Interesting day shopping in town today, thinking at various times that I had lost a hat and an earring (did manage to find both) and then managing to find Due South season three boxset (ie, the one I don't have in Canadian format) in R2 box set, with a sticker I couldn't read that said either 49.99 or 69.99. Tempted at it by one price but not the other, I went up to the desk and asked the girl what the price was. She couldn't read the sticker any more than I could, so scanned it in and pronounced that the number that was confusing me was indeed a four. So I went "hmmm" and then, inspiration strikes. "I don't suppose you take those Post Office All-in-One gift tokens here?" "Yes we do." Because I got one of those for Christmas and haven't had a chance to spend it yet... the value? 50 euros. Hey, I understand meant to be when it presents itself to me, ergo I am now the proud owner of DS Season Three, with special features, including a documentary! Not sure if it's the one that was on Bravo at Christmas, if so yippee, if not yippee anyway!


Can I just say I totally called it that it would be Ulrika and Kay in the skate off, and that Kay deserved to stay. Her lift was better than Ulrika's (it was good in the show, in the skate off it was awful, I thought he was going to drop her); her spin was better than Ulrika's (Kay didn't do a horrible camel spin, her free leg position improved in the skate off, and Pavel held Ulrika's leg up for her!); and Kay Burley, though I am no fan of the woman, at least has a notion of what to do with her free arm and does not let it hang at her side like a great dead hanging thing.

Stephen and Kristina continue to be adorable, and I thought they were hard done by on the marks tonight. He cannot lift her, he will never lift her and they should give them a break on that. I do however bow down to Nicky's comments on ice coverage, there wasn't that much of it.

Also thought Lee and Frankie were let down by the marks, I enjoyed theirs.

Lisa and Matt and Claire and Andrei were by far the best. The swoop lift from Lisa was great, and Claire is as always brilliant.
