Driving me mad
There are some things that drive me mad. Today, for instance, I've been looking for something. Something rather important that I'm going to need in three weeks time, but I can't find it anywhere. I know it's here somewhere, because it's not the sort of thing that gets thrown away, but I just can't think where I might have put it. I ended up getting cross with myself for not keeping the house tidier, but then I didn't actually do anything about it like tidy everything up or anything, I just sat and read for a while, and now I'm cross for not doing what I should done. Then I felt cross with myself for feeling guilty about not doing anything on my day off.
No way out of that one, so I'll just stop thinking about it.
I still haven't found what it is I'm hunting for. Maddeningly!
Not to worry though, there is plenty of time to track it down.
We had a nice weekend. We didn't do a great deal on Saturday except work our way through the Trial of a Time Lord DVD set (which has been fantastic, great set of extras and lovely 5.1 version of the theme that Steve will complain about me listening to more than a few times) and the usual supermarket trip and a driving lesson (and a rather good one I thought). Time that got swallowed up without doing a great deal.
Sunday we went to the Key to Time event in Chiswick. It was great! A lovely intimate convention. Lots of guests, some of whom hadn't been to a convention before, all of whom seemed to be having as wonderful a time as the fans. Very friendly and enjoyable. I don't like to single anyone out, but I have to say it was a joy to meet Susan Engel, who's performance as Vivean Fay I've always loved (and who I managed to confuse greatly by asking for a back to back photo- she thought I was mad... maybe I am!) and June Hudson, the costume designer who's work I've always admired (and celebrated in my Blake's 7 review for The Vervoid and I got a nice little anecdote from her about one costume I love of Servalan's) . I think we'll be going along to their next event too.
Today as I've said I haven't done much. Steve sounds like he's in a miserable mood, so I suppose I'd better cheer myself up a bit so I can deal with that when he gets in. Still the new Sarah Jane Adventures might be enough to cheer him a bit. I hope so. I don't think I'm in the mood for dealing with it all tonight.
