Here is a round-up of STUFF that I found QUITE LOVELY this week: 1 - Actual local news! There's been a rather nifty archeological discovery where I live, where archeologists seem…

Five Tom Baker Stories Every Doctor Who Fan Should Watch
I say "should", but y'know, I don't want to gatekeep or the like; you might really not like the Fourth Doctor, in which case, sure, I JUDGE you, but I don't want you to be miserable watching Fourth Doctor stories when you could be having a yayful time watching Pertwee or the Other Baker or…

Two podcasts and an article
Hello, Tuesday, a day of much mist and rain which was LOVELY...it's not quite windy enough to be a STORM but it is getting there. But, yes, things! I was on a couple of podcasts recently, which were tremendous fun and hopefully Quite Nice to listen to: the latest Low Definition, one of the Incomparable…
Star Wars Rogue One Insta-reaction
SPOILERS, obviously. Lots and lots of spoilers. SPOILERS. I just saw the movie and I have to get the words out before they EAT ME. ... SPOILERS, dammit. Right, yes, so I loved it. Almost wholly. It felt like PROPER STAR WARS and also GOOD STAR WARS and it gave me feelings of YAY and…
Doctor Who Buckety List
I failed to make a Friday Flail list so instead (and I totally started writing this on Friday, so it somehow counts against not failing at regular blogging) I give you my DOCTOR WHO BUCKETY LIST. It was supposed to be Bucket List but I typoed and then thought I liked the typo better. ANYWAYS.…
My Amazing Not the Least Bit Embarassing Christmas Playlist
I don't have to make excuses for any of this, even though the desire is strong, IT'S CHRISTMAS.

Who’s the cutest cygnet? (and a new vid!)
So the loch I try and have a daily run by is still frozen over, and some of the swans have taken to investigating the land. And this cygnet came up to me making ridiculously cute noises - I'd no idea swans had cute noises! And I snapped a few pics. (Mummy swan was not…

Friday Flail of Yay
I am sleeping so badly this week. And I know part of it's down to ridic anxiety with the world at large. Not even mental health related anxiety, since I really don't think it's irrational to be anxious given the daily news of what's going on. As my dear friend Deb Stanish put it on…
Holodeck Stories of Win!
This week’s Trek post (it’ll stop soon, it will) is about the most reviled genre of Trek story: the Holodeck episode. after copious and diligent research,* there are three main reasons I’ve found that makes this Trek genre beat out even the dreaded One Episode Romance as Worst Trek Genre: 1) It’s considered lazy writing…
Top Ten Star Trek: the Next Generation
I am in the midst of flu. Not serious flu, the sort of flu that makes you feel utterly miserable and your limbs ache and your head floofy, but not actually bad enough that you can’t wander about and complain heartily about your pitiable condition. Anyway, flu, yes. YAY. So it’s making writing a smidgen…
