Spare moments

* Reading "Death Note: Another Note - The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases" (2006) by the palindromic Nisioisin, translated from Japanese by Andrew Cunningham. Novel spun off from the "D/N" manga.

* Listening to "An Evening With Dickie Bird" (1998). Billed as "wit and wisdom from around the world with cricket's greatest storyteller". I dunno about greatest, but DB is one of nature's gentlemen and a decent public speaker to boot. A freebie from DL.

* Rewatching - don't ask me why - the "Dungeons & Dragons" cartoon from the '80s (I'm the proud owner of the UK box set). Noticing the peaks and troughs more this time. The dumbest sequence has to be in the episode "The Traitor". Diana, the acrobat, plugs a leak in a hot-air balloon by throwing her staff through the hole!
