non reviewage

Now normally I would do a mini-review of the weekend's rental title today.

However, there was no rental title this weekend. The way my rental account is set up I actually only get 3 DVDs a month and by this weekend I'd watched them all.

Usually, I would take the opportunity to watch something else - perhaps one of my bought DVDs - but as is probably obvious from the gushing posts I've been making about it just recently, the only thing I really watched this weekend was BSG. Indeed, it was a close call for me actually even managing to watch my usual chunk of recorded telly so heavily into BSG was I.

You'll be glad to know that I've started on season 3, but I don't really propose to talk about it again. Trouble is, I'm not really in the frame of mind to post one of my more 'discussion' or 'issue' based posts, so I'm afraid it's going to be more life drivel.

It's been raining quite a bit the last few days. It's also noticeably cooler. I know that not all of the country experienced a heatwave last week, but I for one am glad of the change. It's been so much more pleasant.

Last night I got home to discover my landlord had returned.

This was somewhat earlier than expected. I mentioned the early return to him and he said it was a day earlier than planned, due to the rain nearly washing them out. However, I'm positive that the note he left me said they were going to be away for much, much longer - several more weeks.

But he then indicated they would be going away again very soon. I'm guessing they were either originally planning to roll both breaks into one, or he simply got confused and put the wrong date.

It puts a kibosh on a couple of things I had planned, but nothing spectacular.

The latest megami turned up on Monday.

I could have had it last Friday, but for some reason they left one of those "missed you while you were out" notes. I dunno why they bothered doing that - it fits perfectly easily through the letterbox and doesn't require a signature.

However, one of the good things about TNT, the courier, is you can go online with the note and specifically tell them to leave it on the doorstep (or wherever). I did this on Friday and was hoping they'd deliver it on Saturday (I spent all morning glancing out if the window in the hopes of seeing them) but it was Monday they re-attempted delivery.

I'll hopefully get it scanned this weekend along with some other bits and pieces I need to scan, but the priority is still on getting my website rolling again.
