Dear reader George mentioned ordering things from amazon.fr that were returned to amazon without being delivered. This is a huge problem that they don't seem willing to address - packages that are shipped via standard mail somehow get diverted to the UK and then sent back to France. It's ridiculous. Occasionally things get through, but more often than not, they don't. There's only one way around it and unfortunately that way costs more. If you choose either of the global shipping options - really fast, or slightly less fast, you get your stuff without any problem. The faster of the global shipping is hugely expensive, but the second fastest option is much less money and, for example, my Umbrellas of Cherbourg still arrived in two days.
And the word of the day is: TENUITY!
The once or twice I've ordered from Amazon France, there was no problem receiving the goods. But it just happens that I hesitated and almost chose that middle option yesterday...and then didn't. I really would like to have Umbrellas ASAP, too. Merde!
I wonder if I can change it now. I'll try.
Today the 50th Anniversary broadcast of Doctor Who is being broadcast and depending where you are in the world you will be seeing it at the same time as everyone else. So people in Australia will be seeing it tomorrow while we are seeing it today in North America.
Looking forward to see An Adventure in time and space.
I had the good fortune of meeting Waris Hussein who directed the very first Doctor Who episode. We chatted about the movie he was working on which I had been working on as an extra and then about the Doctor. The next day gave me something extra to do in the film and I got to work with Angela Lansbury because of it.

Anybody else watch Super Fun Night with Rebel Wilson? I had to laugh when they said she was from Tonawanda, New York ( a suburb of Buffalo). I'm enjoying the show.
I'm feeling quiet today. A dog I loved died from bloat last night :(
It will be on their calendar as soon as they get their art. I don't profess to know and frankly I don't care how they do things - I can't figure any of it out and I just roll along - they have a subscription base of over 2500 people and we'll be sold out for the entire run just from them. Any of my folks who need to see it will be fine - I'll do those arrangements.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Jane.

Mine is already "En préparation pour expédition," so it's too late for me to change it.
Interesting to see that a half century ago, we lost JFK; the Brits bore The Doctor and 007. Quite the year then, wasn't it?
Now, I'm going to record to my DVD burner the "Doctor Who 50th Live Pre-Show" show. I didn't get my DVD burner set up in time to record it to that as I was watching it. I did get it recorded to my DVR, so there was no problem there. I do have to say that the pre-show show was not too exciting or interesting, but I'll keep it. ::)
Did anyone else watch it? It's going to be rebroadcast quite a bit, I'm sure.

Time for Brady Hoke to move on...
I saw Cillaliz's commercial(s). Very well done, Cilla! Brief, professional, and direct. YOu sound VERY fluent in Spanish.

You know, if we were down (heaven forbid) my inbox would be filled with people saying they couldn't get on. But we're not down (thank heaven) and no one can be bothered to be here? Wow.
This morning it was only 40 degrees in the laundry room. I had already put plastic on the window and door so I spent the day trying to seal it up even better. We'll see if it worked

That's about the high here today. I was not happy. But I'm glad I didn't go to the Panhandle, because that's where Willie Nelson's band's bus had an accident that was said to have been caused by ice. Yuck.

Oh it was only about 15 today outside. My laundry room is an add on room and it isn't insulated very well. So every year I battle with keeping it warm. It's also not on the main furnace but has a small heater built into a cabinet. I'm thinking about checking on getting a better heater out there, but I can't really afford that right now
Vibes for VIXMOM!!!
I ate earlier today not knowing that my parents were expecting me for dinner. ::) So, I really didn't eat too much. When I left after losing at Scrabble, I actually went to a local IHOP and had quesadillas and a layered crepe cake. It was all pretty good and not too much. :)

I'm addicted to Word Battle on Facebook.
I think maybe it's rested long enough....time to eat a piece of pie!
Just checking my e-mails before passing out. A friend just sent me this story.

Hope you didn't leave because you lost at Scrabble ;)
Then I sort of watch the new TV series Atlantis.
It's sort of like the Adventures of Hercules with Kevin Sarbo (sp?)
There was Jason (as in Jason and the Argonauts perhaps?) there was Pythagoras (the triangle guy) and Hercules portrayed as an overweight, boozing, egotistical wannabe hero.
