After a surprisingly good night’s kip I found
myself woken by having my nose licked. I can take a hint, so I took “Furry
Face TM “for a walk. We were a little later getting going than
usual so I thought I’d brave the park in the hope that the runners had already
done their thing and had gone home. They had. Also being that little bit later
we missed OrangeHead and her chunky little friend.
I then set off to
Folkestone. On my own. ‘er indoors TM had all sorts of things to do; as (so it turned out) had everyone else.
I had wanted to see
the Doctor Who exhibition in Folkestone. The one earlier in the year had been…
well, it had been a disappointment, but it had been a first. I’d hoped today’s
show was going to be bigger and better. I was met from the train by the Rear
Admiral and we made our way directly to where it was all happening.
As we walked there
was a minor commotion. A woman was lying collapsed on the pavement. There were
people with her seeing to her. I felt rather guilty walking past, but I couldn’t
have done anything to help.
We soon found the
exhibition where I was warmly greeted by the Cyber-Leader who (it turned out) is a person who is
actually on my Facebook list. We chatted for a bit, then he went on to terrorising
the children. It was good to be on first name terms with a Cyber-Leader, but
today’s show was something of a disappointment. What was done had been done
well, but there was only two cybermen, a dalek, K9, and a sickly-looking
Davros. We gave it five minutes then wandered off. We listened to the Gospel
choir singing carols for five minutes, then went round to the Firkin alehouse
for a pint or two of lunch.
Kipp’s alehouse had a
really good stout on; and then I turned the Rear Admiral to the dark side. There
are four Munzees in Folkestone Harbour. I captured them all, and he downloaded
the Munzee app and joined in. We had a celebratory pint in the Lifeboat, and
then it was home time.
I came home to find ‘er indoors TM
was still on her mission, so I took “Furry Face TM “ for
a walk round the block and then me and my dog shared a kebab as we watched “Carry on Behind”; a rather lame film but
it passed the time until the much-heralded Doctor Who anniversary special was
on.
And the Doctor Who anniversary special
itself.. I won’t go into too many details because I realise that a lot of
people will have SkyPlus-ed it to watch later. In short I liked it. I didn’t
think I would. I will watch it again with my finger on the “pause” button because a *lot* of continuity and fanwank (for want of a better term) has been
slipped in.
My dog slept through
the lot. He seems very quiet this evening. I hope he’s OK…
