I'd like to whinge about the weather. Akshully, not so much the weather - which has been lovely - but the temperatures.
In what's passed for our winter we've only had a handful, less than a handful, of overnight lows below 5°. Similarly there's only been a handful of days where the high temp didn't get above 10°. I've only had to wear gloves twice and cotton rather than wool scarves have been perfectly adequate. True, this has been in suburban Melbourne and no doubt it's been much colder along the coast or further inland, but I feel cheated especially now that the temperatures are rising again. The low last night was 18°. 18°. [grump] No wonder I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep easily.

Soulsis and I went to see the Pompeii - captured live in HD doco thingy this afternoon. It was enjoyable but not quite what I was expecting... not that I'm actually sure what I was expecting.
It was, essentially a documentary about the recent Britsh Museum exhibition, showcasing experts talking about stuff. It wouldn't have been out of place on one of the documentary channels, in fact I'll be surprised if it doesn't turn up there.
Even so, there was a lot of fascinating artifacts to ogle...
