Terror of the Zygons

Last night I was watching the film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a 2004 film directed by Alfonso Cuaron and based on the J.K. Rowling novel. I'd seen it before, but it was a lot of fun. I also watched a 1975 Doctor Who story on TV called "The Terror of the Zygons". The story involves the fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) summoned to the Highlands of Scotland to investigate the mysterious wrecking of oil rigs in the North Sea. It turns out that the thing responsible for the sinkings is none other than the legendary Loch Ness Monster, which is discovered to be a cybernetic creature called a Skarasen which is owned an operated by a race of creatures called the Zygons which live in a spaceship underneath Loch Ness and intend to use the Skarasen in their bid to take over the world. It wasn't a bad story, even if the Loch Ness Monster looks more like something given away free in a cereal box.

Today I went out to my parent's house for lunch as usual. As it was Burns' Night on Friday we had haggis (which was very nice), with mashed potato and a glass of whiskey. After that I went to a nearby supermarket with my mum where I got a book called The Good Guy by Dean Koontz and the latest issue of Uncut magazine which featured a free CD of musicians who influenced Bob Dylan.
