Did I mention I’d seem my doctor, just recently?
I saw my doctor, just recently.
I have to admit to feeling just a touch tireder than I should be, to be frank.
Practically falling
The net result?
I have to go back …
After having a lot of bloodtests.
Hopefully?
It’ll be nothing more serious my under-active thyroid getting less active!

Here’s a thought from the First Doctor, himself …
“It may seem like hindsight now, but I just knew that Doctor Who was going to be an enormous success. Don’t ask me how. Not everybody thought as I did. I was universally scoffed at for my initial faith in the series, but I believed in it. It was magical.”William Hartnell, 8 January 1908 – 23 April 1975.
The original version of the theme tune …
Oh …
And some cheese …
Today’s questions till be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* Yes, I keep reading about some of the older, still used, cinemas, Olga: they can be little gems! I think the nearest one to Brentwood is in North London, somewhere. I just wish we had one in town. (There’s been talk of building a multi-screen one in town. But the one local government that looked it was going to approve one … didn’t stay in office for long enough.) As for fires … ?! Did I ever mention I used to work in the local KFC? The fire suppression system were extensive. (And I get the impression the cooking oil used had a lot of edible additives: in part to make sure it was less flammable.)
† Might JUST be an idea, Debbi … ! Oh, sorry about I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek, that much cheese this time of the morning/evening/afternoon/night, can be a bit … yeah, I’ll just keep quiet, shall I … ? (Um … you’re looking at me, funny, Debbi … … … )

Yes. There are some new multiscreen cinemas in my mother's neighbourhood (soon to be mine again) in new shopping malls. They are not bad but lack character. Happy Dr Who's Day! (As we don't celebrate Thanksgiving). KFC... I remember when they opened a shop in Sants, in the neighbourhood in Barcelona. They got there before MacDonalds, and I remember it was very exciting at the time. As I don't eat meat now I haven't visited in years but I remember going at the time. The quality seemed to drop very quickly but...
Do take care. I hope the tests are all OK.
Cheesy is fun! And Doctor Who is awesome! :)
Do you think an American writer can do justice to the Doctor Who series? (She asked, nervously!) :)
