I never see anything coming so I was totally surprised and really quite happy that I was. I am still not sure who the shiny  guys are although I have some theories or more like wild guesses.The spy gadgets were fun and the tuxes were cool as was the Doctors bow-tie .So the Doctor once spent 123 years in the outback?

There was as usual too much…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   Whimsy is such a lovely word and I agree that we need more of it as well as imagination and fantasy and wishes. Doctor Who is full of all of that and more and I can’t wait till tomorrow night to start a brand new series. I have my Who slippers, t-shirt,scarf  and TARDIS mug all cleaned and ready. Treats will be eaten and te…[Read more]

Hello to all my friends around the world and a Happy New Year!! I have 2hr. and 30 min. to go till midnight so some of you have long beat me to the midnight kiss. So I blow a kiss out to all of you with my hope that next year finds you happy and contented.

Like all of you I wish for more peaceful dialogue between all sides with far more listening…[Read more]

@arbutus   Thank you for the good wishes. My granddaughters did fill my day with joy and laughter and a little silliness.It was great! The teenager is here for a few days so the house is filled with her friends and her “stuff” and my bathroom is filled with make-up and hair products.Ah the memories.

I hope your holidays are good and filled with l…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   It was Scrooged with Bill Murray  and at midnight Christmas Eve the Winstons watched the old black and white version of A Christmas Carol. I do like the Muppet version because of the music but didn’t see it this year, too bad.

To all my fellow Whovians and their families, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas filled with good food ,good company and laughing children. I wish you peace of mind and a little joy wherever you can find it. Have a great day!

P.S.  Call your Mom or Granny and anyone who might be lonely, they will love it.

@pedant  Sad magic is my Christmas this year. It is a little tough for us but the granddaughters  are coming in the morning for Christmas Day and they are a blessing.

@thane16  After Doctor Who, Boston Legal is my fave! I love Alan and Denny Shore. Thanks.

@thane16 and @janetteb   I liked that episode a lot but I have not watched in awhile and now I want to again! So many questions and mysteries in that episode. Like who or what if anything is under the blanket on the bed. That actually gives me the creeps and I hate not knowing.I better read the thread again in case someone had some answers. I w…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave  I love that movie and even those clips had me giggling! I love a good insult.

@pedant Thanks for the clip and “ditto”.

@janetteb   I saw on the news about your record breaking heat and it must be hard to get through it. How hard is it to do your baking in that kind of heat? My oven is used as storage from June to Sept. here during our summer and I bake all winter to help keep the kitchen warm. We are having an arctic chill  and it is -22C right now and expected to…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox  I do not know enough about British politicians or politics to comment but I do know a lot about “bad language” and you have impressed me a lot with that second one. I will be borrowing it to describe some equally despised politicians in my country. Thanks for that.

@blenkinsopthebrave and @pedant   I was able to watch all 3 trailers and it looks very creepy indeed. Dracula/ vampires have scared the heck out of me since I was a child so as good as it probably is I will be giving it a miss.My OH will watch it and tell me about it after( minus the gross parts).

@missy and @cathannabel  I am so sorry for you both and your families. Cancer sucks and it is terrible that you have to go through this with people you love. Please stop in now and then because I know that sometimes distraction is a blessing if only for a little while.Also know that we are thinking of you even if we don’t see you.

@janetteb  I know exactly what you mean, time is something I could use more of. I really liked the His Dark Materials books and I plan to watch the series, in the new year if I find the time.

As far as my Xmas viewing goes I am almost done the Who episodes and I just watched a nice movie called The Man Who Invented Christmas about Dickens…[Read more]

@missy That speech from Capaldi also chokes me up every time I watch it.

@blenkinsopthebrave  Thank you. When you are sick then who you gonna call…….a Doctor of course. Sorry for the mixed up quote but I watched the Ghostbusters today.
