BBC has more than just sesame street

Well, we've decided that our educational horizons have certainly been expanded in just five months of watching the BBC. It's sort of like a combination of PBS, the Discovery Channel, the Learning Channel, and CNN.
Last night we watched a couple provocative programs on aid in Africa and anthropology.

But despite our interest in expanding our minds, the most exciting thing on television was the season finale of 24, concluding Day 4. Now we're free again on Sunday nights to socialize, explore, or go to bed early.

The church anniversary luncheon was this Sunday - Bree was kitchenmaster. At least that got her out of having to cook anything. I was signed up as church historian, and prepared a video presentation on the founding of our church. It was quite interesting to see a handwritten note from Charles Spurgeon, dated 146 years ago.

It truly was an action packed weekend, as we also made it to the movie theater for the first time in at least 7 months. Batman Begins did not disappoint - in fact Bree and I both really enjoyed it... at least until Bree admitted that her main reason for liking it was the lead male character. But confession is good for the soul I suppose.

We finally have a guestbook at our flat and we've finally used it - congrats to D&A coming down from Oxford to be the first signees. Apologies to all who came before and did not have the opportunity to sign.

Our next educational opportunity will come tomorrow evening when we attend a cricket match... I wonder if they'll have dollar hot dogs and ice cream in the plastic baseball caps?
