Time lost, time team and time travel

vanessaramaI was back at work today for the first time in nearly two weeks. I'm knackered now! I still have The Cough That Can Be Heard On Mars, but am mostly better otherwise. Was touchingly delighted to be with colleagues, even the ones who drive me a bit nuts sometimes; being sick I've barely spoken to other people (except Rohan and his family) and I've missed having other people to distract with random crap talk to.
On Friday I found Connie Willis' All Clear, the second half of Blackout, in the letterbox at 3:44 PM. I finished it at 10:04 PM. I did nothing but gobble it up all day. The emotional payoff was there, although I had a few issues with the book. Now I want other people to read it so I can squee and discuss it with them.
And finally, Colin Morgan can apparently be tied to everything else on TV or indeed in life. My Morgan-sensor finds connections everywhere. In just one afternoon last week, there was:
- a Time Team repeat in which they were digging up things near Armagh, and the TV guide said it was filmed in 1996 and they had some kids hanging round and I was all "... OMG wee!Colin could be one of them..."
- a conversation with Ben in which he said something about Mark Gatiss and I was all "... who has been on stage with Colin Morgan..."
- a thing on telly about lemurs which made me say "... Colin's favourite animal..."
THIS IS A DISEASE. SEND HELP. OR COLIN. ACTUALLY, JUST SEND COLIN.
