My plan for the Easter weekend was to fix one bug in PuTTY, and other than that to laze around, relax and generally do as little as possible. I accomplished all of this. I'd have preferred to do it the other way round (fixing the bug first rather than last, so that it wasn't hanging over me during the rest of my relaxation), but unfortunately I needed a lot of the relaxation before I felt ready to tackle the bug.

Also I ate two enormous curries: one because I had a one-evening gap in my dinner plans and suddenly remembered that quite a lot of ready-meal curries were gluten-free, and the other last night because the Carlton had an all-you-can-gobble-for-a-tenner curry night. I turned up to that half expecting to be told that they weren't set up to cater to coeliacs and to go straight home, but it turned out that two of their existing curries were OK and they also prepared me a special pot of gluten-free chicken bhuna. Which, I might add, was delicious: the others weren't bad either, but this one was fantastic. I don't recall ever having eaten a bhuna before, but clearly I should have. Definitely a tenner well spent.

lnr's party on Sunday night was very good too; I normally bail out of parties early these days because my desire for sleep outweighs my desire to stay at them (translation: because I'm getting old), but this time I got very drunk and went home around 3am having had a thoroughly good time. (And was rather hung over the next morning, but fortunately it was the kind of hangover that only bothered me when I tried to move, so I cunningly sat on the sofa and ignored it.)

And, of course, there was Doctor Who, which was good fun. They might have been trying to do a little too much in the first episode, but on the other hand the West Wing had that even worse and it didn't seem to hurt it too badly. There were a couple of specific points where I felt the CGI was excessive or gratuitous (notably the wheely-bin), and the burp joke was beyond what I could reasonably forgive on grounds of humorous licence, but on the whole, no problems with that.

So, a good weekend. Now I suppose I'd better stop talking about it and do some work.
