vital statistics of a cockney half-hour

Did you know that each episode of EastEnders costs the BBC 1.75p per viewer? That was the fascinating fact that I discovered via the wonders of the internet this morning and I felt compelled to share it for some reason...

These are all the EastEnders products I have left in my shop now. I feel like a charlatan selling these since I still am not back to watching EastEnders - not a single episode since 2010, though I did watch about 20 minutes of the omnibus one day. Sheesh! I hear Dot is having (or about to have?) a bad time. This almost tempts me to watch as I know June Brown will be getting lots of screen time, but I'd rather Dot was having a good time, or at least a comedy bad time, so I will continue to stay away for now.

No crochet update today. Rows have been completed, but I need to prove to myself and my loved ones that there is something other than crochet in my life. The addiction is becoming serious and is affecting my personal life. I think I should (and will) force myself to leave the house this afternoon in an attempt to shake off this grey cloud that's bobbing around my ears and eyebrows. Perhaps a visit to the supermarket and some cooking for the freezer is what I should do? My life is lacking any sensible routine at the moment. I just work strange/long hours, read on the underground, watch the odd movie* with Graham and crochet/sleep the rest of the time. Our cupboards are officially bare and out freezer is officially empty. My nails are splitting, which can't be a good sign. Protein here I come!

* Talking of watching films, I've seen some good ones lately. I would definitely recommend Submarine, Taxidermia and Catfish. Taxidermia is a weird one, mind you, and not for the faint-hearted (or for people who like a clear plot and being able to understand what is going on in a film) but I liked it a lot.

  2. Glad your winnings arrived safely :) Submarine was so good. Just totally enjoyable from start to finish. Hope you like it! I'm quite excited/jealous at the idea of a projectionist boyfriend... May his film never catch fire!
