I started a new (short) series of a playthrough of the CLASSIC 1992 RPG/strategy game Dune, based on the book (and heavily influenced by David Lynch's movie). It's an AWESOME game. And also if you search "the spice must flow" on YouTube I'm number 18. (My most successful tag to date is "you have died…
Saturday Yayfulness Links
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…
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!

Star Wars Rogue One Insta-reaction

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

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…
