Yesterday, I made Twinings Peach & Cherry Blossom green tea and watch Dredd on the huge television downstairs. We have a home cinema as well but it's too boomy for me so I watched it on the Blu Ray player. It's one of my favourite films so I was happy to curl up on the sofa and watch it while drinking tea.
My mum and dad bought Pizza Express margarita pizza from Sainsbury's with garlic bread so we had that for dinner with BBQ chicken goujons while watching Doctor Who. We're currently rewatching the fourth series which happens to be my favourite Doctor Whoseries.
The more I watch the Russell T Davies era of Doctor Who, the more I realise how downhill it's gone since he left and Steven Moffat took over. It's still my favourite show but if I said I loved the direction it's taken, I'd be lying.
I downloaded an app for my phone called Effing Weather. Unfortunately, the default background is bright yellow (oh, how I hate yellow) but you can upload your own.
Pssttt. I'm one of those cowards that eats mild salsa. Well, on the rare occasion I do. I've never been a fan of salsa.
I've had a TARDIS bathrobe since February but unfortunately, the back of it started coming away a few months ago so I contacted the BBC Shop who told me to send it back to them for a replacement. I did but after a week, I hadn't heard anything from them so I phoned and they said that the TARDIS bathrobes were out of stock and they weren't expecting any more until October. Frustrating but I was willing to wait.
Imagine my surprise when a parcel from the BBC Shop arrived three weeks ago and a new bath robe was inside it. I was so excited but when I took it out to wear it, I automatically recoiled. The material felt horrible. I'm Autistic and because of that, I have sensory issues which means I can't handle a lot of textures and scents. I plan to blog about that separately in the near future, though, so keep an eye out for that.
Not only that, when I tried it on, it wouldn't even go round me. I haven't gained weight since having to send my other one back so it wasn't anything to do with me but it was still extremely upsetting.
I called the BBC Shop again the next day and they were extremely sympathetic about it. Yesterday, I went downstairs to get breakfast and found a huge parcel from the BBC Shop. Guess what was inside it? A TARDIS bathrobe of course! I haven't even gotten round to sending the other one back so I was surprised to say the least.
The material on this one is the same one as my old one which I'm extremely pleased about. The cut is slightly different but it more than goes round me so it's finally sorted after what feels like a long time. The BBC Shop have been excellent so I'll be writing a little thank you note when I return the other bathrobe to them.
Unfortunately, this weekend has been a rather miserable one overall. I'm tempted to cancel my appointment with my therapist so I can spend all the entirely day in bed but I have to return Frankenweenie to the library so I can't.
I hope everyone's weekend has been better than mine!
