Dr. Who?

Hello Dear Readers,

Chris has been casting around for a new TV show to get addicted to watch and he has settled on Dr. Who.  Yay! Another fan to share my addiction with.  One of the people I work with at Kew, who also happens to be American has been lending me the ORIGINAL Dr. Who shows to watch, so I'm starting right from the beginning with William Hartnell.  It's fun to have Chris watch the New ones and me watching the old ones to compare and contrast, and of course we have been watching the third Matt Smith (11th Doctor) on Saturday evenings on the BBC. 

One of my other Dr. Who friends (of which there are many, as you can see), Jennifer, has sent me over the years several lovely and clever cross stitches with a Dr. Who theme.  Patrick finally bought a picture frame for an amazing photo of Picadilly circus that Lucy helped me find after a 2 year search, on Portabello road (that was a great shopping day, hot mama!).   Street where the riches of ages are sold indeed! The photo is similar to, but infinitely superior to this one and apparently much harder to find.......where was I? Oh yeah, picture frame.  Pat finally bought one and it came with two mattes inside for either a 5 by 7 or 3 by 5 photo.  I took that bit and made my very own Dr. Who Triptych!!

The top are the old and new Daleks shouting EXTERMINATE! as they are wont to do.  The second is the "ship" the Doctor travels in known as the Time and Relative Dimension In Space, or Tardis (the thread in the window is glow in the dark!) and the last one is the Matt Smith doctor's equivalent phrase of "Rude, not Ginger" which is "Fezzes are cool".  If you don't get it, you simply are not a Who fan.  Shown above in close up, and below in situ, above the new desk that we got to make space in our room for our latest project and the last 90 days or so of my Year of Me. 

Yup, we got P90X to try, which if you don't know is a big intensive 90 day workout program.  We may not finish, we may not get the promised results, but we are going to give it our best shot.  I'm 30, it's about time I see what this old body can do before I get too old and it gets too hard.  Wish us luck!!  If it all goes well I'll have amazing before and after photos to show you at New Years, and if not, well let's just pretend this post didn't happen then, ok?  Also if you don't hear from me, it's either because I'm working out, too tired from working out, or dead from working out.......

Wish us luck!
