The Prisoner...

Those of you who know me well know that my favourite TV programme of all time is 'The Prisoner'. It is genius. Whether planned or accident, it seems to exist on many levels - on one level a cool 60s spy caper, on another questioning the nature of individualism. Great stuff, get the DVDs!

Anyway, after years and years of rumours (at one point Mel Gibson had signed to play No. 6), this news just in from the most trusted source in the known universe : Sky One are going to do a new version. I'm sure it's going to be brilliant. I really am. Honestly. They're so good at telly.

For other Simons news, probably best to bookmark Rach's blog and go there instead of here - not only more frequently updated but much more entertaining according to my colleage Gerald. She seems to be able to manage her time at work much better than me.

However, I will report that our kitchen is now finished and fully operational. Despite the firm's owner and son being complete tossers, they did a superb job, and for those of you who've been here it's a complete transformation. The plasterers even took some initiative and fixed some holes we hadn't asked them to do! Will post some photos later.

Next up: painting painting and more painting in preparation for the upstairs carpet and downstairs oak flooring installation in the next few weeks. Bought our bed yesterday on a near whim on the way to the rugby yesterday (Scotland were terrible in a 3/4 empty Murrayfield). Pre-Christmas completion of everything bar Rach's play/craftroom is on!
