*or wands to give them their alternative name

I've decided to make a collection of sonic screwdrivers* all the way back to Troughtons cat toy.

Capaldi's has just arrived. It's *huge*, puts Matt Smiths to shame. After this they became Jodies wobbly thing and Ncutis shoe, so clearly this was the final straw. Did Tennant have same one 2nd time?

I just tried to use Instagram to post a picture. How late noughties of me. Anyway, some Arts - I have been getting into drawing/colour lately despite being absent talent.

In order:

The Titan Emerges from Kaos

I just sat in the toilet and had a quiet little cry.

Bjornaer has taken to the shape of her heart one last time, and will come no more among us.

So then that was season three of Yellowjackets. Sagged a bit in the middle but picked up pace at the end. Still keeping me engaged. Best series about girls playing football ever.

Been saving this for an emergency.

Time for unreliable narrator wendigo lord of the flies dual timeline cannibal Carcosa fun.

It's Yellowjackets season 3 time.

I am 54 today. And a bit numb.

2 days ago I opened LinkedIn - first time in ages - to discover I had missed the diagnosis and rapid decline of a friend across the pond.

Today, I recieve news of another old friend now in hospice care.

3 simple facts. I thought it important to make a record.

I am now therefore leaving behind me the Welsh March and crossing the spine of the country in a 1970s bus welded to rail dollies.

The return tomorrow is Transpennine Express, a service so hilariously bad it even makes Northern look like a paragon of efficiency. Pray for me. (2/2)

Due to being temporarily carless, trip to Leeds this evening is via the Romance of Rail. My CB to Chester train was, predictably five minutes late into Chester, giving me exactly zero minutes to make my Northern connection to Leeds. Good old reliably bad Northern were running ten minutes late. (1/2)

It only hurts when I laugh or fart. That's 80% of my life.

I am recovering from a nasty RTA Thurs night. -Just bumps and bruises for me, car leas fortunately. Sadly my key injury is badly bruised ribs, hence...

Normal service is now resumed; thank you for your indulgence.

That's some mad falsetto live. That's Jamie Irrepressible class. #eurovision

#eurovision Morticia Addams seems unusually perky tonight.

Our entry appears to be three young girls who seem to me a little young to have their dreams executed on live television. #eurovision

Well. So that's Andor then. Dunno why we were worrying about those death troopers in the Mandalorian, should have had a bunch of KX series instead.

Oh, also, loved the ending, smooth segue.

When the light starts to fail, that caked orange tan starts to shade to jaundiced yellow. The implausible hair makes him seem sometimes crowned, sometimes haloed. The too-long red tie hangs like a tatter. Behind the rictus mask his eyes speak of panic, unreason and Id unchecked.

I have, With great reluctance, just set my text size on my big monitors to 125%. Because I cannot, gentle reader, see a bloody thing. This getting old lark is shit.

Just received some very, very sad news. So farewell then Old Boaty, and safe travels. I had known Nick for 28 years, and never heard him say a bad word about anyone, unless they were playing rugby against Coventry. Sad times.

"Oh Harold, no one could play him like you do"

"No ones going to."

Finally out of Covid jail and able to think straight. Taken five days. Avoid this bout, kids, it's a corker.

To celebrate Easter and my imminent resurrection I am watching Moulin Rouge again. I swear that from narcoleptic Argentinian all the way to Satines first entrance your feet never touch the ground. Everyone on screen is going 110%, I love this film.
