It is 8.30am Sunday and we seem to be watching Episodes 2, 3 and 4 of the new Doctor Who (or is it Dr Who?).<\/p>\n
I’ve read and heard some utter shite spouted about this iteration, but the blindingly obvious truth is that the new Doctor Who is a return to form for this classic piece of British SciFi.<\/p>\n
I love the ‘in’ jokes, the nods towards Star Wars, Independence Day and a massive genuflection towards ‘The Father of Robotics’, Professor Isaac Asimov.<\/p>\n
The weather is vile, it’s hammering down.<\/p>\n
We’re going to have a lazy day, except that Sophie is tackling the mountain of ironing, and I am backing up many websites and databases.<\/p>\n
I think we’re meeting a friend in Witney for coffee; I hope that Costa isn’t the cr\u00c3\u00a8che that it sometimes becomes.<\/p>\n
There needs to be a quick trip up to the yard to give Tom hugs and carrots.<\/p>\n
This evening we’re off to the cinema; Iron Man 2 beckons.<\/p>\n
And in-between these bouts of frenetic activity, there will be Badminton Horse Trials, because the BBC are showing uninterrupted coverage of cross-country on the red button.<\/p>\n
