I'd thought of going out today, possibly to the cinema (The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Illusionist looking interesting), certainly to Biblo, but my calves this morning were twitchy so taking it easy seemed sensible since tomorrow I am taking my mother to the optician. I'll need a decent sleep tonight too, I think. I have plenty to keep myself amused, anyway.

Fairly random thoughts:

1) I wish there would be a box set release of the Yellow Bird Wallander series. It is so good... so good, actually, I have still not watched the recordings of the BBC series. It's not logical, but I'm so used to Krister Henriksson in the role...

2) Have you seen any of the old programmes being repeated on Yesterday? Some of them look as though they are being broadcast from VHS tapes. Seriously, look at blocks of red on the screen — or what should be blocks of red.

3) It would probably not be good for me, but I have this urge to order pizza. NOT going to, though. Really not going to.

4) Did you know you can get ground coffee from Amazon?

5) Not going to talk about the Labour leadership contest, it is too depressing.

6) So is the popping up of Tony Blair again, but this article is worth reading: Fisking Blair's chapter on Iraq.

7) Caledonia Books (Gt. Western Rd.) has had an influx of SF books recently. Admittedly some of us have had a damn good pick through them for the choice bits, but still worth checking out.

Not going to order pizza. No, definitely not.

Nice.

I know there are are places you can order coffee online, but it surprised me Amazon had any — not somethin I would have thought of looking for there.

I really like the realcoffee stuff - it looks expensive, but they sell big packs.

I had a look around Amazon when they first started doing grocery type things but Roast + Post are ace, and wonderful customer service too.

I'd hate to tell you how quickly I could demolish one of those big bags. :) I looked at the beans I would probably get and I can get them in town slightly cheaper, but not much. If I get lazy, I may well make use of them; although, there is also Higgins's to consider, they are an excellent coffee house. (You could check them out some time, they are near Bond St. station.)

I buy several bags at once, to get the discount, and keep most of them in the freezer. One bag lasts me about a week if I'm at home mostly - that's one or two pots of coffee per day.

If I drink the real stuff that's about what I get through :-)

The housemate gets Marmite from Amazon. And tea. This is really an age of laziness, corporate as much as customer. The local stores can't be bothered to stock all the flavours of her favourite tea, or Marmite.

Well, Marmite is close to being a chemical weapon, so it's not all bad. :)
