Happy (Belated) 60th Birthday Dr Who
Technically it was on Thursday, but it was also 60 years ago tonight that Dr Whos Tardis arrived on Planet Earth for the first time. We didn't have a TV 60 years ago, however Mum & Dad's closest friends did. They had a girl my age, and a boy 3 years older ... we used to often go there for Saturday evening tea (& they used to come to us, as well).
So, yes, my first memory is of their lounge, and hiding behind the sofa with Stephanie ... we weren't meant to be see it, but Malcolm could ... so, we used to sneak in anyway!! It was definately the first Doctor, William Hartnell, but probably the second season that would bring the memories, as I would have been 3 - 4.
So, we are now up to Doctor #14, or is it #10, and there is a mini-series starting tonight ... and, yes, I shall be there. However on the sofa this time, not behind it!!
This morning I have made some cheese scones for tea ... and some to put in the freezer for another day.
Now I have ironing to do, and still haven't finished writing up my holiday journal, so that's part of the plan for this afternoon.
So, before I post this -
25 - Shopping Reminder Day: Shopping Reminder Day falls roughly a month before Christmas, and as such it’s the perfect reminder to go ahead and get started on all of your holiday shopping. How do you feel about holiday shopping? Do you need a reminder to go shopping for holiday gifts?
I have never needed a reminder, as it would have been Dad's birthday on Monday ... and 3 of my 4 nephews have birthdays next week. So as I start thinking of those I end up automatically thinking Christmas.
26 - Cake Day: Cake or pie? Or something else?
Yes please!!!
Either/both.
However for me pie is "pudding" after a meal, and cake is for tea meals, or snacks (just look at the waistline and you would know that!)
Right, let's get this posted ... it's good to be organised for the weekend ... see you Monday x
