@blenkinsopthebrave  We just watched it yesterday and we both thought it was visually stunning, you could almost taste the sand. Like you, we stay at home and watch what we borrow from the library. They get stuff pretty quickly.

Sometimes Mr.Winston was lost so I had to explain because I have read the book but on the whole we both enjoyed it.

stay safe

@janetteb   Even though it is very cold here I still find it easier to get warm than to cool off in the heat of the summer. Like you I tend to hide out inside ,venturing out to water the gardens and pick veggies. Those vegetables canned and frozen are coming in handy since like your area our shops have empty shelves and what is there is o…[Read more]

@archier  Welcome to you from up here in chilly Canada! We love the Doctor too so you are at the right place. Have fun exploring and commenting.

@janetteb  @dentarthurdent    It was -25C   all day today, have pity for my frozen tootsies. All I can say is Brrrrr…..

Stay safe.

@dentarthurdent   I dream about your weather when it is that cold here. As an avid gardener the idea of things growing all year is a wonderful fantasy. I am landlocked but I do love the ocean and beaches when we travel to either coast. Something about walking along a beach looking at the shore birds, listening to gulls and terns ,spotting seals i…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent      Congrats on getting series 12! I love new DVDs that have never been played before, so shiny and just waiting to be watched.

We also got our boosters yesterday and although my arm always hurts after a jab, Mr Winston usually has little pain but this time we both have sore arms. I reminded him that together we have 2 good arms…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  I like your new picture!

@blenkinsopthebrave   They are 2 of my all time favourite , go to, feel good episodes. I will never get tired of them. They just make me feel good. The Doctor calling on all those ships while standing in Stonehenge was spectacular. Rory the Roman waiting all those years is so romantic, this story has it all. Now I must watch them again.

Stay safe.

@mellouie    Hello and welcome! I hope you like it here,it is a great place to be if you are a Whovian.

@janetteb That was a delightful story. I loved his enthusiasm and love of sci-fi and Doctor Who. His collection is wonderful and if I lived there  I would definitely visit.

Our library changed its website and now wanted a username, som…[Read more]

@nerys   Thank you ,I agree that having her healthy is the best Xmas present I could get! She is returning to online school for now but at this point she wants to go back to school. It was fun at first ,not so much now. Children everywhere are suffering through no fault of their own, they must feel so powerless. It makes me sad.

To everyone who wished my grand daughter well , thank you it means a lot!  I am happy to say that she and her family have all tested negative as of today. We were going to see her after Xmas but she was quarantined so we have not been with her for over a month. If we catch it it won’t be from them and they are all healthy now so I am…[Read more]

@scaryb  Glad you are felling better and only had a wee bout. My granddaughter has it now but has no symptoms, except boredom, from being banished to her room for 10 days. She could give it to her family even though she has no symptoms.It was very quiet Xmas here this year.

Thank you for the good wishes and Happy Who Year to you too!

Stay safe.

Happy Who Year to all of you!

We found out that my granddaughter, who is 13, has covid. She has the Omicron variant but has no symptoms and feels fine. It is still hard not to worry and I hoped this Who would take me away from it for a little while and it did. Thanks Doctor.

I really enjoyed the episode and even Mr Winston watched the whole…[Read more]

I would add to the above that while yesterday I watched  Rose and then Listen I will never be able to just watch one of the episodes in this series by itself. None are stand alone episodes and watching all 6 episodes takes a bit more time and commitment. They won’t be re-watched very often and that is a shame because watching over and over again…[Read more]

@nerys and @blenkinsopthebrave   I finally got to watch the whole thing in a ad free binge over 2 days and I will watch again soon as it needs a few viewings to catch it all. My first impression is that it looks great with lots of special effects and even better period scenes with wonderful costumes. I liked the look of the dog alien but not so m…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   If surviving like an elf on Christmas cookies, fudge, pie, hot chocolate and eggnog is festive then I am as festive as a person can be! I will regret it when I wake up from this sugar coma. Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs.

stay safe

Ho Ho Ho!

@missy  Thank you and I hope you have a nice and peaceful Christmas .

Stay safe

Ho Ho Ho!

@janetteb   Bloody brilliant!  I have a huge grin on my face, thank you. I will think about that every time I take out the garbage bin.

Sorry to see you have the same covid nightmare we have and for the same reason. Hang in there and have a good Christmas.

Stay safe.

Ho Ho Ho!

Oops, we are half WAY out of the dark is what I meant to write. ( too much Xmas cheer).

Merry Christmas!

Well, we are half out of the dark and it is time to wish you all a happy holiday! Congratulations to us all for getting through another year of covid, lockdowns and shortages with grace ,luck and a sense of humour.

Now many of us are back on lockdown with Xmas parties cancelled and even dinner with outside family discouraged but we can do this…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   That was great timing to be sure. I watch all the Xmas episodes every year leading up to the day and I am about to watch the Christmas Carol which is one of my favourites. I will watch Last Christmas but I find it is a sad episode. Anyone who has suffered loss finds it harder during the holidays I suppose.  When Danny tells Cl…[Read more]
