I had a great ride home - I went down Reynard. As I said to Mia, the Reynard route is almost perfect, except that at the end you go down a big hill and you have to then go up a big hill... that was my mistake. But I will work on it next week and sort out a route that avoids that dip, and things will go better. The upside is if you cross Bell St just near the Mary Poppins kindergarten, you go down a really weird set of streets, very uncommon for Melbourne.

Meanwhile Kyle told Kate off, with Jade behind a tree. I think Paul decided to adopt Sophie but I'm not entirely sure as Mia was telling me about a real life soap opera that was arguably more interesting i.e. Chris Gorman may or may not have broken his arm.

The bushes outside Kyle-Jade-Rhys' house really need work.

Kyle: 'taking off after another chick, pretty bad form. I realise that now.' The resolution of the valentine's day massacre arc. Hurrah. When is Jade going to admit she's damaged goods? Instead Sonya's telling her to run Kyle a bath. Oh boy.

I guess Sonya's nursery - the set thereof - is the old allotment. How about all these cross-cuts, or am I misappropriating misunderstood technical terms.

I still haven't watched The Straits. Should I? People say it's really good.

Things move fast in Erinsborough these days. Andrew has taken Sophie's advice and Red Cotton are already ready to play a show, and Paul has entrusted Sophie to Andrew's care, though of course the rest of us are perhaps wondering wtf he has to do with it.

'This gig is gonna rock'. Can you believe I was once told that I couldn't be a Neighbours scriptwriter and should leave it to the professionals. It's probably true, I probably couldn't write a line like that.

What's Summer's problem? Apart from the fact that last week I called her Sky? Kyle is watching chix going down into the squat. Oh, actually, Jade is their trainer. I guess she has a job doing it or something. They really splashed out on crutches for this show.

I guess for each episode Stefan Denis has to ask continuity and the director whether Paul has a false foot this time or not.

Jade is going into a masky face thing as Kyle grills her over some relationshippy stuff. I have finally more or less figured out who she is, but who is he? Hey we're at Eden University now. They have african huts there. Why is Summer guilty? Did she steal someone's identity? She seemed to once look very different. Now she is wearing a spray-painted garbage bag. She's really getting off on wandering tha campus. Red Cotton are my new favourite band! Forget Francolin, this is like, woe dude! Oh Paul likes them, I've gone off them. Sophie is seriously sucking some spiderman face there. Still no sign of the Toadster, man has that storyline been parked.

Then it ended. It wuz great! I can't wait for tomorrow'z.

Later: I did some research on Red Cotton and they are actually a Melbourne band called William and the Tells. It's not my job to make Neighbours keep a proper website and it's apparently not anyone's job at Neighbours to keep the website proper but why does the item on Red Cotton/William and the Tells begin:

On the rise local indy band William and the Tells, have been given an international boost with a guest role on Neighbours.
