anne_l_davies move a crapload of her stuff over to her new house. It is a lovely house, somewhat reminiscent of a dollshouse in that it is wider than it is deep, most of the rooms go the length of the house and the staircase is in the middle. If it was detached and in the middle of a field it would quite possibly be a dream house. Apart from all the filth. But that aside, it's lovely.
My plan for the day was to maybe do a little shopping and then proceed to the Paggawake in town; this was not to be as I was awoken at 11am[1] and told that my muscle was required.
Yes, dear reader, at this I laughed sharply also.
Anyway, we were still lifting heavy objects an hour and a half after Paggawake began, at which point we proceeded home for Doctor Who, and after watching that and the DW Confidential followup programme I rangkardrath to find that Paggawake was now dispersing. Apparently they had all been waiting for me and could no longer stand to be in the same room without my august presence. This last is conjecture.
So it's 11pm on a Saturday and I find myself alone at home (Anne andpaulgregory having gone to buy a bed for the house, take the bed to the house and sleep in the bed in the house). I am considering getting the tram up to zheers' house for the Rocky Horror afterparty at midnight.
(I do not do Rocky Horror on the principle that it is boil-in-the-bag perversion for sexually repressed accountants and first-year drama students with too many posters of Betty Blue, The Blues Brothers, Big Blue and Blue Velvet on their blue bloody walls, which is a quote that I am determined to memorise.)
ps, Doctor Who was nicely made and well-acted, but a bit cheesy and certain of the plot points felt a bit like fanfic. The trouble with having a near-Doctorless Doctor Who story is that popping in at the end really isn't the way he works ... striding up and down in front of the TARDIS feels a bit weak and, at the same time, cliche. Nice idea, shame about the execution. Still, much of the rest of the episode was excellent (I particularly liked the opening sequence), and in some respects the main chracter's "self-insert" tendencies could easily be because it is, after all, his own retelling of events after the fact. Naturally you'd make yourself the hero...
[1] Actually I was already awake but lying in bed like a sloth. Though, that said, I could not say for certain that sloths have beds.

I would not be at all surprised if sloths everywhere were jealously plotting your downfall even as we speak*.
