Diana Rigg (to her surly teenage stepdaughter): "Well, if you want to have fun, go play with the jellyfish!"--Evil Under the Sun

Dreamed of going to Halifax for another year of college.

Saw the Agatha Christie mystery Evil Under the Sun.  On the pedestrian side.  Peter Ustinov's Hercule Poirot was a bit too cute.  Too bad Diana Rigg was the character who got killed off; her diva was the most fun. [There was a clever bit where one character always had a pipe but no smoke came out of it, and it turned out in the end that he had a stolen gem hidden in it!  Even the viewers who noticed the lack of smoke--I didn't--must have assumed the pipe was just a cheesy prop.]

Baked cheese bread.

Donald, John and Rae come over for dinner, which was turkey and lasagna.  Unfortunately, something happened to the stove and we had to put the turkey and potatoes into the microwave oven.  The spuds were still so undercooked that I couldn't eat them.
