@thane15   Sorry about that above, I forgot the 15. Hi to you and Mum from very cold and snowy Canada.It is -7 C  and my feet are freezing. I hope it is warmer there but not too hot. Too bad we couldn’t trade just a little bit of weather eh.

@thane  The Doctor has travelled through a dark tunnel and is starting to see the light at the end.He is healing but there is pain in the healing and acceptance that things end. Poor Doctor. I am glad he has Nardole because if nothing else he should be entertaining. Also I saw and applauded Meryl Streep’s speech- You go girl! Trumps response that…[Read more]

This was so very good. Like @pedant my head was spinning. It is wonderful what can be done with excellent writers, director and of course the actors. Culverton was a truly creepy bad guy with an equally creepy laugh and toupee.  There were also sad but beautiful scenes where John comes to terms with Mary’s death with help from Mary herself. The…[Read more]

@craig  I get to watch tonight. It sure looks good.

I liked this episode but then I always do. Anything Moffat and Gatiss make is smart and entertaining. Cumberbatches portrayal of Holmes as a genius struggling with his disconnect from his fellow human beings and Freemans all too human Watson make the perfect couple. “were not a couple” I have loved this show from the first and it never fails to…[Read more]

Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2017 is a good year for everyone.

Another great entertainer is gone. Goodbye Carrie Fisher.

Hi all! I hope your holiday was good. Like most of you I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. It was light and cheerful and a perfect dessert after a rushed day and too much eating. Loved Nardole and the super-nanny and the whole story. We were stuck with nasty commercial breaks which take away some enjoyment but that was not the Doctors fault. The…[Read more]

@thane15 and @blenkinsopthebrave    I agree that it would be nice to have something new to think about these days. A new Chris Chibnell story is just what the Doctor ordered (pun intended) and would give us a little distraction and something different to read and write about. That is what Doctor Who is for me, a place where I can go to esca…[Read more]

@pedant   Thankyou for that link.  I spent the 11th hour at my Father’s grave. He was a sailor in the Canadian Navy  during the Korean War  and thankfully came back as so many others have not.Lest We Forget.

@thane15   You seem to have a good grip on the uphill battle that is life. We have to live for the flashes of joy we get or we would be mired in sadness. I also agree with @missrori that the world we live in is a cold hard place sometimes and could use a lot more compassion. The Doctor is compassionate and empathetic and he always tries to be f…[Read more]

@arbutus  You are right of course ,it was Rooster Cogburn. Thanks. @puroandson  I do drink a lot of coffee.Way too much , far too much…..but I do love it so.

Just heard that the Jays lost again. (baseball)

@arbutus and @puroandson   The bar I worked in had been a pub for a long time and had a walk-in cooler in the basement where the kegs were kept. but they were the kind that was under pressure. I loved that room on hot days and volunteered to change the kegs or throw up soda or bottled beer.

Katherine Hepburn is also one of my all time f…[Read more]
