Now in my tum

Only right and proper

My dinner was a large bowl of lamb scouse, originally cooked in late January - it was frozen on the 28th, if my hastily-scrawled label is to be trusted. Very nice, it was

Crap.

Ebay account has been deleted.

And I never got the email saying they were going to do it because it got sent to my defunct ntl email address.

Ho hum.

It was last used in 2008.

Bit like my RS Components account.

That was gone when I tried to use it again too.

steak, brocoli, new potatoes & pear cider. Followed by the neighbor's lemon drizzle cake.

A reward for putting in 4 fence posts 9 metres of close board fencing.

Mrs V has crashed with mini V. So I should be able to actually watch a movie without interruption

Bit of a bugger. It's not as if they can't afford the few bytes it takes to keep it sitting there while it's dormant

I've been watching Flood, which was apparently a big special thing on ITV about ten years ago - a miniseries about London getting hit by a massive storm surge that overwhelms the Thames Barrier, starring Robert Carlisle among others. I'd never heard of it, but somehow found it via a chain of "also bought" links on Amazon, and as it was pretty cheap I got it on the off chance.

It's really rather good. There's a few bits involving people who are supposed to be scientists (or engineers or technologists) yet act towards clearly established facts and events in ways that no such person would be likely to; there's some nonsense with the hero and heroine being swept around in the Thames which is ludicrously impossible; and of course, as it was aimed at a mass audience, it's a bit heavy on the human interest stories. But most of the science and engineering is presented in reasonably convincing terms, and the special effects are quite excellent for their time, or even for now.

The Blu-ray has both the original miniseries and the feature film version cut from it. I've been watching the miniseries, as that's quite a bit longer than the film - 3¼ hours. I'm about halfway through, and I've just hit what was clearly the break between the two halves of the original broadcast, so I've stopped there as I need to drive to London first thing tomorrow. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of it when I get back
