This weekend I have said goodbye, for good, to some friends. I will never hear what happens next for them and, although things look like working out OK, I was still in floods of tears as they packed up and walked out.

Yes, it was the final double bill episode of the West Wing. Sorry if you were actually starting to feel sympathetic there.

I won't go into details as I seem to remember reading somewhere that someone is in the process of watching series 4. Suffice to say that it was a good end. I think it was the first time I have watched an episode for the first time on my own, which turned out to be a good thing due to the excessive waterworks that ensued. I was extremely impressed with David Tennant's (*) knowledge of all things West Wing on Rory Bremner's quiz, although there was some rather shoddy scorekeeping on Rory's part.

In other news, a moving company has sent me a quote without requiring a 10 page exam. Things are looking up.

One question: Why is it that, as soon as I put washing out, the clouds roll in and it starts threatening to rain? I would have thought that, what with there being a heatwave and everything, this would not happen. I will not be toyed with in this fashion - the washing is staying out there until either it is dry, or we have to move, whichever is the sooner.

*Time passes*

I have just spent an hour on the phone and completely forgotten (the doubtless erudite and important) things that I was going to say. I will go and have coffee and return another time.

(*) Who?

Do you see what I did there?
