Dinner eaten
Trying to decide what to watch now. I have a bunch of films I haven't seen, but "which one?" is the question…

I've been getting reasonably early nights (with no ale, even!) quite a lot over the last few weeks - tonight I'm going to treat myself, in advance of spending the weekend making sure I have everything readyOriginally posted by mudskipper View PostEarly night not an option?

I was in a BT exchange at the time, we all stood round the TV mouths open. It was a moment the whole world changed. The same as the Berlin wall, hyde park and before my time JFK.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostThe big telly was the one on which I saw the second plane hitting the WTC just after they cut live to NY on 9-11, and the small telly sat to my side for the rest of the day as I went online using the big monitor, trying to find any additional sources of info, and eventually getting a view of a street being wiped out by the collapse of the south tower through the New York traffic cameras (which were the only webcams still working and online by that time) as I also watched the collapse on the telly.
So they all served me well during that day; but now they're gone to the great recycling facility in the sky, or rather, near the old livestock market

An the neighbours <Deity> bless them, contributed a few hundred for the fence between us. I can afford the back fence now! As well as a the new bathroom, en suite, patios & driveway.

Endless.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostHow's things with you? Much to sort out?
But at least ZeitPater's probate forms have gone in to the court.
At long last.
Took 'em up to ZeitSis last Sunday & she put them in on Monday.Comment

And this evening's viewing was the ep of "Elementary" from yesterday, followed by an ancient (S5) ep of "Castle".
I'm a bit fed up that Castle has been cancelled, but better that than the dire crap that Bones has turned into.
And there's gonna be yet another season of that tosh.Comment

Morning all 
I thought it was Sunday when I woke up.
But it turns out it's not, so I've got a whole extra day.
