I'm back home after a weekend of swelteringly hot public transport, a slightly less sweltering car, and seeing people.

Thanks to (a) work being gits, and (b) being knackered, I didn't drive home til Saturday morning, at which point 2 people decided to write off Puntos on the M6. Jolly good fun. Still managed to get home, avoiding the worst of the Silverstome and Milton Keynes Bowl queues, dropped off my hoover with the traditional cry of "Daddy Fix", and went to find kitty_goth in Camden. Which was *relatively* quiet, if (and I never thought I'd say this) Too Hot To Shop. Still, I've had a pint in the Dev, which almost makes me a real goth. Getting overexcited about finding the video to "Perfect Strangers" (a rock video, with no scantily-clad women. Who'd have thought it?) on YouTube negates most of it, though :)

Met many other crazy cat ladies & knitters, including miss_newham again (very scary LJ friends overlaps), watched Doctor Who (disappointing but still pretty good), went to Antilight (great place, minimal bleep and decent aircon) and had All The Food In The World in the park :) Failed to meet up with Sister because her hangover was too bad for the tube.

Hitchin had its first rain since the hosepipe ban last night, because I washed my car. Bah. Found an old Top Gear on Sky and remembered just how much I want a TVR Griffith. Was quite horrified at how much James May's aged over the last three years.

The cats haven't eaten the furniture (or been sick anywhere visible, which is a nice change).


ETA: Found the catpuke! All is right with the world!

James May's aged over the last three years.

Oh, it's all downhill fast from 42. I should show you some pics of Ian three years ago.

Nooo! Blokes look best in their late 30s & early 40s! They can't *all* decay as quickly as Alfasuds, can they?

But the graph goes steadily up from 20 to 42, and then hits a sharp decline. It ALWAYS happens. Look at Colin Baker (as we have been doing recently anyway) - his time as the doctor on t'telleh went from 39 to 42 and by the end of Trial of a Timelord he was breathtakingly beautiful. Look at him now.
