A Rest

[Friday 28th September]
One of our visitors from the US office left London today, and the other already had plans, so tonight I was relieved of any entertaining obligations, and decided to just go home and have a complete rest. I basically slobbed out on the sofa, and watched a few TV shows I had recorded recently.

Included in the lineup where a couple of epsidoes of Heroes - which, despite my usual aversion to any kind of hyped TV program - I actually quite like. Especially as my EyeTV means I don't have to remember when it is on or anything.

I also watched an episode of Ripping Yarns - a somewhat obscure show put together by Michael Palin and Terry Jones after they finished that final TV series of Python. The particular episode I watched was "Across the Andes by Frog". It was a bit like a Python sketch expanded out to a full half hour show, whilst it probably doesn't have much to recommend itself as a standalone show, die hard Python nerds like me will probably find it enjoyable, if only out of sheer bloody mindedness.

Ripping Yarns.. Classic Stuff John..
I remember the one of the victorian family, where the mother had knitted a garment that covered the whole body to keep her daughers virtue.. Ace.
