Watch Time Team

If you're in range of a UK TV at 6pm this (Sunday) evening, I highly recommend "Time Team" on Channel 4. It is from Islip, where my Other Half used to live. They are searching for Edward the Confessor's chapel.

In other news - happy christening, prince_eldarion! And, for the Oxford-based people, how was "Rocky Horror"?

Yesterday's clay pigeon shooting was great fun, and my OH got a very difficult one with her last shot of the day - a gust of wind took the clay at the last moment, but she held her fire, re-adjusted her aim, and got it! (How did you like your session, emperor?) Then onto a quick Italian dinner, a colleague's production of "The King and I" - she was Uncle Thomas in the interspersed ballet. A very enjoyable evening.

Tigers beat Bath, and City drew with Reading. Slightly disappointing performance from our boys in India, though.

Today, chores, possibly a DVD (maybe Hitchcock's "Foreign Correspondent"), *more* emails to catch up on.
