Visited the Fortingall Yew yesterday in Glen Lyon, Perthshire. It's thought to be around 5000 years old, having been visitied by prehistoric man, Romans, Scots, Picts, and by me.

This is a fascinating academic study of a 3500 year old suit of bronze armour, as would have been worn in the Trojan war.

Watching old Dr Who in no particular order. First up was Pyramids of Mars, now the Stones of Blood, then it'll be Horror of Fang Rock. Gah...these episodes are almost 50 years old!

So far... We once had one going off for two weeks before the police had it towed away. Presumably under threat of somebody blowing it up.

Noo, you dip the end of the sandwich it in, then stuff it in your face before that thick gravy drips everywhere. But yes, napkins necessary, and wet wipes for your hands after are strongly advised.

I really loved Harrow County. I loved the artwork and all those very inhuman characters showed heaps of emotion.

The book is definitely not always better - The Iron Giant for example. The LoTR movies were truly excellent, and cut out a lot of slow pacing issues I had with the books.
