Blighty comes to Tinseltown

Little man wakes me up at 7.45am when he appears at the side of the bed (remember, he's in a toddler bed now)!
Dropped him at drop off and off to Sears for last min pressie shopping. Actually, mostly for pressies but also for a vacuum cleaner (exciting).
Into the office and I was the only one there for the two hours I was drinking coffee. Caught up on some email. David had his baby - yeehoo - 9lbs 0.5oz - blimey! Oh, Americans always give you the length of the baby too whereas us Brits don't.
Picked him up and home to more colouring. Fab. Out for a walk to visit Anita. Ahhh.
Watched HHG2TG on DVD. Brilliant!! I love the movie (I'm also a fan of the original radio series and the UK TV show). Saw it on the first day it came out in LA at the El Capitan on Hollywood Blvd.
Also watched the film with the commentary. Excellent trivia! Mos Def was drinking the wrong glass in the pub and actually got hammered on real beer. The Old lady seen at the cafe table before the Earth is destroyed is actually Douglas' mum! The whole commentary is full of that kinda stuff. Brilliant.
Also found a website with the original Capital Radio jingles when they were on AM (194 - remember?). My goodness, it really just rolled back the years. If you're a Londoner who remembers Capital on AM, check it out here.
