@thane16  Thank you for asking.  I had new x-rays and everything is healing properly so that is good news. I also got a new purple cast, yay. It will come off Oct. 20th thank goodness.My arm hurts a bit and the cast is heavy and irritating but”  thems the breaks”.

We did do a few quarts of stewed tomatoes and some pint jars of juice so the mister got a crash course in canning. Luckily I had already finished most of the jams, jellies and other pickles before I broke myself but now we have the apples to do.Poor mister will have to learn how to use the peeler and then make sauce and pie filling for the winter.

We call it canning but we actually use glass  jars so why do we call it canning? I have no idea even though I have been doing it for a long time.

I hope you are feeling better now. I too get a little repetitive with my cooking and I love reading cookbooks looking for something new. Next thing I want to try from scratch is samosas after trying them this year and loving them.They will have to wait a bit.

@whohar   Hello fellow fan! I heard there was a new Thursday Next  novel coming! I have read them all and some more than once over the years but this is the first time I have listened to one. Fforde’s strange and wonderful book world was a surprise that fired my imagination and inspired me to revisit some classics and try some new ones. I wasn’t sure I would ever read a novel the same way again and every now and then while reading I stop and imagine ,what if.

All his books are fantastical  and strange and I enjoy them all.

@thane16   Thank you for asking. I will admit that I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I was just getting used to having a knee that was never going to be the same, the “new normal” and even talked about getting back on my bike and then…. Well always keep a tidy work area.

The mister is very helpful again. No good meds for home but I think I floated home after I left the hospital. Audio books are great, I have a Jasper Fforde on my tablet right now.

Broken leg, good meds, broken arm ,no meds. Mostly I feel clumsy and as you say frustrated. Lots to do this time of year so the mister is learning to can tomatoes and so much more.

I love the Who to this day. Tommy told me a story with music and started a love of rock operas. I used to save my money so I could buy albums to play on my 2nd hand portable turntable. I still have most of those albums and I really miss that little record player that I decorated with peace signs. Second album was the Beatles of course. Sargent Pepper.

@thane16   I only wish we had a mango yellow phone! Our kitchen was burnt orange and avocado green, appliances and all. Ah the colours of the 70s. My Mom also loved red and black in the living room.

Sorry for taking so long to reply but I broke my arm last Monday and it was my right arm. I am of course right handed so all is harder. It has taken me a long time to peck through this with my left hand. It will all be fine but a real pain till it heals and the cast comes off.I will post when I have a lot of time to type.

@ps1l0v3y0u  @dentarthurdent  @thane16     I was about 14 yrs old when my bestie called me on the phone(avocado green and attached to the wall) to announce the purchase of a new album. I went over to her house where we holed up in the basement bent over her portable record player and heard Dark side of the Moon for the 1st time. The 1st time of hundreds till we knew every word of every song on both sides of the album. Now whenever I hear any of the songs I am pulled back into that basement with my friend ,singing and giggling. Falling in love with Pink Floyd and beyond. It was a gateway album for us.

Isn’t music wonderful?

@nerys    I think Donna is feisty , mouthy ,loud and angry and I love her. She reminds me of one of my sisters, my aunt and my mom , slightly scary and liable to run all over me but there is nobody better to have in your corner when the going gets tough. The Doctor Donna will fight for what is right and for the underdog. I think she is a great companion and like you I am happy she got her memories back and her very own backyard Doctor.

@ps1l0v3y0u    @thane16    I admit that I have never cared for  Once Upon a Time in the West or other “spaghetti westerns”, maybe it’s all the squinting?

@nerys  @dentarthurdent    Maybe that menacing feeling I had is shared by others and they are gifted enough to write about it. I love my garden and thankfully the feeling was fleeting and hasn’t happened since , although , I sometimes think they are plotting behind my back. For now though there are veggies to eat, fruit to jam, peppers to pickle and tomatoes to sauce.

Roses in winter must be wonderful!

@nerys  @thane16    With everything costing so much more it is great to have a good library in your area because everything there is freeeee!! Sometimes I have to wait but I am OK with that.

@dentarthurdent  @whohar     The other day I was standing out in the garden surrounded by growing things and all the critters they attract and it was all good. Then I had a slight anxious  feeling, that if I stayed still for too long I would become part of the garden. That is how the 13th Doctor’s Tardis made me feel and “I don’t like it”.

@nerys  Wow!  You have been on an epic journey with the Doctor right to the end. What an ending, Rose is the Doctor? What? What,what what?  I would watch that.

It has been awhile since I watched this one but I remember being thrilled to see Anita again and saving the Doctor also. The rest of it is a blur of monsters and Unit and …other stuff.

@dentarthurdent  @ps1l0v3y0u   @thane16  Hello!   There are some very interesting posts here and it has taken me awhile to read them all. I have no problem with social messaging especially when so many more people seem to get their information and news from screens. There is proof that watching too much violence or too much doom scrolling can affect your mental health in an adverse way so maybe seeing positive messages can make us feel more hopeful. But, if that messaging is too preachy and clunky or even if it makes us feel guilty we tune out and stop listening and that defeats the purpose.

My kids watched Sesame Street and were very entertained, they didn’t know they were learning so much while giggling at Bert and Ernie. That is where Chibz went wrong, too much teaching and not enough giggling.

I still love the 13th Doctor. She was fierce in her protection of her Fam and so am I.

Good night from the smoky hell that is Ontario. I have to go turn on  the fans we use to send our smoke to the White House.

@dentarthurdent  Sorry, we are not prepared to lend out Mark Carney at this time, he is way too busy here or at least he better be. There’s a lot going on.

@nerys  @blenkinsopthebrave      Happy Canada Day!   The place still looks good no matter what her age. I have seen a lot of maple leaves and flags on houses,cars,faces, fences and pickup trucks to celebrate the day. A sea of red and white. I hope everyone has a good birthday party however you want it.

I saw a sign the other day that made me chuckle for days. It read ” When Canada takes over the world,everyone will be sorry”

Have a great day eh. “True north , strong and free.”

@dentarthurdent    He “filled in the blanks ” in a most excellent way. He must have had fun with that. @nerys  The Thick of It is good for a laugh if you can find it. I got it at my library.

@ps1l0v3y0u   The Mondasion Cybermen are really horrifying because they show so clearly what or who they used to be. So human and yet they are monsters like Frankenstein’s creature. As much as you feel pity for them you are repulsed and frightened by them. Great episodes.

@ps1l0v3y0u     I loved The Thick of It  and particularly Malcolm. The contempt he had for idiots and incompetents and the way he expressed that contempt was delicious. I learned some totally new swears ,things I’d never heard before and I worked in a bar for 6 years. Peter was perfect as usual.

@thane16    Thanks for the kind words. Our little man is now 8lbs and growing. He is a very contented baby.

I have visited the ospreys , they are very wonderful and so are the people who work hard to protect them and provide them with nesting sites. Thanks and hello to your friend.

We have them nesting on the river but they also needed platforms built because even here we have reduced their habitats and their nesting sites (trees).

We built some bird houses and put them up along the creek and have seen some tree swallows checking them out.Every little bit helps.

@nerys  @dentarthurdent    We spent hours watching black oystercatchers on the shore on Vancouver Island. They were fun to watch as they ran along the rocks looking for food, They are lovely and silly at the same time.

I would love to see a Billie Doc or any Doctor for that matter. Anything to distract me from the stuff that goes on. My old Mom used to say that the world was going to hell in a handbag . I am still not sure exactly what she meant but I think it means …..now. Bring us the Doctor because we really need one.

@janetteb  Well nothing could be nicer than to have maple syrup remind you of me. It is yummy and even here it is expensive so making our own saves a bit but is mostly fun and a way to celebrate trees and spring.

@dentarthurdent    We call that “snirt”  ,  dirty snow.  Happy you didn’t get a bad storm and I hope the rest of your country does as well. We have had rain for days and our creek is high but not flooding yet. We have trumpeter swans, mallard and golden eye ducks and of course Canada geese swimming around the creek and birds are gathering nesting material so spring is sprung!

@nerys The snow is lovely ,white and clean.It sparkles like glitter in the sun and hides all. When it melts there are a couple of weeks of brown. Muddy boring brown, yuck! It makes it so much nicer to see the greens and colours that are finally showing up.

We have been making maple syrup for a couple weeks and are finally done. We got a couple quarts of the sticky sweet stuff, enough for us and the kids. We already had pancakes and it is good. Got to have some useful skills.

@dentarthurdent     I have my water stored in empty soda, juice and camping jugs. Our water is from a well with a filter system so if the power is off for awhile we have to boil it for a few days so its easier to store it.

@nerys  Hello to you!  So you visited my neck of the woods eh?  We did have a lot of snow but last winter was even worse. We actually ran out of room to put it when shoveling the driveway out. We were down to the grass but then it snowed again the other day. Ah winter,we love it.

@janetteb  It snowed on my lovely crocus but they are very hardy, just like us Northerners. Today they opened up and we had an explosion of colours to warm us up.Magical indeed, especially after a long winter. Small miracles bringing great joy. Next will be the snowdrops, scilla , daffodils and then the tulips and  lilacs. I could go on forever about flowers but I won’t.Never feel guilty about enjoying someone else’s gardens, we gardeners love nothing better.

@dentarthurdent   I am glad you are going to visit you daughter and the pine forest. We are going to see ours this summer on Vancouver Island  and I love to walk in the rain forest with trees so big and old and beautiful that they make me cry. I have been known to hug them.

We are in a rural area and we lose our power a few times a year although the last one was the longest outage we have had in many years.Mind you the ice storm was the worst I have ever seen. We try to always be prepared with lighting , food and water because our pump doesn’t work without power. We used to plan for 4 days without power but now I plan for 10 days. The biggest problem was boredom but we did catch up on the current music from our little battery powered radio as well as keeping in touch with the news. This time the old timey phone quit and of course the misters phone needed charging so that was a pain. I only bother with the old timey phone and may soon become the last person in Canada that doesn’t have a cell phone. But that topic is for another day.

stay calm and carry on

[winston @replies]

@janetteb  @dentarthurdent     Hello! Nice to see you.  I am so panicky about my favourite shows and movies that I have them on my computer and on DVDs and then I can watch whenever I want.

I do have a tablet so I can download books from my library and I really like it. If a storm is coming I get extra books and some audio books to entertain me during blackouts. Mind you the last was 8 days long and I ran out of books before it was over.Luckily I also have a big library at home that only requires lantern light to work. Mainly I use the tablet because I need large print and the library has a limited amount of large print books. I think I have read most of them.

Your summer is coming to an end and my spring is just beginning.There were dozens of crocus open in the garden and we have a lot of migrating ducks and swans stopping in our creek for some food and rest before going even further north to nest. I love spring! After such a long,long winter it so nice to go outside without 3 layers of clothing on. Hope you like you fall as much.

@nerys  @blenkinsopthebrave  @janetteb     Thank you all for your congrats!  The little man is doing fine and seems contented with his life so far. The first time I met him and held him he was just too tired to open both eyes. One eye opened for a second and then…well he was sooo tired he closed it again. Life is tiring. I tell his parents to enjoy it while they can.

Today it was a balmy 12c and yet we have so much snow that it caused snow fog that rose over the fields like a movie effect. It felt like any moment some White Walkers or an army would suddenly appear through the mist. Awesome!

@dentarthurdent    The best thing about our winter deep freeze is the lack of bitey and stingy creatures.No sharks here but huge snapping turtles and leaches are enough to keep me out the water. Any huge mysterious splashes would send me running to my house.

@thane16   I loved water skiing when I was younger but it was just for fun and I fell a lot. If you want to play hockey you have to skate backwards and I loved hockey so I learned. I only played with my brother and cousins on a pond but it was fun and painful.Oh, to be young and made of rubber again.

Good rant alert.

We all know that the climate is wrong, at least all of us who don’t benefit from denial.Weather is wrong here and there and we know it because we live it, we see it and we suffer because of it.

@thane16    Congrats to the Australian team and all the other countries participating and of course “Go Canada” . I love the winter games and I admire  the athletes who give their all in their sport. Although I live here in the snowy north I have never down hill skied but I have and do cross country ski. I loved skating but we haven’t had a rink made for a few years and figure or speed were never my thing. Falling is more my thing. So I really do admire the athletes.

@dentarthurdent    I saw your bad weather on the news and I am happy all is good with you. The closest I come to swimming is soaking my cold feet in a steaming tub of water.Ahhhh. Like you I dislike stepping in the muddy and weedy bottom although here it is a lake.We were  on Vancouver Island last summer but I did not swim in the Pacific. It was too cold and too angry.

I tiled a small area under my wood stove in the fall and it was a pain in the ass, and that was a flat floor. Yours must have been harder. I bought the wrong grout too but I was so sick of the job by then I used black on my white faux marble floor tiles instead of getting white.  Oh well, it is only a 3×4 ft area and it doesn’t look bad. I am sure yours will look good especially as you got the right colour. It is kind of you to take care of your father in laws grave.

Good rant!

@dentarthurdent    I am reaching out to you from the frosty depths of Ontario, Canada . So very cold even bitey. I am happy to “see” you and hope all is great with you.

Rogue is not bad but not a favourite and I agree on the been there ,done that theme. I guess there are just so many ways an alien can live amoung us while plotting our downfall. What is the use of having a birds head and not having the best bit,the wings and the ability to fly. I am looking at you penguins and kiwis.

I am not in a very serious Who mood today but just pleased to talk to someone. When it gets this cold I just hunker down and stay inside where it is warm , baking stuff and then eating it. I tell myself I need the calories to stay warm.

Tomorrow is my father in-law’s 95th birthday so we will be spending Valentines Day with a very old sweetie.

Happy Valentines Day

@angleonashton  Hello!  A big welcome to the site!  The Doctor does age although it takes a long time. In Time of the Doctor the 11th stays in one place for a very long time and ages naturally. I can’t say more , Spoilers! You will get there.

I don’t think (although others do) that you have to watch classic to enjoy new Who but it will fill in some gaps and give you a better understanding of new Who. Every now and then I watch a few episodes of classic and usually enjoy them and learn a new thing about the Doctor. It is fun to see the origin of some Who things like jelly babies, Daleks and the Tardis. have fun watching.

@thane16     Happy New Year!  Congrats on conducting, it sounds exciting.

I give up on resolutions because I hate starting a new year with abject failure. It is hard to stay fit in the winter unless there is a gym or pool nearby or you like winter sports. These are a negative for me. I will admit that I am afraid of falling and hurting my leg again so my exercise is mostly indoors now. No skiing or skating for awhile yet but I still can’t resist making snowmen when the snow is right.

We are still waiting for Disney to air War between Land and Sea so I am waiting patiently to watch it. I love Russel Tovey.

@dentarthurdent      I have hundreds of LPs  and someday I will have to sort them all and sell most of them. They take up a lot of space and I usually listen to CDs now. There are some I can never part with and Dark Side of the Moon is one of them as well as Queen II  both I bought when I was a teen, so many years ago. Lovely covers and great music inside.

Does anyone make new years resolutions? I have the usual ones like getting into better shape and finding time for myself and for a few weeks I will really try but then……….oh well.I hope you have more willpower than I do.

A whole year of waiting for more Who seems like cruel and unusual punishment but like so many things in life it is out of my control so I wait patiently. kind of.

@nerys    Covid did bring out the beast of us and the worst of us.  There have always been racists ,bigots and haters of all shapes and sizes here in Canada and around the world but the rest of us told them they were dispicable and held them accountable. When the big orange menace emerged from the muck he took a big stick and lifted up the rock they were all hiding under.He made them very brave. The other day we saw a pick -up truck with a big sign that read “F@#k all liberals!”. What and why? I mean all of us,even me? You don’t even know me. So stupid.

@ps1l0v3y0u  I watched it this afternoon and I enjoyed it again. The same things made me smile like the lemonade tap and the hammocks and the same things made me cry. It was a good romp through the wardrobe into an acid rain storm.

Madge is fierce and I love it! She even manages to put the Doctor in his place, next is the naughty step for him.

Everything is better with a little Bill Baily in it.

The only thing I actively dislike is the line “happy crying, humany -wumany” I really wish he had not written that line or even thought it. I actually look away so I don’t see Matt Smith’s shame.

Other than that i like it and I think it is very Christmassy-wismassy.

I finally got to watch this 2 parter again and found I still liked the good parts and still think the Slitheen are a bit silly. Not that they aren’t menacing and scary at times but the farting was silly and after awhile ,annoying. The older I get the more I feel for Jackie who has no idea where her  daughter is for a whole year and Mickey who was suspected of harming Rose. a bad year for them. The farting aliens says ” childrens show” but the poor little pigman being killed and the murderous Slitheen who kill you than wear you like a coat definately says “adults”. Kill or hurt an animal in a show and my kids (a long while ago) would have been upset and angry at me for “making” them watch it.

I enjoyed the humour in this episode like the interaction between the Doctor and the child and the Doctor and everyone else. The Doctor gets slapped! Vinegar is the Slitheens natural enemy. I once made pickles I called Anti-Slitheen green beans. The Whovians in the family groaned loudly at the name.

Overall I enjoyed these episodes.

@janetteb  @whohar       I am not sure how I feel about this.  There was such high hopes for RTD’s  return and everything seemed to go wrong. There are so many reasons and I am not sure it was all his fault but I guess like the captain of a ship…

There was a lot of really good stuff  in the last couple of series and the 15th Doctor was excellent .

Any way I guess we will find out eventually  what is happening ,and until then we are left guessing and hoping about the future of the Doctor. We can also make mad theories and Doctor wish lists and that is fun.

It was a cold and rainy evening here, perfect for a spooky Halloween but horrible for the little trick or treaters.  While we don’t get a lot of the little weeners here because we live “in the country” we usually get 10 or so. Tonight we had a total of 2 kids begging for candy. One was a scary Micheal Myers  and the other was an 80s girl complete with leg warmers and big hair. They got a lot of candy but not enough. I now have to eat all this candy so it doesn’t go to waste. Poor me but someone has to do it.

I hope you all have a spooky night and that your little ones get loads of candy.

I watched this again and liked it even more than the first time. This feels so Victorian and  Dickensian with its dark rooms lit by gas lights and the horses and streets and a spooky funeral home. The dead are walking.Not all aliens are  honest. The Doctor has to save Rose and Dickens tags along to help.

I actually added this episode to my Christmas Who list and I have loved it every time.

On to episode 4

[winston @replies]

I watched it again and enjoyed it all over again. It was strange to take Rose to the end of Earth and even a little cruel but maybe he was testing her. If she could handle this event and all the aliens maybe she was a good choice of companions. Maybe he was trying to show her how sad he was about Gallifrey. Maybe he doesn’t think at all. He does have a very cheeky grin.

Great looking aliens , nasty selfish baddie, lovely selfless tree lady and little robots zooming around what’s not to like.

On to the past with episode 3.

stay strong

[winston @replies]

@janetteb  Yes, all the episodes. I actually don’t mind Kill the Moon or Love  and Monsters. In fact I like the Who fans who meet to discuss the Doctor but soon become friends and even more. They all had a cruel ending. I don’t enjoy the episodes where the Doctor “dies” and regenerates ,  too sad for me. The cruelty of the cybermen also creeps me out and Oxygen, that one gave me bad dreams. But I will watch them all this time,some for only the 2nd time and some too many times to count.

I only wish I was watching them all for the 1st time.

@dentarthurdent  I have watched Rose so many times that half the time I was only listening. Plus after peeling them I let my food processor chop them up for me. I made 8 pints of salsa while watching it. I have been canning for many years so it just kind of happens.Today I made red current jelly. So good in the middle of a cold winter.

@ps1l0v3y0u I don’t know why the Doctor seemed to regenerate into Billie Piper but you can bet I literally clapped my hands and squeeeed in surprise and delight. Who nose how long we have to wait to find out?

stay cozy

[winston @replies]

I have decided to watch every episode of new Who starting with Rose and ending with 15s regeneration into Rose. Feels like a good circle to follow. I am going to watch them all, even the ones I don’t like so much and the ones that scare me. I will watch the silly ones and the impossible ones and in order. This is my quest for the coming winter.

Canning a whole bunch of tomatoes can be boring what with the peeling ,chopping ,cooking and bottling but not if you watch Doctor Who while you do it. Today I watched Rose and that set me on my journey.It is just so good even after 20 years. I still love it and I remember how I was glued to the TV the first time I watched it. I was hooked on Who from that moment on. I can’t wait to watch the next episode just like the first time around.

@janetteb  @ps1l0v3y0u     Libraries are great. I love our local library, in fact I could live in the library surrounded by books and archives and dvds. Ours now lends out life preservers and park passes and gives weekend craft kits to kids. They give tech help which I have needed now and then. They also have a Lego club! My librarians help me get all the Doctor Who dvds. As I said ,it is a great place.

My other favourite place is my local charity shop where I have found 3 Who coffee mugs in the last few weeks. One Daleks, one with the 11th and yesterday one with the 13th Doctor. Who is the other Whovian in town ? Why are they giving away their collection ? Is someone else giving them away and why? A Who mystery in my small town.
