Sleepy has missed reminding everyone on BlueSky about #DoctorWho related things! 😊🐕
Sleepy's asked me to remind everyone that there's a remastered version of The Sea Devils on BBC4 at 7pm.
And then the spin-off The War Between Land And Sea on BBC1 at 8:30pm!

So some so called Trekkies are having a wobbly over the Starfleet Academy poster. At least they never did that over Deep Space Nine or TNG....oh never mind.

#FrugalFellows. Try to remember when the festive season piles more SH** on you that it seems you can cope with your kids WILL still remember it as a magical time. It's not your fault you can't buy them everything or even anything. Take them to see the lights not the shops! #Resist again next year!

As December approaches, thought it's a good time to reshare this post about Christmas traditions from last year... 😀
It's amazing how many Christmas "traditions" are fairly new - which adds a different perspective/mindset.
Even stuff from Victorian times is 100+ years, rather then ancient traditions!
Basically, do what YOU want for Christmas, rather than trying to have a perfect Christmas like everyone else! 😀🎅🌲
