    @blenkinsopthebrave    My daughter is on Vancouver Island and we have visited often and it is a wild paradise. A day on the Pacific Trail  and I was reminded of my place in nature. I was part of it. I hugged the biggest tree I will ever see and marveled at the stormy Pacific Ocean. I watched bear cubs play on the beach and little deer who wan…[Read more]

    @thane16   I also hope you and yours are safe and sound. My thoughts go out to all those suffering through this cyclone.

    @janetteb We have had a lot of snow  this year and it is beautiful , like a glittering white fairy landscape.  Winter is wonderful if you have a nice warm house and if you don’t have to travel too far. Being retired I have the…[Read more]

    @blenkinsopthebrave   Thanks for this.  It does look exciting and even a little scary and I can’t wait. I agree with @janetteb that the cgi looks great and the episodes look action packed but I also like some coziness. As @ps1l0v3y0u says it does look flashy. Bring on the flash.

    I am so lucky because this will be one of the first times I will be…[Read more]

    @janetteb    We adore the Detectorists  and have watched them all a few times. The show is a love letter to people and the hobbies they like. The whole cast are great at creating amusing characters who go about the business of real life in between times spent with their metal detectors. I like the meetings of the detectorists club where they sho…[Read more]

    @janetteb     @nerys  @dentarthurdent  We were talking about this episode  and I had to watch it again. I still can’t say why I like it so much because there is just so much. John Hurt being so weary of war ,death and destruction, literally carrying the weight of his world on his shoulders. Matt Smith the youngest actor somehow being a very old an…[Read more]

    @dentarthurdent  @nerys     This one was a great episode. That long ship corridor and the ever growing fake Doc and Donna almost made me queasy, like a fever dream. The closer they got the larger they grew! They gave me the willies.

    It had a good puzzle , a visit with Newton and a little robot.This felt very Who to me and I enjoyed it all. The…[Read more]

    @nerys  I just watched these a little while ago and I enjoyed them all. I love the Doctor and Donna combo and I was thrilled to see them together again along with Donna’s family and Unit. Donna gets her memories back and the Doctor gets his friend.

    The bi-generation was certainly different and I am still fuzzy about how that works but whatever.…[Read more]

  • @ps1l0v3y0u    Then run!  They could be anywhere, spreading lies and misery wherever they go..There might be one behind you.

    Doctor where are you when we need you?

    stay sane

  • @ps1l0v3y0u     They could be in the same room at the same time because Weyoun was one of at least 8 clones. This explains so much!

    Being Canadian I am already worried and disturbed but if  the orange one and his minions were evil aliens it would make sense. Evil aliens always want to steal our resources.

    stay strong

    @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.

    @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]

    @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.

    @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.
