

I’m off to Sydney for two weeks! Totally can’t wait even though I won’t get there until Monday morning.

The programme seems to be on series catch-up so will be available on the iPlayer until a week after all six episodes have transmitted. [...]

TV really sucks at the minute for me! Prison Break*, The Wire and The Shield have all finished for good, leaving me with a dearth of season passes on my Tivo. Anyone got any ideas for what could replace them in my televisual viewing? At the moment I’m starting to get into True Blood which [...]
