Cold showers and false alarms

Off we went for our usual Sunday morning swim at the Fairmont St Andrews. The pool was fine, but changing afterwards was less pleasant, as there wasn’t any hot water. At their best the showers were on the chilly side of tepid. And then the alarms went off, and we were told to evacuate the building, which meant that I got dried and dressed somewhat faster than usual. Of course it was a false alarm; I didn’t even make it outside before we were told to ignore it.

Not quite as relaxing as our usual Sunday mornings, but lunch at Andrew’s made up for it.

A heavy shower early this morning cleared the air, and now it is bright outside, but somewhat cooler than yesterday. Kate is planning to help Andrew In his garden this afternoon, while I have paperwork to sort for this quarter’s VAT return.

Beth and Dr Who

While we were getting ready for the BBQ yesterday, Beth watched several old Dr Who DVDs: Full Circle (a particular favourite of hers), A Girl’s Best Friend (which sort-of counts as Dr Who, and is watched a lot), and Arc of Infinity. When I asked her what she had watched, she couldn’t remember the title of the last one, and described it as a Gallifrey story, so I rattled through a few Gallifrey-based stories but didn’t get it. I asked her what happened in the plot, and she said that she couldn’t describe it, which is probably fair for Arc of Infinity.

Today she watched Horror of Fang Rock, which is one of my bestest favouritest Dr Who stories. It was hard to tear myself away to go and do my paperwork.
