Beautiful snowshoe up the Quoich today. I was out to snap my winter pics for a number of seasonal fixed-point photos I'm steadily assembling....but I gave up half way through when the heavy stuff started again. No matter, there's always tomorrow 🙂

I can personally vouch for how warm and snug these hats are.

Highly recommended!
Getting your coat on won't be enough tomorrow. Commence operation Santo Domingo Bobble.

I always remember my dad telling me his memories of the missing Doctor Who stories. For example he remembers the condensation dripping down the TARDIS walls in Marco Polo.

And it got me thinking - how nice would it be to have a book collecting memories of those that saw the stories. Just a thought.

It’s 14th May 1966 and Everton fans are down in London for the FA Cup Final against Sheffield Wednesday. These lads have spotted Mohammed Ali in his training session in Hyde Park as part of his preparation for his fight against Henry Cooper. It was definitely a memorable day for those Everton fans.

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen a Kingfisher irl. Thrilled to get an opportunity to watch this little fella zipping & glittering his way up and down the Water of Leith this morning.

Resolved to eat more of a plant based diet this year? Doing Veganuary? Or have you ever wondered how Doctor Who fares when it comes to vegetarianism and veganism? Well have I got the new year's Substack post for you!

27 years ago today, my friend Neil and I visited a film collector to follow up a rumour that he possibly had a lost episode of Doctor Who. The rest is history.

Resorting to retail therapy to try and cheer myself up.

Now, my attention span is pitiful at best, but I was suitably invested enough to finish the first of the stories in @lucymccaul.bsky.social’s excellent Benton & Hawthorne book in one sitting!

Lovely stuff!

Coming up on Monday. We’ve had space comedy, then war time drama. Now it’s time for something quite different!

We’re off to Wentworth Detention Centre!
