Monday nights

Just killing time waiting for our sparky to arrive. Last night the power point which connects the hotwater heater and water pump to the wall came loose. When James touched it sparks came out so he turned it off to stop it sparking and causing a fire while we were out. Unfortunately, when we got home we couldn't turn it back on again - every time we tried, it tripped all the fuses in the flat. So we had to boil water in 3 saucepans and the kettle in order to have a hot bath. Excellent considering I've got a cold and if you've been watching the weather over here. We haven't actually had any snow so far in London but people were stranded yesterday in Gloucestershire because 5cm of snow in just a few hours and the roads weren't gritted properly. Joy, I'm off to a meeting in Bristol on Thursday - I wonder if it will be snowing when I get there?

And because of the recent cold snap, we've been tending to spend more time indoors and have discovered that there are some great programmes on TV on Monday nights (being the couch potatoes we are). Our newest discovery besides Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Have I Got News for You (which is what Good News Week in Australia was modelled off) is Broken News http://www.brokennews.co.uk/bbc_02.html

Of course, James favours more cerebral game shows like University Challenge and Mastermind. Guess what one of the questions was on UC last night? What is the name of Iceland's main airport, west of the captial Reikjavik? I was jumping up and down because I actually knew the answer as we'd flown through there on the way to New York just the other week.
(The answer by the way is Keflavik.)
