Doctor Who, SFF, history, and other things I think about far too much
I had intended to write some attempt at a deeply meaningful end of year words, making reflective, insightful comments on the past twelve months. Alas, it's not to be. I'm not entirely sure what happened this year. In my head it remains 1998. (And that's being generous, I have a memory of being in school,…

Usually I try to write something at the end of/very beginning of the year as some sort of vague reflectiveness on the past year. This feels a bit late. And it's really not reflecting all that much on the previous year. But I still wanted to write something to mark the existential despair of having…
Now if you are a BIg Finish fan, you might think "But that release came out months ago." Which is true. But the sentence is still correct, just horribly untimely. I would like to blame Covid. Anyway, my one (and only) contribution to the main range of Big Finish Doctor Who came out in December.…
Oh, I've been meaning to do a Gally (Gallifrey One, the greatest Doctor Who convention in the world) report for, uh, two months now? A long time anyway. In my head it was a beautiful thing, detailed, and effervescent and lengthy. I think I'm going to manage one of those things. For this post will…
And by Christmas films, I mean the films I most love and adore watching during the festive season. Some have snow - I think one might actually have Christmas - most do not. But they are movies I would find Very Weird to watch outside of December. There would be A Wrongness to it. So,…
It’s my Mum’s fault I love Doctor Who. As the show was off the air for most of my childhood, without her maternal influence I might never have discovered just how brilliant it was. I always find Mum’s perspective on Who interesting, or as she would more likely put it *annoyingly* interesting. I managed to…
I did not do Terribly Well with keeping up with lovely weekly links of YAYFUL THINGS that happened that week last year, but FORWARDS. 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…
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…
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.…
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…
