It has been a fine sunny mild day but restrained by very blustery winds. Hence the temperature was not much above the mid-teens (14 C).

For dinner, I was going to have another cottage pie but had a beef stew with cheese instead.




It was very filling and washed down with a beer.

Tonight it is quiz night with television shows and radio shows.

Another really sunny day again,and perhaps the last day of the good weather.I just did a mystery shop done by the phone,noneed to goout and do it.However,i will be popping into town as i have a a package to post from a book i sold on Ebay.

I have been watching the updated series on BBC - Civilations - it is how art has been perceived across the centuries and different civilisations from ancient Greece and Egypt to the modern diaspora.

I finished the sries yesterday, as it been on iPlayer for ahwile,and the nextarts programme i will be watching is Art of Germany.

I will be heading Ashford way tomorrow.

Well,it’s back to the overcast indifferent day weather wise. I was going to go over to Sheerness but never got round to it, and i guess that is due to the fact that i overslept and decided i was in no rush to get over there - i still have up to the end of the month to complete the visit.

I got so wrapped up listening to the radio anyway. There was a fascinating selection of programmes on air either on Radio 4 or 4 Extra.

I have been watching episodes of A Town Called Eureka as the whole set of five seasons is available on Amazon Prime.It is still one of the best quirky science fiction tv series on the telly.

Next week my normal regime of Supergirl, The Flash,And Legends will kick in. These series are back from the winter break.Bloody hell, where will i get the time to watch them all.

The rest of the day has been spent listening to the radio, or reading ,or listening to music. I am thinking of watching the Beasts film tonight and if not it will be back to watching more DVD's of Babylon 5 from season 4.

There are two other films i want to see - Arrival , and A Street Cat  Named Bob Film.




A Street Cat Named Bob  movie trailer

So Sarah Michelle Geller is going to star in a Cruel Intentions TV series and resuming her role as Kathryn. i wonder if this is a good move for her.

Meanwhile the ending of the original 1999 film with the music of The Verve "Bittersweet Symphony" in the background.

Had a nice cup of breakfast tea this morning and then listened to Radio 4 about the core of the Earth, the core of the universe and the core of stellar formation which was fascinating.

After lunch i had some Xmas pudding whilst cousin was around his girlfriend's place and her kids having their Xmas dinner. I was listening to some jazz of course, and nursing this cold with a hot toddy, that is a whisky based one. Then later on, cheese and biscuits with some Taylor's port.

Last night i watched the Doctor Who Xmas special which i thought was quite entertaining and then a few couple of episodes from Agents of SHIELD second season, which i have seen before, and completely finished watching the fifth season of True Blood.

Today i might just watch some episodes of Charmed or complete that seventh season of Buffy again. For now i will do some reading.

Meanwhile i have been watching these two links to Shannen Doherty's FB page and her family dinging - with a few quick scenes of the beauty that is formerly known as Prue halliwell.

I am definitely looking forward to this -

Last night i watched the full Farscape - The Peacekeeper Wars on You Tube, the 2004 film after the end of the TV series. Now i have read an article going back to Feb. of this year that there could be a possible come back for the series featuring the son of Chrichton and Aeryn Sun. I do not hold much hope but secretly wishing that it would come to fruition. I loved that show. Link here -

Hopefully.

They are repeating the classic Bob Peck nuclear waste drama The Edge Of Darkness on BBC 4 and the first episode was this evening.

It is a classic 1980s conspiracy thriller set in a world of obsessive state security and political power play. Ronald Craven, a Yorkshire policeman is investigating a union election scandal when his daughter, Emma, is shot and killed in front of him. Learning of his daughter's involvement in an ecological group and absolutely determined to trace her killer

It got quite dark at tea time after being a sunny day. We had some rain but i didn't hear any thunder. That might still happen.

I have been catching up with the last two episodes of The Big Bang Theory , stumbled over some conundrums in Only Connect, and puzzled over the connections in the Round Britain Quiz  on BBC Radio 4.

Some of the connections in Only Connect were fiendish except for the physical constants which followed a pattern of  E F G and H  I got Planck's constant correct , as all these are the four fundamental constants of nature.  The others are the elementary charge (E) , the Faraday constant { the magnitude of electric charge per mole of electrons }  and the Gravitational constant.

There was a music link in the radio quiz which i deduced correctly as having the name Howard linked to them , such as Howard Goodall (Vicar Of Dibley theme )  and Howard Shore (Lord Of The Rings composer) and the other Howard being Catherine Howard (fifth wife of Henry VIII).

OK, now my brain hurts so off to bed.
