This weekend I…

• watched Have I Got News For You and Jonathon Woss
• watched half of Barton Fink (before I got too tired)
• picked Neil up after his office Christmas night out (the day after!)
• had ‘tea’ (as in the meal between lunch and dinner) at Frankie & Benny’s
• watched a bunch of bad/silly/rerun crime drama
• did the weekly shop at Asda
• bought a load of Christmas presents (finally convinced Neil that working in the city centre — as he does — does not make him more likely to buy Christmas presents on time)
• checked out furniture and white goods at some trading estate near Uddingston (thrilling)
• cried a bit at the end of Cranford (the BBC is heartbreakingly good at period drama based on novels)
• cried at the end of Once Upon a Time in England (this book is as excellent as The Poison That Fascinates, but in a wholly different way; put both of these on pre-order now!)
