@nerys  Interesting times is as good a way as any to describe whatever this is. Canadians have always got along fairly well with our neighbors to the south and we always help each other in times of need. This whole Trump thing is just weird and worrying. The question among most of my friends is “why?” The second question  “Is he crazy?” and my q…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u    I caught the mavity remark so you are not going mad although I heard Trump wants to “economically invade ” us here in Canada and make Wayne Gretzky the Prime Minister so……maybe I’m going mad.

I picture Wayne sitting at home in L.A, ,where he has lived for years, turning on the TV and saying “Why are you bringing me into th…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent      That does sound like a perfect week. Good weather and a good beach, what more can you ask for? We woke up to -17C but it did warm up to a balmy -12C by afternoon. Knee high snow and cold winds. Oh Canada! We do have lots of cold birds and chilly squirrels come to the feeders though and that gives me something to look at besi…[Read more]

@nerys   Happy New Year!    When we were on Vancouver Island our daughter took us to the secret beach that only the locals knew about. We first walked through an old growth forest with trees so big and ferns so tall that we felt very small. We felt like Hobbits on a quest and low and behold the secret beach. A strange thing about that day was that…[Read more]

To all my fellow Whovians far and wide, Happy New Year!    Some of you have already celebrated and are probably sleeping and some have hours yet to wait for midnight and I have 40 mins. to go.

My hopes for everyone are good health,enough food and a roof over their heads. How can life be anything but a struggle without those basic rights? Of co…[Read more]

@craig @blenkinsopthebrave     Merry Christmas! We are halfway out of the dark.

My day was a lunch bag let down after sickness prevented my family from coming over. They were worried that we might get sick so we have postponed till new years. When I watched the episode I remembered how scared I was that I would get Covid and be in the hos…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent    @blenkinsopthebrave  @ps1l0v3y0u       I like when Who does fantasy now and then. In fact I describe it to people as a sci-fi/ fantasy series. Obviously it can go too far for but I do like it. Sometimes it feels like sci-fi takes itself too seriously and leaves me behind trying to figure it out. Fantasy feels like sci-fi gi…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave     That looks really good! I love the Christmas episodes and this one looks to have a lot of crazy stuff happening.Thanks.

stay cozy

@janetteb    I am late starting my annual Who Christmas viewing. The mister and I have been fighting some nasty cold or flu thing and it has put me behind this year. We are getting better so I will have to start my baking and I like to watch the Xmas shows while I do. The Snowmen is a favourite of mine as well, although they all are. I like th…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave      The wild west coast is certainly beautiful but it is a rain forest so….Anyway yesterdays storm knocked off a couple of my daughters roof shingles but that was the worst that happened. I always told my kids during bad storms to be prepared and not scared and so she was and wasn’t.

We are expecting our first snow next…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   Thanks for that. It looks like another fun adventure with Wallace and Gromit ! Too bad I will have to wait till it comes out on Dvd but I don’t have Netflix. I do love those movies as well as Shaun the Sheep.

I hope the big storm is not too bad in your area.My daughter ,on the islands west coast got hit hard and has just g…[Read more]

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@janetteb  @dentarthurdent      I finally got to watch this episode and my first impression was that it was good and silly. I like silly most of the time and RTD is good at it. But… maybe a bit too silly. The babies were all cute but if you are counting on them to be main characters at least get the voices right. They are babies and the one l…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u     @nahh   I have always thought it would be great to have a more alien companion,just to change things up a bit. Maybe even an android or cyborg or a robot.

I think the human companion is there to connect us to the Doctor through them and let us travel with him. I also think the human companion provides a contrast, the Doctor is a…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   @ps1l0v3y0u   In 2005 we took a road trip to British Columbia that would take us 6 days. I planned for months and remember thinking how great the internet was when I ordered maps from every province along with other tourist info. I planned every step of the trip and spent a lot of my drive with maps spread out on my lap. The tri…[Read more]

@janetteb   I loved your camping story and like real troopers you all made the best with what you had.The animal life all around you sounds wonderful!  I have been camping since I was a child and we always took our kids as they grew up. It is a great way to spend time with your family enjoying being outside in the real world, until they are te…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent    @janetteb    I enjoyed all of this episode and seeing all the old faces. Rose is a lovely new face and I would buy her stuffies any day, except the Meep.  Cute and harmless at first disguising quite a nasty little guy inside. The Meep reminds me of the adorable young racoon we have visiting our bird feeder .He is so cute with h…[Read more]

Well I am late but I have finally watched this one again and can comment on it. I liked the scenes where the Doc and her fam are zapped through their time streams, even times they haven’t experienced yet. We may want to relive our past times but we want to choose which ones we visit and not be forced to relive bad memories.

Bel and Vindar’s love…[Read more]

@janetteb We always enjoyed Wallace and Gromit in our house , they were great family movies. I also admit to a fondness for Shaun the Sheep. He is one tricky sheep!

I recently found a Pop figure of the 12th Doctor (still in his box) at our charity shop and I bought him for 3 dollars. I don’t usually buy merch but my kids give me stuff as gifts…[Read more]

@shepherd    Hello!   I used to run home from the school bus everyday to watch Star Trek in the 70s and I always missed the first 15 minutes or so. I started out already confused but I loved the show. I have watched them all many times since but there is nothing like the first time when I was a kid.
