I had to mention this episode briefly because I fear it's going to get a bad rap and I actually loved the whole thing. I thought it was very tender, and quietly funny in places other than the obvious laughs. I think the pacing will put a lot of people off, but I enjoyed it through and through.

Taking Friday off turned out to be an excellent idea because apparently getting up before 5am every day was getting to me - that, plus the cold, ensured I slept until 11.30am. Much-needed, I guess, though it did throw the day somewhat, and that type of thing makes me irrationally anxious.

The past two days have been all about Wire in the Blood which I feel was an excellent decision. a) because it is fabulous and I hadn't realised quite how much I miss it, and b) because I keep overreacting to people's offhand comments with overwhelming irritation. I don't know; the heat makes me prickly. Plus: hormones.

This morning my two elder cousin brothers turned up with a sofa set that one of them needs to store somewhere for a while. This resulted in much hilarity. I love my cousin brothers. I talk about them less than my cousin sisters because the relationships are different, and the boys are older, but they are badass. Had a hilarious late breakfast with them.

Before that I took a hot shower in humid weather and promptly fell victim to my body's out-of-control broken thermostat. I spent about 45 minutes wishing death on myself, wondering why I felt like hell. That was fucking atrocious, let me tell you. Horrible.

Re-watched Alice in Wonderland last night. I still like it, hurrah! Mostly I adore Bonham-Carter's Red Queen. "Hello...Miwana." lol.

Another damn driving lesson tomorrow. Ugh, whatever. And then back to a full working week on Monday.

I'm so glad you liked the Doctor Who episode, because if you hadn't, well, I'm just not sure how we could ever speak again! (Note: I am being stupid. But I did think it was a fantastic episode, and almost certainly my favourite of the series so far)

I'm sorry you haven't been feeling great. Sadface! It seems this week has been kicking everybody's ass on its way out.

I LOVED IT SOPH. Rain on my face.

I am already over anyone who felt otherwise, basically.

IF PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THIS EPISODE OF DOCTOR WHO, I WANT TO NEVER SPEAK TO THEM AGAIN. END OF.

I also loved this episode of Doctor Who; having my favourite museum in it obviously helps, but the portrayal of van Gogh and The Doctor's explanation to Amy at the end about how good and bad things don't cancel each other out are wonderful. The way that The Doctor hasn't forgotten Rory while Amy has is breaking my heart. Plus: Bill Nighy! :-) Excellent, excellent episode and the fact that this show does these as well as the ridiculous, the laugh-out-loud funny, the scary and the exciting makes me love it all the more and proud to be a British television license payer.

Yay Wire in the Blood caps! I'd forgotten how amazing Hermione Norris looked with that short hair. Must rewatch soon!

Glad to hear you got some sleep. :D

Ngl, she's hot. And she has these curious affectations that are so Carol. She's lovely, oh gosh.
