The order for the new specs has been sent and it'll take about a week. The frames she ordered in, purportedly "burgundy" is closer to brown but you can see a bit of red in the right light. Actually not that much different from the colour of my current frames. I liked them anyway, and got the order sorted so that i'll have two of the same frames, one brownish, one dark blue which will be the reading glasses. They didn't do 2 for 1 on the "economy" lenses but they did do 2 pair for $255 with cost of the lenses included. That plus the coating less the bit that the insurance will pay is costing me $250 for the two pair total. Not so bad really. In the end, doing it this way, only saved me about 30 or 40 dollars but one pair now has a scratch guarantee for a year and the other for 2 years. I really do like these frames better than the other ones i had picked out anyway.
In the news, really bad forest fire just outside of the city all weekend. I think it's mostly contained now but they had helicopters and water bomber planes in from Newfoundland and New Brunswick as well as local. There was another fire on the other side of the city as well at the same time but not as bad. Really high winds on Friday didn't help. The smoke was billowing and visible for miles. As far as i know, only two homes were destroyed, one of which was a business or that might have been in addition to. They evacuated thousands from the area and closed the highways through as the chopper was using it for a landing pad. Luckily there is a very large lake in the area for refills. Unluckily our weekend was not rainy. No loss of life that i know of. Nasty stuff, though.
A 12 year old girl was found dead in Bridgewater over the winter (town about an hour and a half drive away). Over the weekend they charged her mother with first degree murder!
Doctor Who was better than i expected on the weekend. Seemed a bit far fetched to see that same clip of Rose on one of the monitors miming 'DOCTOR', though. Also wondered about the Skye character screaming about the "being" coming for her, "she said she'd get me" yet that was never gone into. Was her ex a monster? Her fear reaction really seemed over the top. The ramping up of the group mob mentality had "Lord of the Flies" running through my head over and over. It was, however, pretty gripping seeing the Doctor completely out of control and yet aware of what was happening and terrified. That's something you don't usually see. Trailers for next week are showing something on Donna's back and there have been rumours that she's not going to survive in the end. There was also the statement that the Doctor was dead and a hand dropping the screwdriver from under the covers on the stretcher. I am wondering if the Doctor's consciousness is just out of body or something. I had heard or read a spoiler that says he's lost in time. Besides, if he were "dead" he'd regenerate unless there was something extraordinary going on like his essence locked out somewhere. I am wondering if he'll even get to actually see Rose or if she'll disappear again before he makes it back in one piece and we won't actually see them reunited or is Rose going to return as companion? If Donna dies, he's going to need a new one. I really liked her, too.
