Spent most of this morning with an edgy feeling that I had perhaps forgotten something, which manifested in a realisation that I had a bill to pay today. I do wonder how the brain works at times. I continue with my quest to get my "media Library" organised, and the 2TB hard drive that I purchased recently is slowly filling up with lots of good stuff. We are not really what I would describe as discerning TV and Film watchers, but the girls have the tendency to switch on and veg. This was one of the reasons for the upgrade of TV. We thought that if we had access to more digital content that we might persuade them to watch things of a little more quality. So far it appears to have worked. I would much rather youngest sat and watched an episode of Blackadder than some vapid committee written Disney sitcom that always has a moral. We watched the first episode of Game of Thrones last night, and really quite enjoyed it. It's a fantasy type show along the lines of Lord of the Rings, but so far without goblins and with the addition of nudity. So far so good! It comes from the Sky Atlantic stable, which seems to have quite a lot of good quality content on it. I will be starting a new after school club on a Thursday next half term. This means that for a while at least I will be starting drama at 3.30 and finishing at 10.30 on a Thursday. This will of course be after a day of prep work as well. This is not, dear reader, a complaint, merely an outburst of mild panic that I may have taken on too much! I shall be spending some time tomorrow looking for a cheap low end Tower PC to replace my flakey laptop. It will have no bells and whistles, and will cause me a headache whilst I click on all the "No Thank you" buttons during the build. I will then panic that I have spent too much money, even though without it, work will be difficult. I am delighted with the iPad, but it is not quite there yet if it wants to replace PCs completely. We are being visited by my Ma and Pa in law tomorrow, which I always enjoy, and then seeing most of the family on Saturday for a birthday celebration. It will be good to spend time with a pleasant family. Talking of which, I received another demanding phone call from Aunt last night, who is apparently ill again. It was a voicemail, so I have ignored it.
