Happy 62nd anniversary of Doctor Who to all those who celebrate.

The neighbours have their Xmas lights up. The street resembles a scaled down Blackpool illuminations. Fingers crossed they take them down before January 16th this time. It was starting to get embarrassing

New season 3 pic of Daemon!

New s3 pic of Rhaenyra!

HotD has got its fourth season! The story will be told to the end!

44 revolutions around the sun today.

Cassie is feeling well enough that she's starting to milk it a little - because clearly I haven't lavished enough attention on her these past 18 1/2 years! 🤣

I love wrapping up & going out for a walk with the dog on a crisp, cold autumn morning. Evidently many others in my vicinity feel the same way. And then there’s the inevitable mad bastard that has to do it in shorts. Only in Scotland 😆

Not long to go now. Festive Fallout cometh soon!!

Quick Cassie update: For the first time since Sunday she is asking for food. Ok, technically she’s what she’s asking for is chicken. But she’s wanting & eating it, so I’m counting that as a win.

We are back from the vet. She thinks it’s gastroenteritis- due to her age, she’s having a harder time with it. She thinks it’s worth giving her a chance to recover from it. So…one anti sickness jab and a course of antibiotics later, we are home. We’ll see what the next few days bring us.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Ok….last night went better than I expected. Better than Sunday night. She was sick this morning, but only once & she’s drinking & keeping it down. Which is an improvement. She’s got a vet appt for 11am. We will see what the lay of the land is. Perhaps antibiotics will give her what she needs.

I think my little old cat is in her final days. She’s nearly 19. It’s been an abrupt downturn. On Saturday, she was right as rain, ruling the roost with an iron paw. I’ll see how she goes over the next day or two. She could still rally. But honestly? I think the time is near I’m not ready 😭

I always feel like I’m being watched….because I am! 😂

#InterviewWithTheVampire #TheVampireLestat #iwtv Birthday Boy Lestat appears in a new teaser shared by @annerice.amc.com!

Just found out I will be getting my Covid jabs from now on! I don’t qualify as a carer- despite the fact I’m the sole carer for 2 disabled pensioners, one of whom is immune compromised- but it turns out I qualify in my own right due to the fact I had major heart surgery as a child Happy days!

The house down the road doesn’t just have their Xmas decorations up- they’re lit up like the Blackpool Illuminations. On the plus side, I don’t need to take a torch with me when I take the dog out for his last pee at night! 😂

It’s Bonfire Night once more and you know what that means. I hate fucking fireworks. They started at 5:30 and will likely go on for hours because every idiot thinks they need their own personal display. These morons will set the forest on fire

So from what I understand, last night was a good result across the board for the democrats. Trump won’t be happy about any of this

Got to listen to the finale of the Khan audio and I really hope Trek gets the opportunity to do more audios- especially if they’re if this quality. If you haven’t listened, I’d really urge you to give it a shot.

We have street lights again! For the first time in 3 days I can see the other side of the street at night- yes, it’s that dark here. The council actually got their shit together for once

B5. Then, now and always one of the best shows in sci fi.

Every single street light in my area has gone out. It’s darker than a rabbit hole out there. All the dogs are going nuts.

Not much guising this year with the crappy weather. It’s always meteorological lottery at this time of year & this time we came up short. But I did see 2 angels on scooters, a ninja & a Freddie Mercury

Dear #WoTSkies, In this Age, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, we will #SaveWoT and #TheWheelOfTime will come back to screens. Happy WoTerday mornaftevenight! ❤️ #ThankYouRafe

I keep seeing this ridiculous rhetoric that there are no female Trek fans. That it’s the province of men. That’s bullshit. I’ve been a fan all my life. My mum has been a fan since TOS. Women helped keep Trek alive. Women are an active, contributing part of this fandom. We aren’t going anywhere

Why is it only Tuesday?! It feels like it should be at least Thursday.

Another successful trip to the cancer hospital. Mum continues to do well in that area- 4 years cancer free. She’s still got another 6 years of observation to go, but so far so good.

My mom got me into Trek when I was a kid and most Trek fans I know/ encounter are women. And the lead of my Star Trek show was a woman, as was the captain of the ship. So shut the fuck up.

It’s going to be a LONG wait!

Trans people having what they need to survive, living fulfilling lives and just simply existing takes nothing at all away from us Cisgender folks. In fact, it doesn’t affect us at all. So why are you transphobic idiots protesting them? Grow up and go do something productive. #TransLivesMatter

Evidently I now need to be closely monitored to ensure there are no further missteps that could delay her feeding schedule 😆

1/ This morning, while getting the cat’s food, I tripped and smacked the shit out of my big toe. Naturally, I did what any responsible adult would do: I stopped mid-task, halfway through prepping the wet food for Cassie, sat down & waited for the blinding pain to subside.

My morning walk. I half expected Brigadoon to emerge spontaneously from the depths! 😆

To whatever fuckwit is setting off fireworks TWO WEEKS before Bonfire Night, I wish you explosive diarrhoea while stuck in traffic.

Four pages of dragon sketches.

Trek rant of the day. Trek wasn’t ‘destroyed’ by DS9, DSC or PIC because they showed the flaws that exist in the federation. Star Trek is about reflection — a mirror held up, not only to who we are, but to who we want to become. 1/

Ok…I’m finally doing it. I’m finally doing the WoT Kramer/Reading audiobooks. I’d only listened to the NS one up to this point, but it’s time - after multiple physical read throughs, it’s time to do this.

It’s mid term break here in Scotland. So all the crotch goblins are off school. Most of them are great…and then there’s my neighbour’s 2 grandsons. Those boys are the best advert for birth control I’ve ever seen. Roll on end of the holiday 😩

This

I can be completely normal about this…oh who am I kidding?! 🤩

The new laptop has arrived and has been set up. I’m once again ready to rejoin the 21st century

Of all the idiotic British political takes, perhaps the most stupid is that Liz Truss got yeeted because of misogyny. She wiped billions off of the UK economy almost overnight you fools and people are still paying the price for it. Her gender has nothing to do with it

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

The good news: I got a new laptop - and it was in the autumn sale, so it’s a better one than I maybe could have got otherwise The bad news: the store didn’t have it in stock, so it won’t be delivered til Friday. The computer gods giveth and they taketh away 😂
