A post of many things

There are no rugby matches today. Woe. So tonight will probably be Holby catch-up. And apparently all the American shows are premiering this week. I think that I'm going to stick with just the five that I've kept from last year and not worry about new stuff, unless someone tells me about something amazing. Between those, Netflix (which now has the whole of Stargate, Xena and various other cool TV shows thanks to a recent content update, yay!), UK telly and my DVD collection, I think that I'm sorted.
I just have to schedule in some time this week between rugby matches for Spooks. And get Mum out of the house for the Gray's Anatomy premier. Too much telly, not enough time!
In book news, I am continuing with Perdito Street Station. I'm enjoying it, but it's quite weird in places and my excellent imagination is rather too good at conjuring up disturbing images from the vivid descriptions. SO, er, it's not a pre-bed read and thus is going a bit slowly. I'm now reading Northanger Abbey and loving that to bits. It's my first time and, while it doesn't have the subtlety of Austen's later books (this is thought to be her first written novel, although it was published much later), it is very entertaining and a great read.
Mum and I watched the Strictly launch show over the weekend (a week late, I know). I can feel my brain atrophying. But it was darned fun. I'm trying to work out when I became a Strictly/Gray's/Holby sort of person. I'm sure that I used to disdain such viewing...
