I’ll tell the story properly tomorrow. Today, after a round trip of about 320 miles into England and back, I’m just a little too tired to do it justice. I don’t enjoy long distance driving anymore, even with Graham by my side to jolly things up. Nevertheless, it was fun.

Last night’s opening into Stargate Atlantis (series 1, programme 1) was a resounding success. It’s a double length episode, so we had to chop it off in midstream–finishing it tonight.
