The secret to not getting depressed about the end of Summer and the inevitable onset of yet another Winter, is to have something to look forward to.
If everything goes to plan, I shall be converting the garage at the Cliff Top Residence into an office (and completely Peabrain free area. Lo,TG Ed) for the TG/blogging room for me/film studio for me/artist’s studio for me/chill out room for me/den for me (Peabrain, do try to remember, you may do all this in the shed at the bottom of the garden. Lo,TG Ed)/spare bedroom when Papersurfer Junior comes to visit.
I’m hoping it’s going to have the same characteristics as the Tardis.

(I’m hoping the shed will have the same characteristics as the Tardis and go into orbit round Alpha Centauri. Lo,TG Ed)

Stumble It!

I don’t have a TV so it’s many years since I saw the Tardis, but I vaguely remember the occupants used to be an eccentric old git and a nubile young Goddess, are those the characteristics you mean?
I’ve never seen that similarity before GW ….. you could be onto something ………
Excellent powers of recall, GW. Excellent.
you got me all excited I thought Dr Who was coming back???? & that was what would make winter tolerable !!! tsk!!
I think there are some David Tennant specials coming up …… and then, of course, there’s the new reincarnation next year ….. let joy be unconfined ….
yipeeeee
You see, plenty to look forward to ……. and it’s my birthday in November …….
…and mine
All the very bestest people are born in November ….. it’s a well known fact …..
The way the weather has been lately, I thought the summer had already finished, no wait a bit of sunshine, no it’s gone again, here is the rain again
We’ve been quite fortunate in this neck of the woods ….. Wales is always a tad dodgy …… for many reasons …. tee hee
You seem to have a lot of chores to do – build steps, cut hedges. Maybe you should finish those before starting a new project….
I think he needs a WWOOF volunteer, i’m free at the end of September but i’m not keen on gingernuts.
Not keen on gingernuts!!!!! ….. you are British aren’t you?!!!!!!!!!!! *lies down in a darkened room*
*lies down in a darkened room*
…after which the elder papersurfer dreamt he was the dashing and handsome make lead character in a favorite old sitcom… only in his dream it was called ‘I Dream of Gingernuts‘ and the plot revolved around a naughty (but well-intentioned) gingernut who really hated to be kept in the box…
I used to have a crush on Jeannie …. awwwwww
OK, I’ll bite. WWOOF?
Just read your blog and had my memory jogged as to WWOOF – sorry
It happens when you get on a bit …… don’t worry ….. tee hee
So then for you… normal, but for Diane… the type of earth-shattering anomaly that usually results in a newspaper story.
{{See Diane… being part of the fraccy coven has a variety of advantages!}}
Thank you for stepping in. I almost missed that last DP comment. I’m glad you are on the case
[Note to self - book myself in for uterus implant combined with monkey glands - it's my last hope]
Tut Diane, he’s got this morning off – just a little light shopping!
If he has too much time on his hands he has a tendency to skittishness, which can get him into all sorts of trouble.
Shopping! Now you are talking!
The steps are nearly done, the hedges are *mumble* and everything else is also *mumble* ….. what I need is a HOLIDAY …….
You wouldn’t enjoy it. All that time lazing around in the sun, you’d get bored….
There might be some truth in that ….. perhaps we should test the theory …….
So then – how big is the shed???? It will need to be quite a size to house all your projects!
Exactly! I’m in the process of preparing a paper for the TG, the neighbours and the local council to back up my case for building an edifice of magnificent proportions ……..
Someone once said that the TARDIS would’ve been grown, not built, since it was organic. Aaaannnnd, given that the TARDIS was telepathic and (it would seem) semi-sentient, I think you’ve given yourself quite a challenge there DP. I mean, perhaps you’re good with a hammer and a little bit handy… but creating an office that resembles the Tardis, is organic, semi-sentient and telepathic might perhaps be a tad more lofty a goal than scissor-shopping magazine clippings while listening to ABBA at full blast.
Have you really thought this one through?
My goodness Fraccy your knowledge is astounding ….. especially for a Canadian ……..
The point is, well A point is, that I rarely think anything through …….. it’s quite tricky with only one brain cell that has a mind of it’s own ….. apparently …..
Canadian or not, I’m that geeky girl who always had her homework done early. And anyway, every country has its secret treasures now, doesn’t it?
(Aren’t you glad you hired me?)
Sooooo…. the thing I was getting at, is:
…would you like me to stock up on tea and gingernuts for when it all gets a bit overwhelming for you and all? Hmmm, now just in case you happen to succeed, and the Tardis behaves as per TG’s wishes and you happen to still be aboard (putting finishing touches on something no doubt)… perhaps I should make sure the tea and gingernuts are stored directly aboard?
In that case, please do make sure to build sufficient cupboard space.
Now you’re talking Fraccy [she's made a good point, for once]….. onto the important stuff! Can you get some coffee as well please?
[Note to self - - get in a good supply of fat Cubans and fit humidor ..... and enough loo paper in case I have guests ....... or curry .......]
Many years ago when I was at school, some friends and I were walking down a country lane near Farnham, Surrey, when we came across a film crew. They were filming Dr. Who and the Silurian Monsters, John Pertwee was Dr. Who then and he gave us all his autograph.
That is a very good claim to fame …… rather jealous actually …….
Have you noticed how those blue mobile portaloos used at rock concerts look like the Tardis?
I’m going to start my own tardis-themed portaloo venture and call it Doctor Poo.
That would work!!!! Can I claim some of the royalties? …… no? ……. double poo …….
LOL Tiggy!
Tiggy you must check out these I used them this weekend … awesome … just click on the pdf link

Those are fabulous sis… we need those here!
So this is what goddesses talk about when they are dancing around their handbags ….. I’ve often wondered …..
Do you have any Hoopers in your ancestral heritage? He is so much like you. Nothing ever gets finished 100% before he is off and starting a new project!!
maybe Gertrude could get the hedges done for you. I am sure she would enjoy the snack!
Actually I do manage to get most things completed ….. with little reminders, nudges and ……. leg pain – tee hee
[Gertrude has got a present arriving tomorrow - shusssssh]
Projects,projects,projects. I get exhausted just by reading about them.
I think that the TG is trying to keep me out of trouble. Don’t worry, I get loads of sofa and TV time and plenty of my favourite occupation …… SLEEPING!!!!
I can’t wait for Doctor Who to come back in America…
Oh you get it as well – brilliant – they’re good aren’t they. I hope the new one will be OK *fingers crossed*
Yep. I’m a bit disappointed to see David Tennant leave. The only Doctors I’ve seen are Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.
I’ve seen the new actor in other things and he’s very good although very different. I hope we all get to like him …….
Is he funny? That’s the most important thing.
Like nearly all the Dr Who actors he has done all sorts before ….. although he’s by far the youngest …. I wonder if there’ll ever be a girly one?
Was that rhetorical? If it wasn’t then I don’t know…… If it was, then…… I still don’t know.
It was a rhetorical question ….. I never know how to punctuate those …..
Really? Maybe with a “….” Or a “…….?” What do you think?
I don’t know about remodeling projects, DP. In my experience they never progress quickly enough, never on budget, always with excessive, shall I say oversight… I’m still open to being business partners in the seaside overlook. Now THAT’S a project.
We’ve done too many over the years – this one has been a doddle compared with some ….. I always do what I’m told ….. [when it suits me - shusssssh]
