4th May, 2024.
Right … it’s the last Saturday before the start of Doctor Who.
That’s next Saturday, so you know: when BBC 1 airs the first two episodes*.
We’ll have to see how that goes, when it comes to the reviews!

I hope they’re enjoyable.

And an song …
Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* The talk is that the third episode of the new series — “Boom”, by Stephen Moffat — will see the Doctor, standing on a landmine.
The last time I saw something like that? Was in 1975’s “Genesis of The Daleks”.
† I’ll be honest, Olga: I based the question on this entry on Wikipedia. That tells us the various bits of paperwork — including the L’Enfant designs — were laid out between 24th January and 9th September, 1791.
Twiglets are definitely popular! I haven’t had a pack for years!
‡ Happy Birthday, Mum!
§ I think you’re ahead, Debbi! And you’d think it would twinned with London, wouldn’t you … ?

Do you guys get the show Ghosts there? It's about a house haunted by ghosts from different eras, who can't leave the property. And two of them are gay men from opposite sides of the Revolutionary War in America. And they're romantically involved. It's hilarious!
Look it up! :)
