Gone Shopping...

[endlessrarities]

I overspent in Lush.

There's a surprise...  Still, I was given the inevitable goody bag, which was lovely.

I also visited Thorntons, for some Very Interesting Chocolate.  White chocolate with coconut & lime, I think it is, milk chocolate with fudge pieces, and dark chocolate (why, oh why, can't they call it PLAIN chocolate the way they used to???) with mint.

As for the DVD's of the month...  They didn't have Battlefield in stock in HMV, so I went for Survival instead, which is kind of what I'd been expecting.  I remember when it first came out, I used to have two black stable cats up where my horse was billeted.  They were dead ringers for 'kitlings'...  I also managed to pick up, very cheap, The Last Emperor, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Donald Sutherland version...)

This means that when I went home, I was able to chuck out five unwanted VHS videos.  Woo-hoo!  We have progress!!!  Not much, but a little...

I've learnt, too, that I can get Silver Nemesis on DVD, as part of a larger collection of cybermen-related episodes.  This annoys me.  I'm one of these really anal folk that wants to be able to look on the shelf and see my Dr Who episodes lined up in neat, serried ranks, arranged in chronological order.  How can I do that if Silver Nemesis has to be stabled elsewhere???

Last, and perhaps not least, I picked up Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn album for a measly three quid.  It was recommended to me by my former Ph.D supervisor years ago (I think he was drunk at the time!) and I quite like it.  So I introduced it to my husband, who's rather partial to a bit of Pink Floyd.

He was not impressed.  He described it as 'nursery hippy'.  Hmmm....

Ah, well.  At least I tried...
