Daleks and other good things
I got home to find a package by the front door, covered in hundreds of stamps. Oh all right, there were only 67. :-P It was the Doctor Who stuff I ordered from the UK about six weeks ago; I'd almost forgotten about it.
I have a pack of three Corgi Daleks (black, red, grey--very cool), two pairs of black socks with Daleks on them for Greg, and a sonic screwdriver/pen. Yay! [Edit:] A Dalek is now menacing my B7 pipecleaner crew. Hee.
And we just heard we should be able to get our stolen TV and camera replaced this week. Because the camera model is no longer made, we're getting a much better one (3x optical zoom, 6 megapixels) so maybe I won't need to buy a new camera after all. I'll have to see how it performs.

oh no! How will they deal with that?
Yay for the replacement items, hope the camera works out

Ah, I can tell you that, as I have managed to preserve my notes of advice (made circa 1979) to Avon on how to improve his performance against Daleks after a dream I had on the subject:
1. Full marks for persuading the Dalek to enter the lift, but once it's in, try to move it to another floor before you jam the mechanism.
2. If you can't manage this, stand well clear; you are less likely to be affected by its exterminator when it burns through the door.
3. Have someone with strong nerves manning the corrosive acid jars (ie not Vila) and try to get as many open beforehand as possible; it's less dangerous than smashing them on the Dalek.
4. Full marks again for tipping the Dalek over while you were on the floor, but try to roll it so that the exterminator is pointing at the floor - less alarming for the person with the corrosive acid.
5. Try to have your pace bowler on hand in the first place - a lot of time is wasted climbing down a broken lift in search of Bob Willis.

Did I miss something? When was your TV and camera stolen? I have to search through your entries...

Daleks are from the British TV program, Doctor Who which frightened a couple of generations of children who hid behind the couch to watch them. There's an entry on them here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalek). My three look like the picture, but they're black, red, and grey. They don't come in pink. ;-D

I hope that the new camera will do what you want. Have they chosen a model for you, or is it what you've suggested?
