Books and DVDs

Last night I watched a couple of episodes of Torchwood on TV. It's almost finished now, and they've suddenly changed the day it's on from Wednesday to Friday. It will also be a couple of weeks until the next episode. I was also watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, directed by David Yates and based on the novel by JK Rowling. It's the fifth in the series, and I think it's probably not the best of them to start off with if you've never seen any of the other films, or read the books. It is a good film, and a lot darker in tone than the previous ones.

This morning I went up to the post office to post a letter to my friend Allison in New York. Then I went along to the shops and exchanged my DVD copy of Peep Show Season One. Then I went along and bought some books in a three for two offer: Death of a Murderer by Rupert Thomson (which is the next book for the book group), No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy and Oil! by Upton Sinclair (which was adapted into the film There Will be Blood). After that I met my mum to sort something out at the building society. When we had finished there we went to get some lunch at Ryans Bar (I had tomato and lentil soup with chicken, bacon and mayonnaise sandwiches, and a glass of coke). On my way home I picked up some groceries for the week.

I'm going out this evening as well, actually, to a restaurant with some friends, so that should be good.
