It was a quiet day at home, spent celebrating Easter with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. We had a nice midday meal of filet mignon and some gorgeous, if a little too hot, weather all day. It’s only within the past hour that it’s started to rain again, hopefully cooling off but not returning to the genuinely chilly weather we had all last week. Today we actually took the covers off the air conditioners, and even used the one in the living room for a while.
Beyond that, I did the Sunday crossword, watched the latest episode of Doctor Who (which I think I may actually want to watch again), and went to the local nursery to buy my mother a plant for Easter. About it, really.
In contrast, it was finally warm enough today to have the windows open ALL DAY LONG. There was much rejoicing in the land. Tomorrow it may rain. Actual rain, and not snow. THE MIND BOGGLES.
Glad you had a nice Easter!
Yes, I realize “air conditioner” may seem like a bizarre and foreign concept. It was unseasonably hot today, after being unseasonably cold for several weeks.
But no snow. 🙂
I know I’m going to want/need to watch it again.
I liked the episode a whole lot, but I’m not entirely sure I loved it. I’m also not entirely sure it’s possible to love it, given that it’s only at least halfway through. I think I wanted to re-watch it out of some misguided notion that it would resolve itself, unlike the first time through. “Oh,” I found myself thinking, “I didn’t not understand it; it was just designed more to tease than explain.”
Still, there was a lot to really like about. I particularly enjoyed Rory and River’s talk together, and the fact that Mark Sheppard — who seems determined to guest on every hour-long television show nowadays — was played in the later version of the character by his father, William Morgan Sheppard.
I think I have something of an impulse to watch it again to see if it would come together more completely, myself, but rationally I know that’s not true. Really, I don’t think there’s very much to be said about it until part 2 (hopefully) fills in the big blank space in the middle of the jigsaw. Some fun scenes and lines, though.
And I didn’t realize until after I watched this that the two Sheppards were related. They’re both kind of great, although Mark Sheppard, for me, is very much, “Hey, isn’t that that guy from other stuff?”
