My Weekend

Busy, busy weekend and quite cultural too! Florence & I both went to see Tasha in Guys & Dolls on Saturday (at different performances) - it was fantastic. Stopped for a chat with a few folks in the bar on Saturday night, Tasha went off to the aftershow party and got in around 4am.

We'd been quite worried about Nate, who'd been really "floppy" on Thursday and and a raging temperature on Friday morning. The doctor diagnosed an ear infection, so he's on some dreadful medicine that makes him retch. We were still up in the night with him when he got distressed, poor little man.

Fortunately, he seemed to have made a good enough recovery by Sunday that we were able to go ahead with our plans to go to the panto at the hippodrome in Birmingham. Big production (apparently the highest grossing panto ever) and it starred Brian Conley - a favourite of Tasha's. Everyone really enjoyed the show especially Florence and Nate.

The weekend was rounded off by the new series of 24 starting, unfortunately I was zapped by the time it started and was in bed for 8pm! I'll catch the re-run on Friday (hopefully)

Is Locke, Ben's brother?

Well thanks a lot Mark!! Not only did you get me back into watching LOST (which I've caught up with now) but you also pointed me to the SKYONE podcast aired after every show. They have now filled my head with theories that I'd not thought of (or never would have), the finest being that Locke is actually Ben's brother. WOW! Episode 6 was great, and as there is a break in episodes (startup again in February), there was a cliff hanger.

Also immediately following LOST was the prequel for 24-Day 6, which got me hooked straight away, you can't beat a bit of Jack getting tortured action. Looks like its going to start on Sundays at 9pm in January - right before LOST when it restarts - that'll be inducive to getting to sleep then!
