Right, I think I have the Dutch stuff out of my system now. Though I could talk about the elections. No, the government hasn't collapsed again, this was for the water boards. But I'll spare you.

Since coming back from a week in NL, I've been busier than ever. Entire Saturdays are getting swallowed up too. First Saturday: the very worthwhile London Amnesty conference, a night run in the cold where I scored two vandals (and completely failed to get stabbed), and a birthday party. Second Saturday: volunteered at a very busy Amnesty book sale and then went for celebration drinks.

After rolling in at 4am, all I was capable of doing the first Sunday was watching season three of Heroes. Leo 'n' Jellybean 'n' Elin had all warned that it was bad and/or boring so I wasn't disappointed. Just surprised that a show that good could get that bad. Fingers crossed for season four I guess.

I'm also all caught up on Little Dorrit, the latest of the Dickens serialisations. Apparently, its audience share compares unfavourably to Bleak House but that doesn't surprise me; the makers had much less to work with. The TV show inspired me to reread Bleak House, which I'd struggled with the first time, but nothing can induce me to read Little Dorrit again.

ITV is currently doing an Austen week, so next Sunday's viewing is all sorted. :-)
