This past Saturday we watched the third-last David Tennant Doctor Who special, The Waters Of Mars and it was, well quite brilliant. A massive improvement from Planet Of The Dead. The Doctor was taken to a place he’d not been before and… certain things happened. And the final 2-part episode was foreshadowed quite well at the end.

And that end begins next Saturday with part one of The End Of Time. We will of course watch it live (in HD!) and I am looking forward to it tremendously (those who may have seen the trailer will be with me in celebrating the nod to the Deadly Assassin-era Master to be seen in this episode!). And then… the very next day… I’m off to Australia!

So I won’t be able to see part two, in which Doctor 10 regenerates into Doctor 11, until I get back. It screens on January 2, so KLS is going to tape it and keep it safe on our PVR until I return when I can watch it in glorious HD. And try really, really, really hard not to have it spoiled for me in the interim.

Unless (of course) it screens in Australia or AW obtains a good quality copy during my stay 🙂

I just finished grading my students exams. The second class had their yesterday, and grading the 51 exams took me the better part of about 5 hours today. One day I will learn to write questions that don’t lend themselves to long, difficult-to-grade solutions.

Tomorrow I shall enter the grades, and (hopefully) be done with school this semester. Of course that’s a lie, since I have to prepare a lecture for the day I get back (yes, I have to teach the day I get back). But that can be done at home.

The squirrels? Just a little something to make mum smile 😉

Here’s a lovely shot of daisy from yesterday morning…

And here’s a pair of shots of her from yesterday afternoon…

We’re not quite sure how it happened (<- total lie), but somehow yesterday she lost most of her fur. What’s that you say? You want a better shot of her tail? Well, ask and ye shall receive…

Yep, that’s a 100% classic example of a so-called “lion cut” right there. And she loves it 🙂

But before you think our home is filled with only weird cats (such as lion-cutted little cats that look like cows, or 3 legged frogapillers), let me present this super handsome shot of Yossie!
