Fascinating that some fans use #doctorwho viewing figures to whine about a drop in appeal or quality .. yet 'The Traitors' was praised for being a massive hit for the BBC when its finale achieved about a million less viewers than the latest season's average for DW.

but it's not Tuesday. I am so confused I don't even know what day or year it is!

Apparently it is #throwbacktuesday so here's a picture of me from 1921.
OK .. it might have been from a #Cthulhu live roleplay event I attended at a stately home in Devon some 10+ years ago set in 1921. My character met a grisly end.

I have been quiet on here for the last week or so as my father was rushed into hospital (at my insistence) with breathing problems.
After being admitted to Critical Care, he is now finally able to have his extra oxygen feed reduced without ill-effects.
He lives in Birmingham, England; I live South of London, so this is about a 2.5 to 3 hour journey for me each time I visit.
I'll be back up there for Christmas; hopefully he''ll be able to go home a week or two later given his improvement.
