The sun is possitively beating down today. Is this summer or one of those phoney warm days that makes you throw away the fur rugs and strip down to the surfs up shorts and flip flops. I've been mugged like that too many times although I shall lunch outside today if I can find a warm wall in the beer garden and there aren't any screeching children. Quartermass was of course the first terrifying black and white British television thriller which traumatised an entire generation which later turned to recreational drugs for therapy. The BBC has a lot to feel guilty about.
