Gadgets
And, of course, today was very slow, and I got called off. Which is fine, because I got yesterday off for free, actually getting credit for helping out, and not a sick day which counts against me. Back is much better today. Moby keeping me company.
Watched Stephen Fry's show about favorite Gadgets. It's a fascinating list, and I love the other people who comment on the gadgets. Especially Jo Brand, a fellow nurse (who claims, as a psych nurse that she's not a 'real nurse' - and earns my respect thereby) who makes me laugh. Sad (or maybe good) that Mr. Fry is not a surgeon, they have innumerable gadgets, new ones all the time.
The order of the list feels a bit random, I think it would be more - useful (?) grouped rather than ordered. The garlic press and apple peeler fall into the drawer for the Goddess Anoia. That the retractable tape measure is supposed to be only for men is plain wrong. I had a small one as a kid, and it was one of my favorite toys. I have one of the regular ones now, and it is such a satisfying mechanism.
I wanted to do a list, but I'm out of energy. TTFN.

It's really difficult to write a comment about those retractable tape measures without it seeming a little Freudian.
Have a (o) instead.
I am a big fan of Jo Brand. She has recently appeared in a pilot comedy show set in a hospital which was brilliant and odd, as you mighy expect. I cant remember the name of it, but I hope the BEEB commissions some more of them
Rosie,
Getting On, found it on IMDB, D looking to see if he can find it anywhere. Thank you so much.
The wonderful Jo Brand lives near me. I see her at the shops sometimes.
Jean,
I wonder if she realizes she has fans on this side of the world? Getting On is amazingly dark, then I laugh out loud, mostly at Jo Brand's lines. I can about watch one a week, I think.
