Almost one year on, the frame of Wray Castle's bin store has been clad and a roof put on.

A Welcome Return: Dead Ringers II
On Wednesday 30th July 2014 at 1830 Dead Ringers returned to radio 4, with all the wit, sillyness and funny impersonations of when it first aired; it must have been the late 1990s or early 2000s when Radio 4 first broadcast it, then it stopped for a while: but now its back!
This was the first half-past six Radio 4 comedy that I can remember listening to, and enjoying. I loved the impersonation of Tony Blair, the way he would narrate his appearance as he spoke; and the impersonation of Tom Baker as Doctor Who and the phone calls he made to unsuspecting members of the public.
It is a blast from the past with fresh content in a familiar format, with all the old favourites (and some new); I can hardly wait to listen to the next one.

14.7.14 A curious date, worth marking
... with a drawing. This is my dog Lucky sitting on his bed; he could be looking at his favourite builder walking through the door (the one that feeds him treats).

A Flight of Stairs
A flight of stairs seems the most apt and aspiring collective noun for stairs (and for steps, too). It puts me in mind of ascending into the sky, and flying; which we are always told is something man has always aspired to do.

Rest In Peace lovefilm.com
It seems your days have passed
LOVEFiLM Instant is switching to Amazon Instant Video (or Prime Instant Video) and the rest of the lovefilm.com website seems to have been transfigured into mere services on Amazon's own site: this seems a shame! With this switch, the brand of LOVEFiLM seems to have lost a bit of its value.
Why change the name to Prime Instant Video? it only makes it sound cheaper. After all the service is for film and television. Video is neither: the word video seems a more common word and a less important one than say film. Instead video has connotations of home-made, or some nineties or early twenty-first century extra on a compact disc. Puzzling.
