Amused that Trump's lawyers really sent the legal letter to:
BBC Television Centre,
London W12 8QT.

I wonder if they included a self addressed envelope for a reply and called 018118055 to confirm receipt.

He has been upstairs, but we don't talk about that.
Colin the House Dalek is in a double bed with a duvet covering his lower half. Next to him is me, rubbing my eyes as if waking up.

No. Colin insists on riding shotgun.
Coincidentally, he's on the road tomorrow, heading up to Egham for rehearsals.

Fair point. I wheeled our Dalek through Tesco a couple of weeks ago and most people didn't bat an eyelid.

Thank you to everyone involved in creating and organising Worthing's 'Jack on the Green' light festival.

My boys loved it!
My boys sitting in front of a glowing lantern. Ellis discovering the cane and tissue lanterns shaped like robins. Ellis very pleased with his green dinosaur light. A balanced pile of sheep with my boys standing either side.

I've now fallen down the Rel rabbit hole - this Rel counter from the movie Dalek Invasion Earth 2150AD also popped up in Professor Zaroff's laboratory in The Underwater Menace with the Real sticker intact.

Remember to turn back your clocks 3000 rels tonight.

Colin the House Dalek gave up on the oven clock though and exterminated it.
