A bit worried about the ashes...

Cricket's not my favourite sport but it's difficult not to get excited about the ashes.

I watched the latest episode of "Torchwood" this evening, the one called 'Countrycide' and I have to say I am enjoying this series.

Anyway, long may it continue and I look forward to next week's installment.
