It's ok. My tax return is done and filed. I received a nice e-mail to that effect from Inland Revenue just now. No, the above exclamation/exhortation/lamentation stems from last night's viewing. On reflection, joining Mr M to watch the latest production of 'Dracula' wasn't the wisest thing to do before retiring for the night. If ever I wanted insomnia, this was the way to catch it! The worst was, I think, that the actor playing the Count bore a passing resemblance to Colin Firth. (Mercifully he wasn't Colin as I found when I checked). It's the look in those eyes. I shall never, ever be able to watch Pride and Prejudice again without (bleurgh!!).

Though to be positive - in a negatively positive way (I'm gifted this way!) it was a brilliant production. Given the popularity of Dracula, and that we all know the story they could have really hammed it up. As it was, what we saw was a clever re-weaving which brought the ... I was about to say brought the old legend back to life, but I've not quite lost all sense of humour and good taste!

Typical me. I hardly ever watch TV and when I do... Think we'll go back to working our way through those Jeeves and Wooster episodes tonight. You can't go wrong with Aunt Dahlia and Madeleine Basset.
