don't blink
Jun. 10th, 2007 01:58 amGorgeous weather today.
Things that happened yesterday that I forgot to mention: I was at the local GP to get a prescription, and was waiting to have it signed, so I took out some knitting I was working on. At which point a rather fat man who was sitting on one of the benches nearby looked across and commented that he did crochet himself.
We spent an enjoyable few minutes discussing the pros and cons of the local wool shops, and how he was working on squares to make quilts for his kids, and added more squares as they got bigger, and so on.
Memo to self: don't judge. You never know.
As to tonight's Doctor Who: lots of fun. Greatly enjoyed. Statues exceptionally creepy, and whole timeline of plot made beautiful sense in retrospect.

The memories swept past her, speeding up into a babble of voices, one voice, every voice. They dashed over her, as she whisked down the time vortex, their personalities washing over her like the tides.
Such impertinence these humans had, bursting in like this! And at such a crucial time! Why, their presence could mean so much. Yes, perhaps it was for the best -- after all, my goodness, there were some horrible things in this universe, things that wouldn't ever be nice to anybody, my word! Humans did get in a pickle sometimes and it was dashed uncomfortable being stuck on one planet with them. It was really quite intolerable, and here was the Minister, on the phone again! It was like some ridiculous cocktail party . . . well, I always did like a party, but if I was holding one I'm sure I wouldn't be invited. Silly sort of things, humans, you know, short life spans, far too few limbs, but still, still! There's something rather charming about them, I think. Absolutely. They're very good company in difficult circumstances and I wouldn't have it any other way. Trying sometimes, but in general, I think they're absolutely splendid! Splendid? Splendid? I have always found them to be trivial, annoying, and unfortunately ubiquitous! I can take them or leave them, preferably the latter. Yes, take them, look after them, use them in games of skill or chance. That's what they'd say, isn't it? Doctor, heal thyself!
"Doctor . . ." Emily found herself saying, "you've lived one hell of a life . . ."
