ooops

gah - mowing the lawns before 9am seemed like a good idea BEFORE I did it!

Well, a shower's in order, followed by drawing comics (maybe) and lots of TV

Dr. Z

I just watched Doctor Zhivago on GEM. It ran (with commercials) for about 4 hours.

The weird thing is that I remember a different film. Wasn't there a scene where they're in a carriage being chased by wolves (to mention at least one scene that wasn't in it)? Time and memory I guess. Bits of it are rather odd - There's a scene where we never see a character who is talking to the title character, and another scene where his half-brother is doing a voice over explaining what was said, while what was said is actually muted. Also, while all the newspapers and banners appear to be in Russian, Dr Z starts writing his famous poems in English. How odd.

Anyway, it's main purpose was to give me a focus while I do nothing much at all, and in that it succeeded. I miss the "Saturday Afternoon" epic which one would watch in the background while one was doing something else. The digital channels seem to be reviving that. Certainly while I've been feeling off, and my hands and fingers feel stiff and bloated (rheumatism I think), it's a bit of a blessing.
