Actually I don't think I'm that bothered who gets the Iron Throne, if there's anyone left at the end!

The Sun ain't gonna shine anymore - Walker Brothers (and Cher more recently)

So much for Brexit! The irony..... There are a few Spurs fans where I work, so they're happy.

Enjoy the walk, hope the weather is a bit better!

Invisible Sun - The Police

I've got no idea either, but

Lucky Man - The Verve

Only seen about half of it so far, but will have to play back to this scene to check! I was really pleased that

Sad that Peter Mayhew, who was Chewbacca in the original Star Wars films (and part of The Force Awakens), passed away on Friday, the day before Star Wars Day.

It's a sin - Pet Shop Boys

Bit better today, not so windy and now sunny(ish).

Thanks, you too. It's a holiday weekend here, we're dog-sitting, she had a couple of nice walks today.

Typical holiday weekend so far, sunny but windy, then it pours, and we had a brief hail storm earlier.

Yes it does tend to happen with long series.

Same here, quite sunny, then I turned round and saw the black clouds approaching! Tried to rain last night but didn't in the end.

Whoever gets the Throne, it can't be Cersei - she has to go! I have to say I don't particularly like either Sansa or Dany I (find them both rather wooden and emotionless, especially Sansa) but who knows?

Yes Arya was great! I did suspect that

Heaven knows I'm miserable now - The Smiths

That sounds a really good read, Will.

Agatha Raisin and the Dead Ringer by M C Beaton - latest in the series in which Agatha, increasingly fed up with the humdrum work at her detective agency and her distinct lack of a love life, finds herself embroiled in the heady world of bell-ringers, when she's asked to investigate the disappearance of the local bishop's former fiancée. The bishop is very easy on the eye, and whilst Agatha's head is first turned by him and then by a journalist, the bodies start to pile up. Is the bishop involved somehow? Attempts on Agatha's life follow, and she finally decides to do some proper detective work after an attempt on her own life. These books seems to be becoming more rushed with each one, although, despite the events in this book taking place over a period of about 18 months or so, Agatha and her friends never seem to age, in fact the books seem to be set in a time-warp. The plot follows the usual lines now, Agatha loses her head to one or more men, her friends and colleagues try to talk her out of another disastrous love affair, there's a lot of rushing around, various people come and go for no apparent reason at all, and the murder ofa policeman, who was already in trouble (and surely should have been sacked a long time ago) for selling stories to the Press, seems to be completely ignored. Then Agatha finally coms to her senses and actually does some work and solves the case. Although this is easy reading and doesn't pretend to be anything else, I'm finding Agatha is becoming rather tiresome now, she seems to have been in her early/mid fifties for about 10 years, and the whole formula is becoming increasingly tiresome and frankly boring, I think it's time Agatha either finally moved on (or retired!) 6/10

Yes the flat dark screens are apparently pretty much like a mirror so have a lot of reflection. I did switch off our table lamps but short of sitting in the dark there wasn't much else I could have done!

Did anybody see last night's episode? I must admit I was slightly disappointed, mainly because it was hard to sometimes see what was going on as it was nearly all in the dark - I have to admit that my heart sank when I read the battle would be at night, and I thought oh great that means it'll be too flippin' dark! It was spectacular though.
