Surely @bbcwpress can’t be so short-sighted as to spend years releasing classic #DoctorWho DVDs but stop 1 episode short? #SaveTheFishPeople

In Absentia

One period of busy has been replaced by another and I have continued neglecting this blog. Sorry. On the plus side, I have been writing. Just not here, obviously. Sorry again.

In my absence, something I wrote for Buzzfeed has reached over 10,000 views.

Watching #Cucumber. Is it wrong that when I realised Henry works at HC Clements, as Donna did in #DoctorWho and wondering if it's canon?

The Bronze is trending. Wasn't it destroyed along with the rest of #Sunnydale? Why isn't the Magic Box or the high school library trending?

Driven

Alongside planning a wedding, I have also been learning to drive. Not getting around to it at the age of seventeen and then years of living in London, meant it sort of passed me by.

Moving up the country, and indeed into the country, meant driving has become a necessity. So in December, last year I began learning to drive. It's harder than it looks that driving lark. My years of being a passenger hadn't prepared me as much as I expected.

After a mere sixth months of lessons and a lot of doubt that I could do it, I took my test the other day. I was convinced I'd failed and I think that was my saving grace, because I relaxed. I began treating it like just another lesson, albeit a very expensive lesson. I couldn't quite believe it when he said I'd passed.

So, look out road users of Britain, guess who passed their driving test today?

(it was me...)

Just watched #Alien. Crikey, I love this film. The moral of the story seems to be: shut the door behind you and don't get a cat.
