I don't know if anyone is learning these poems, but if so, you'll be pleased with the one I've chosen today!

I May, I might, I must

If you will tell me why the fen
appears impassable, I then
will tell you why I think that I
can get across it if I try.

Marianne Moore

Today the sun is shining and it's warm outside. We have internet access again and I found my watch after a week hiding down the side of a chair. I've done (some) work that I needed to and been shopping too. Tonight I'm going out for dinner with some friends at a Malaysian restaurant in the city. I think that counts as a good day all round.

So says this week's 'Weekly Telegraph'. And (as I have been saying for the last 6 months), I wholeheartedly agree. Now, finally, so does BBC America, which has decided to scrap the show, currently on air twice a day. Also on the chopping block are such favourites as 'Are you being served?', 'Keeping up Appearances' and 'The Avengers.' Not before time.

What, you may wonder, is going to replace such treats as these?

Hollyoaks. Oh dear.

Wire in the Blood. No comment.

Footballers Wives. *hides head in despair*

This is descibed by Garth Ancier, head of BBC America as 'the very best in contemporary British programming.'

No. No, no, no. No.
