@jimthefish      Moffat does like time travel.  I think this is great for him and fans of the book and his work. I liked the book but I didn’t love the book. I expect with the Moff at the wheel it will be very good.

@pedant   We are lucky to live on a creek with miles of swamp and marshland around us. These wetlands are so important as a nursery for so many birds, mammals and aquatic animals. We even have a family of river otters.

Glad you liked the name.My husband came up with it, just with his brain as I told my granddaughter.( he is computer free) I did s…[Read more]

@everyone   Last Thursday I was at my son’s when his boxer named Ruby had 10 yes 10 puppies.That was a pile of pups. My granddaughters head almost exploded in excitement. Her awwwwws got so high pitched my ears hurt. But all are well and mom is a real champ!

Anyway they all needed to be named for the vet and their records so my son thought he w…[Read more]

@pedant  The ospreys that fish our creek and pond did nest on an old radio tower across the highway from the water for a year but it was dangerous for them because they sometimes barely cleared the cars and trucks while flying across. A new platform was built for them before they came back in the spring and the old nest and tower were taken down.…[Read more]

@pedant Thank you for sharing that with me. It is so nice to see the ospreys doing so well and learning to fly. I like the structures built along side the nest  like a couple of old trees. Are they put there to help the young learn to fly? Or maybe just more leg /wing room? Those birds have a beautiful view and the one you give us from the tower…[Read more]

@janetteb and @blenkinsopthebrave  First to my fellow Canucks “Happy Canada Day!”

I loved the original Star Trek when I was young.  I joke that I learned everything I needed to know

about life from  Star Trek. Life lessons like “the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few” and that cruelty and injustice should be fought against. I le…[Read more]

@wolfweed Thanks for that.

@janetteb    Sorry about your tough week. I am done with dragging kids through school and in fact we are going to my granddaughters grade 8 graduation next week.Her parents can fight the good fight and we will just enjoy the milestones.

In Ontario the province I live in we just had an election for premier and they voted in a Trump impersonator wh…[Read more]

@pedant and @ichabod  I agree that people and animals today are already suffering from the effects of climate change all over the world. Hotter summers every year along with the smog alerts that go hand in hand with forest fires and massive heat related tornadoes. Our far north Inuit towns losing feet of shore line to rising sea levels, and…[Read more]

@ichabod  First let me congratulate you and your grandson and his new wife. They sound like wise young people with brilliant futures. Secondly , I want to say I agree with your posts and I also have a big stake in the game. My granddaughters and grandsons as well as all the children on this planet deserve better than what we are leaving them and…[Read more]

@ichabod   I always understood how some felt about the gender change of our Doctor and I felt /feel some of it too. Also I worry that there are many people who will not even give her a chance and that is sad.  I just think about all those past Doctors and their memories ( including Clara)  being part of this new regeneration. It will be fun…[Read more]

@ichabod  I have to agree that with you about the culottes. I didn’t like them the first time around but thats just me. I also wonder how the whole”female” time lord thing will be dealt with. She can’t just ignore it but we don’t want it to become the whole story,  just like being a female is not my whole story.

When Matt Smith first took the r…[Read more]

@toinfinityandbepond  Thank you for the news , I look forward to that.

@janetteb   I have one of those lists. It gets longer instead of shorter no matter how many items I cross off it. I wish I had a grandma cave all my own so I could geek out with Tardis blue walls and Who stuff everywhere but I settle for a little corner and my new shelf to feed my inner nerd.

@janetteb   Oooooh a Tardis shower curtain! I like it.  Definitely not tacky.

@thane16  Hello Puro ! Things here are good. Although we are still in spring we are having an early heat wave with temps of 30C. the last couple of days. I think it will be a hot, dry summer with lots of watering to keep the veggies and flowers going. Thankfully we live on a creek and have a pump and lots of rain barrels to save on water from the…[Read more]

@janetteb  I am also suffering through this dry time. My withdrawal symptoms include making up my own compilations like all the dalek episodes or all of River Song’s episodes etc. I also made a Tardis shaped shelf , painted it Tardis blue and placed my Who “stuff” on it. Next project is a Tardis for my garden with a solar lantern for the roof and…[Read more]

@everyone  Has anyone ever watched the series “The Last Detective” with Peter Davison as Constable Dangerous Davies? I lucked out and found the set of 4 seasons at a second hand shop for just ” 8 of our Canadian dollars” (to misquote @craig) . It is a pretty entertaining tale of a very nice man doing a very tough job. Nice to see the 5th Doctor…[Read more]

@craig    Isn’t it annoying when real life happens?  Really though it is good to see you back and thank you for the link. I will have to get me some of those books.

@ddoherty95   I think your emoji says 10th Doctor.  I love the 10th Doctor and I am a big David Tennant fan too. I hope he replies to you. Thanks for the kind words about my profile pic.  At my age when you have lost parents and other loved ones and when you have grandkids that quote really hits home. We are all just stories in the end so lets hop…[Read more]
