Today, feeling coldy and unwanted at the various social things I had lined up I have spent the afternoon in the study with my credit card, Amazon, iTunes and Britart. I will not end this month (or the next) in credit....
The telly beckons now but I'm not sure I can face Planet Earth as apparently the Polar Bear dies. I still haven't quite recovered from the grieving elephants on BBC Two last week and am certainly too low on tissues to risk too much more Natural Cruelty. At least I still have the one millionth episode of The Archers on Tuesday to look forward to.

Now, I KNOW walruses aren't as cuddly-looking as polar bears -- in fact they're really pretty damn ugly, but that is NOT THEIR FAULT and, besides, this walrus wasn't looking for a fight... I mean even if the polar bear WAS hungry, well so was the walrus - probably - and he didn't go around attacking polar bears, did he? No! Exactly!
