Dr.Who

Sunday, day of rest and recuperation. Just as well, the weather was rain, rain, rain, sunshine, hail. Still preferable to me than the 29 degrees of last Monday and Tuesday. Austen and Sue made a fantastic traditional roast Sunday lunch, with Austen achieving the near impossible of perfect pork crackling. Who says the British can't cook? Oh that's right, it's me usually.

Austen had recorded some episodes of the second series of the new Dr. Who for us, which I guess we should be getting soon in Canada. The new doctor is superb. Oddly, the whole thing about different actors playing the same part had been something that had been occupying me recently and it has certainly been an interesting journey in the whole saga of Dr. Who. The first series of the new and updated Doc starred Christopher Ecclestone, one of Britain's finest actors, and he was good, very good, but was only up for one series. The new doctor, David Tennant, plays the character quite differently, but also superbly. Definately something to look forward to.

Today we are off to Edinburgh, so back to Heathrow, terminal 1 is the least inspiring although I've never had any occasion to view terminal 2 up close and personal. The next few days will be a bit of a rollercoaster ride, back down to London on Wednesday, queueing at the Canadian High Commission on Thursday and then off to the sunny south coast that evening. I mention all this in advance because I have no idea if or when we might get any internet connectivity over the next few days.
