Too quiet?

It was really cold this morning, so I tried to cheer myself by having a look at the online weather forecast to see if Spring would be making a reappearance soon. The outlook for every day of the next two weeks is "covered by cloud, with highs of 9 degrees". That's it. British typicality for the next fortnight. No wonder I keep looking at holiday homes in Majorca.

The dog hasn't been mentioned for a day or two, which is a relief. It probably means that Philippa has already bought one and just hasn't told me yet. I'll probably come home from work one day to find an 8-week-old cockapoo in the kitchen. God, I hope not.

I've been watching "Under the Banner of Heaven" on Disney+. It's the story of a murder that occurred in Utah in the 1980s, which was committed by members of the Mormon church. Interesting, but very slow-paced, and a bit clunky. It could have been 5 episodes instead of 7 and you would still have got the whole story without missing out any key bits. I'm quite tempted to buy the book it was based on now, as the original (true) case looks quite intriguing, and was no doubt fictionalised extravagantly for the purposes of American television.

That'll do for now. As you can probably tell, I don't have much to keep me occupied at work today....
