Half Marathon Training: Run 17 - That’s my short run done for the week. Just a 5K along the seafront. I’m due for a slightly shorter (but still long one) on Sunday and then a 6K. Also got a run or two planned for when I’m in the US.

What’s this? Jim visiting Salem when he’s in the US…? 🧙‍♀️

I'm almost at the end of season 5 of my Lost rewatch, and while I really enjoy all the DHARMA content, one thing that's been a bit frustrating is the limited focus on the actual scientific experiments the group conducts on the island. I wanted to see more of the science in action!

I still remember when I was 16 and me and the family moved house. We bumped into the former owner in the street and she said, rather ominously…

“Does the spider still live there…?”

Happy 8th birthday to my beautiful boy! Jacob continues to amaze me and make me proud every single day.

Also…8?!! Where on Earth have those years gone?!😱

As we’re about to head into the final third of the Jodie era, we just wanted to say a big thanks to all the comments, retweets and likes over the last six months.

And fear not, @jeffgoddard.bsky.social and I have some exciting plans for when this era is over…

Half Marathon Training: Run 16 - Long run completed. This evening it was a very dark 10K. I decided to run blindly through some streets I didn’t know at all before ending along the seafront. Legs hurt. I’ve got a headache. But I feel good. 🙂

I’m up to season 5, specifically “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham”, on my Lost rewatch and, bloody hell, I forgot how tragic Locke’s life really is. It’s heartbreaking. I was a huge fan of the character back in the day.

I HATE what Ben does to him. 😢

Its all kicking off, but the defence drones will keep us in our place as Jim and I tackle not only Revolution of the Daleks, but our rankings for S12 as a whole. Will we crumple your favourite episodes like a superfluous TARDIS? Listen here to find out!

Get it in your ears now because tomorrow we’ll be getting to grips with the Daleks…!
