book the 11th doctor tv music heavy metal timeline what i ve been listening to in other writing about music reading cooking politics older posts what i ve been reading lately part 60 posted on april 25 2026 3 comments second year at malory towers enid blyton i made it some way into this sequel see review of the original before starting to enjoy it i feel that the innocent charm of the original is either absent this time around or has lost some of its impact through familiarity but as i read on i found that i was interested in how boring it was what i mean is until very near the end almost nothing actually happens one girl becomes ill and recovers and that s about it so all the bulk of the story is about who is best friends with who and who doesn t like who all of it rather catty and unappealing continue reading 3 comments posted in books reviews what i ve been reading lately tagged 1 6 7 8 doctor who series 13 part 5 survivors of the flux posted on april 2 2026 leave a comment a quick update on my interrupted trawl through flux i watched episode 5 some weeks ago i did intend to write about it but i got distracted and in the intervening time the episode has almost completely slipped away from me i remember the doctor on a sort of space station affair between two universes where her adoptive mother had some important exposition the content of which escapes me something to do with the eponymous flux i think i remember her dying for some reason not sure oh and there was an ood yeah that was it i will watch the sixth and final episode i will and so help me i will write about it and then it will finally be on to the blessed relief of the specials and then at last onto the new guy leave a comment posted in doctor who reviews series 13 a funny thing happened on the way to blogging about flux posted on march 7 2026 10 comments having watched the first four episodes of flux i did watch the fifth episode and intended to write about it but somehow i got distracted and didn t get around to it i probably will but not today but in the mean time for reasons i can t really explain even to myself i ve started watching the not very good old who season 11 third doctor 1974 so far i ve watched all of the time warrior four episodes first appearance of a sontaran and invasion of the dinosaurs six heavily padded episodes and i m two episodes into death to the daleks the cliffhanger at the end of invasion of the dinosaurs episode 1 is the appearance of this tyrannosaurus rex continue reading 10 comments posted in doctor who series 13 tv deny all cookies posted on february 14 2026 1 comment over the last few weeks i have noticed a behaviour in myself if i follow a link say from a mostodon post and i get one of those we care about your privacy popups i click the reject all button and read the article as i assume we all do but if there is no reject all button just a link to a complicated set of preferences i simply close the window and never see what the article had to say i wonder how many others do this when i mentioned this on mastodon a lot of people said they do the same see all the replies there and i wonder how many web sites are losing a lot of their traffic for this reason 1 comment posted in frustration doctor who series 13 part 4 village of the angels posted on february 5 2026 1 comment there s a good doctor who episode somewhere inside village of the angels i d call it the best episode of the season so far which i admit is faint praise but it scored highly in two important respects first it had fewer plot threads which meant it was possible to keep some sense of what was going on and secondly it had some genuinely interesting ideas continue reading 1 comment posted in doctor who reviews series 13 doctor who series 13 part 3 once upon time posted on february 2 2026 1 comment what if we have daleks and cyberman and weeping angels that would be an amazing episode nope that s not how it works what if we bring the fugutive doctor back that would make it great right nuh uh continue reading 1 comment posted in doctor who reviews series 13 doctor who series 13 part 2 war of the sontarans posted on january 26 2026 4 comments here we are in episode 2 of flux the six episode mini season with the alleged overarching plot line we ll see about that i will say though that this was at least an improvement over the first episode i m using this image because it s resonant and a sontaran in the episode does say i wanted to ride a horse but i don t remember seeing anything like in the actual episode seems like a missed open goal continue reading 4 comments posted in doctor who reviews series 13 mike s attempt to re engage with doctor who part 1 the halloween apocalypse posted on january 24 2026 13 comments faithful readers will remember that i found season 12 a step up from the deeply disappointing season 11 not great but with some good parts after that i am pretty sure based on the wikipedia synopsis seeming sort of familiar that i watched revolution of the daleks and i definitely made a start on season 13 flux watching two episodes before i drifted away after that half a dozen specials were broadcast i missed them all and then the new guy debuted i was slightly excited about this but having a completionist streak i wouldn t let myself watch ncuti gatwa s episodes until i d caught up with the end of jodie whittaker and that is why dear reader i sat down this evening to have another stab at flux the six episode story that encompasses all six episodes of season 13 i know i know continue reading 13 comments posted in doctor who reviews series 13 tv what i ve been listening to in 2025 posted on january 24 2026 2 comments here is a youtube playlist of my now traditional top ten list of the albums i ve listened to the most in the previous calendar year see this list of previous entries i listen much more to whole albums than to individual tracks so each year i pick the ten albums that i listened to the most not counting compilations as recorded on the laptop where i listen to most of my music so these counts don t include listening in the car or the kitchen or on my phone i limit the selection to no more than one album per artist and skip albums that have featured in previous years then from each of those ten objectively selected albums i subjectively pick one song that i feel is representative or that i just love continue reading 2 comments posted in music reviews what i ve been listening to in the death of software engineering posted on january 13 2026 11 comments i don t
