Daily Post - Tuesday

Incredibly strange and vivid dreams last night - being stalked through a city by giant mechas firing miniguns into buildings and demolishing them, and then playing a game of poker using slices of ham instead of cards. As I said, strange.

I'm set up for my routine of working in the evenings on my OU stuff. I've now got another Lumie light (a smaller one) on the desk in the study to save having to lug the big one up and downstairs. I am on top of work at the moment, but I think that I'd like to do a bit every night to keep the momentum going, even if there is not something specifically scheduled in my timetable.

After thinking I had got rid of it, my cold seems to be back with a vengeance - runny nose, muzzy head, aches and the works. I suppose it's possible that it's a different bug on top of the original one - there certainly seem to be plenty going round at work at the moment. Yuk.

Flash Forward episode three was good last night, dialling back on the soap opera and upping the mystery quotient with the intriguing prospect of paradox loops between the future vision and the present. Plus points for having subtitled German dialogue rather than the usual American trick of having somebody speak English with a cod accent.

Podcast of the day is Richard Herrings' new internet based venture 'As It Occurs To Me' - a weekly, topical sketch show recorded live and put out as a podcast. This is partly an experiment to get away from the onerous restrictions placed on BBC comedy where causing any sort of offence is now a very grey area, or it would be if that wasn't offensive to grey people. Probably. Anyhoo, it's a worthwhile project so please support it by subscribing to the podcast and going to the live shows in London if you are able.
