watching:
- the last three episodes of Blackadder the Third
- Water like Chocolate, a Mexican film that came free with a weekend paper.

listening to:
- Radio 4 as background
- in a moment, a compliation tape, "Top Gear".

doing:
- having the plumber round, to tell us that he needs to order a new part for the shower, and will be round again in a few days to install it (I didn't have a shower in the house for the first 25 years of my life, and never missed it; but it's a necessity now!)
- having the builder round, to look at re-vamping our loft / study; we're looking forward to having it done, but not the disruption while it is done
- sorting out clothes, with piles for charity shop, storage, and current wardrobe / drawers
- and when I get round to it, more on Best of Amon Hen (coming soon to a bookshop near you! - well, soon-ish, anyway).

Is the beautiful dog in your icon an ex-racing greyhound?

One of my friends has one. He's one of the lovliest dogs I've ever met. He is a very happy dog. My friend owns a shop and he spends all day there either sleeping or watching what is going on, as well as getting a lot of attention.

Yes, that is my Mollydog. :-) She is an Irish ex-racer. They are lovely dogs.

A cousin of mine keeps ex-racers, and my aunt and uncle are always saying what lovely dogs they are.
