When the high point of your day has been the fire drill, surely that must be proof if proof were needed that it's time to get out of there -- and I'll take steps to secure my getaway right after the tour ends. I'm suffering from delayed reaction to the shock of not getting the Secret Service job. I was more or less alright, if slightly incredulous, last week; but this week has just crawled past. I hate having to get up and get on the train again every morning, and now that another season's started, I'm usually halfway to my destination already before sunrise -- I hate having to leave home in what feels like the middle of the night, and it isn't even full-on winter yet!
On second thought...that fire drill might not have been today's best bit, after all...but no! I can't be crushing on my physiotherapist, even if he's attractive, single and a terrible flirt -- can I?
I wonder what's keeping my copy of Back to the Vortex: the Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Doctor Who 2005, which I ordered from the Telos website over a week ago. Every day I hurry home in anticipation, and each day I'm disappointed. Oh well. Perhaps it'll be here tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Eric's very quietly released his solo album. I'll very quietly wait until I see him (only two more weeks!) before purchasing it.

- 6 Aug 2020, 01:54That must have been so hard, on both of you! Now she can settle in and you can relax.
I feel your pain - it took me weeks to clean Frank's room. - 8 Jul 2020, 12:16It must be a relief to have seen her sitting and chatting.
I wish you well with the house clearing. I'm not sure if this is helpful - but it took my sister and I at least one full day a week for a… - 8 Jul 2020, 09:11Oh my goodness! I can just feel that horrible sinking in the pit of the stomach when you realised and there was nothing you could do about it.
- 8 Jul 2020, 01:03I'm glad the move went so well. It sounds like it might be a great place for her.

p.s- Wanna go see Serenity in Glasgow ?!??!?
Sure! Yes! Fantastic! When?
Thursday week ? NO WAY....oh wait a tiny weeny second. Thats Collectormania right ?
Wait -- did I miscalculate? Counting the days off on my fingers...and checking my diary...no, I make it exactly 2 weeks to London! Collectormania's next Sunday already -- and I'm not going to be there. Conventions aren't my thing really, and MK is even less of one, so it's just London and Glasgow for me this time.
Yup just 8 days to MK now - not sure if I'm looking forward to C8 or not yet ... I'm sure I'll warm up to it once I arrive - Saturday night's (much more than!) fine of course but the rest of it .. I could take or leave at the moment
Provided we won't have to make a mad dash for Manchester or Liverpool or bloody Stornoway, Sunday sounds fine to me! ;-)
And yes, I'm flying out of London (Luton) on Monday evening -- wish I could stay longer, but at least I'll be back for the JM thing Oct 29th, and I'm working on getting myself invited to stay in town for a while...
My friend can't join us on Saturday night, I'm afraid -- prior engagement or something.
your friend has folk avoidance! shame.
and guess what ..typical - takes me not to have any accomodation for Friday at C8 to realise I REALLY wanted to go that day too!
Ooops, no missed that...but have seen it now. So yeah, Serenity on Sunday, then?
Seriously, I haven't yet seen anything in the papers or on the web that appeals to me; but something's bound to turn up soon, and then I will 'get my arse in gear' as you so eloquently put it. Meanwhile, I'm keeping everything crossed that you will find something suitable too, and soon.
And then also register some surprise to randomly come across another Dutch Dr Who fan :-)

By all means! I still love it to bits and I've had it for ages -- the wonderful

We are in a bit of a minority, aren't we? I'm glad to make your acquaintance! I see you write Whovian fic, too...Mind if I friend?
Frankly, I'm a bit surprised none of the Dutch channels have picked up on the new series yet, since they're so good at buying everything else the Beeb has on offer -- but then, I seem to remember that years ago, they took the Fourth Doctor off the screen because his adventures were deemed too scary for cildren's television. Unfortunately for me, it was already too late: the seed had been planted, and I've been following the good Doctor's exploits ever since! ;-)
Not at all. Go ahead and I'll reciprocate. :-)

Uh, Ned 3 *has* picked it up, I believe it was one of the first foreign channels to do so. They'll be broadcasting it starting sometime in January 2006, according to Outpost Gallifrey.
I'm still too young to have seen the Tom Baker episodes that were broadcast (when, exactly?). But I'm a huge anglophile and I've been reading SFX magazine for over a year now, and it infected me :-)
I did get to see a few TB episodes though, and I saw him in Randall&Hopkirk (deceased). Great guy, and he has a lovely voice.

Really? That's wonderful news! (I really should pay more attention to what goes on in 't Gooi and Aalsmeer -- but somehow, I just can't be bothered).
When were the TB episodes broadcast in Holland, you ask. A good question, that. I think it must have been around '74-'75, 'cause I remember my sister and me watching it in colour, and we were the last to get a colour TV in the world, I think!
Yep, definitely before my time. But I think it was a little later than that, because BF does remember watching Dr Who, and while he's older than me, not that much older.
Hmm, according to this site, it was '74-'75, and the Peter Davison episodes in '84.
