The Daily Teaser …

You know, I think I’ve got to get dinner started early, today.

Actually, I think I’ve got to get in the shower pretty pronto, too.

For starters, the finalé of series 5 of Dr Who — The Big Bang — is on, tonight.

At 6•05, on BBC1 and BBC HD, so you know.

And I’ve GOT to admit, I’m planning a bit of a big post, tonight …

But on top of that — and a bit earlier, at 11 0’clock, just ’round the corner from me, outside Brunel House — the Gazette’s having a photo-shoot.

Which ties in with the parking, around here. Basically, they’re trying to get as many of us residents together to at least try and make an impression.

Hope we make the front page … !
