What, no Who? Why?????

I don't know how or why but I missed Dr Who on Thursday, and it was part 4 of The Deadly Assassin too. The first 2 seconds taped and then that was it. I hope this didn't happen because I turned the TV off, because that means I have been taping a lot of nothing a lot of the time. Bah humbug. I can't check for another 20 minutes either. Now I am trying to remember what I have taped to watch later: 1066 The Peter and Dan Snow about Battlefield Britain. That might be all. I just did a trial run and everything seemed OK. O course it could be that the digital station went off but it does seem strange as I probably turned the TV off as soon as I saw it had started. I wish I was a Luddite. I am a semi-Luddite. It is much harder being a semi-Luddite, at least when you are a Luddite you can eschew all things technological. I can only eschew those I chose.
I have been pursuing my favourite past time : sleeping. I have slept so much in the last 2 days it is a wonder I can function at all!!! There has been a cool breeze despite the heat but we have had no rain.
We do have a new judge, Tennant, a woman : at last!!! Not because she is a woman, but because she is the best one for the job ( I wanted to be contrary and say she was the best man for the job!!)
I am worn down by the heat, I need smelling salts, a Nubian slave and a fan.
Passionfruit Sauce
110 g sugar
40-50 ml lemon juice
250 ml water
1 cup fresh passionfruit pulp
Stir water, sugar and lemon juice over low heat and stir till dissolved. Bring to the boil and add the passionfruit and simmer for about 10 minutes. Place in a sterilised jar and refrigerate. Yummy over ice-cream, peaches, strawberries, pavlova etc
