Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

*happy sighs*

First of all, it was a Saturday. I can't even begin to list the catastrophes that would have to occur for this to NOT be my favourite day of the week, every week.

Secondly, I went to see Aunty Eve. She looks MUCH better, was clearly feeling more like herself. The news from her doctor's isn't good, they're saying her kidneys aren't working properly, they don't know why. It could well just be "old age". However, they've not dragged her to the hospital or anything, simply taken another blood test. So hopefully it's not something too serious *touches wood* It was just good to see her looking and sounding chirpier. We had a nice lunch at our usual pub, and a snooze and a chat when we got back. And bless her, she surprised me by giving me an Easter Egg! Aww :) Mmm Cadburys

I then headed over to see the Harold Hill Mob :) As usual, my timing was impeccable - the kettle had just boiled, and itsjustaname was busy making a treacle tart. Glee! Hugs were exchanged with the lovely cookwitch, there was tea and happy yakking, and then there was a treacle tart! Hurrah!

Got home in time to watch the new episode of Dr Who - very good, I liked it a lot. Much to my distress and in defiance of my long held opinion, Billie Piper proved she can act. Dammit. Now what I can moan about? Oh hang on, she's still annoying. Phew! Tennant is terrific as the doctor and I'm really liking how this Doctor's character is developing. Kudos to the makeup department, too, for the kitty cat make up. Very good, very convincing and made up for the ropey CGI landscape shots at the start of the episode.

Also watched a new episode of NCIS - I do like this show, it's grown on me really fast. Oh hey itsjustaname? Check this out: *eg*

Cooked some pork loin steaks for tea, that have been marinating in my fridge for over 24 hours. They were dee-licious!

And now I have tea, Match of the Day and friends on AIM.

And two more days off.
