What's this? An extra episode? Yes, folks. This is just something short. A little commentary of me talking about episode one of "The Mind Robber". But just episode one. Let the nostalgic vibes begin!

Half Marathon Training: Run 34 - This week it’s 7K. So this felt like a step up again. It was a grotty, cold and grey day so I opted for a very simple circuit for me to run. I took it nice and steady and was happy with my time. Next week I increase my distance again…

All my Dresden books lined up together. 😍 I’m taking Twelve Months slowly because I want to savour it for as long as I can. There’s no telling when the next book will be out.

Sat on the bus and the driver is trying to chat to me but I can’t understand a word he’s saying because it’s too noisy and he’s sat in a small, contained compartment. 😂 I’m just nodding and saying “yes” and “exactly” when he pauses…

I don’t know…I thought the Masters of the Universe trailer was pretty fun. But then again I’m just a casual viewer who fondly remembers the show from my childhood. Not a “fan”.

Although I wish trailers would stop using that boom-boom-boom-boom drum beat all the time. You know the one I mean…

It's been a loooong time since I wrote a blog post. But here's a new one. It involves 60's Doctor Who and a heavy dollop of nostalgia.

It's been a while since I wrote a blog, but I'm going to try and compose one anyway. Only a year or so ago I finished a  Doctor Who  rewatch...

And so it’s finally here! 🤩 It’s been over five years since the last Dresden book (and about four years since I read it). I’m so excited. The Dresden Files is one of my favourite ever series and this has been a long time coming. I’ve missed Harry and the gang. Book 18 - here we go!

No new episode this week as myself and Jeff’s 13th Doctor journey is over. All commentaries (plus extra episodes) are now available to listen to.

Thank you once again for everyone’s support! We’ll be back soon with season 18!

Half Marathon Training: Run 33 - My short run of the week. Just a 5K. And it was bloody miserable out there! Drizzly and damp. But I was very happy with my pace and time. Next week my long run moves up to 7K.

I forgot how much I love Rufus Wainwright, especially this one.

"Baby I know that you're too sad to cry
But my little darling guess what?
So am I
Still I believe we ought to shed a tear
The open hearted have no thing to fear"

Half Marathon Training: Run 32 - No map today cos my bloody Fitbit watch just decided to randomly die about 300 metres from the end. Fully charged as well. Grrr. But it was 6K. Honest!
