Thanks Davy! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/mW7FMmAyG_vqxkNOJyyh.gif) Just to be mentioned in the same line as them is an honour! I really couldn't miss out on all the fun of the anniversary. ... and so the number13 era v 2.0 begins... Good to see you.

(I suppose v2.0 means I'm now in my own Season 8? Not sure I can live up to that tbh! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/IwGTjEvWiMqDCgEk5m52.gif) )

Thanks for the well wishes all. I’m recovering fine; two days of bad symptoms and now just an inconvenience (perks of youth and vaccines).

I just have been to a great rock concert. Alestorm and the German band Saltatio Mortis were playing. VERY awesome, both did fantastic interactive shows, lots of lights and pyros! And great good vibes music to sing along.
Sadly I am still very exhausted post-Covid, barely dragging myself through work, so going to the concert was even more exhausting. But worth it. I was lucky they started early at 7 pm for some reason.

Well been chiropractor I had trapped nerve in my neck & couple discs out of alignment. Also my left knee has early signs of arthritis which was my kicking leg when I did karate, those spin kicks caught up with me at 48 😂

New gas boiler recently installed and a replacement for our very old gas meter was installed a few months before that but, being the summer, very little gas had been used since the meter was swapped over.
Now a few weeks into the life of the new boiler & the heating on (which the smart display had been telling me was very economical in £/day), I checked the actual meter reading of gas volume used, did the usual conversion (about x31.25) to turn the meter reading from volume into kw/h - and almost fell over with shock. HOW MUCH? Is there a gas leak or something?!! And why is that almost 3 times what the smart display says in £?
Turns out (phew!) our 1990s gas meter was still reading in imperial 'hcf' (hundreds of cubic feet) and the new meter metric of course reads in cubic metres, so the conversion formula is now about x11.19. So the smart display's £ figure is right and the new boiler is being very economical!
(*goes for a lie down, has mug of tea and biccie to recover* ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/IwGTjEvWiMqDCgEk5m52.gif) )
I mention this here only because A) you can have a chuckle at me (guffawing is also permittted)
B) in the course of googling for what the heck was happening, I found that some people have still been billed using the old imperial formula after their meters were upgraded. (Bills 2.83 times too high.) And some others had even been billed using BOTH the old and new formulae at once. (Bills 3.83 times too high.) So I will be watching like a hawk to make sure the next gas bill is using the correct formula, only, and that ends this public service message. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/mW7FMmAyG_vqxkNOJyyh.gif)

Managed to tick a few more Who stars off the list today; David Bradley, Jenna Coleman & Alex Kingston. All lovely, but I was especially besotted by Alex!

Visited my family last night and we had our big family weekend meal together. Mum had cooked one of my favorites "Sauerbraten und Klösse" (beef in sour gravy with German potato dumplings). I also got a new betta fish. OMG, this little boy is such a joy! So much spunk and sass! He is not shy at all, immediately checked everything out and even took my expensive organic special food WITHOUT any discussion (often, these fish are trained to eat the useless food at the store, full of artificial colours and flavour enhancers). I like betta fish, they are full of character and for such small animals, they are pretty clever. They will even chase the laser pointer, like cats.
Sadly, they never live long, average is about 2 years, although I once had a fish that reached nearly 4 years.
I named the new boy "Angron" after the Warhammer Demon Prince of Wrath.

Today my new pair of walking shoes arrived, perfect fit and exactly the same size as my old ones of a different brand. To the millimetre.
Thing is, they are one (UK) size "bigger" (about 1.33 EU sizes) than the old pair because I'd seen lots of review comments saying 'go a size up' and they were right.
What is the point of having scales of standard sizes for stuff if manufacturers don't use them? Baffled.

Just had lunch with 1 of my work mates who is 69 years old. Born and raised in London UK.. I reminded him about tomorrow's date, he immediately recalled seeing Season 1 Episode 1 with William Hartnell when he was just 9 years old.. The next day at school that was All they could talk about - that 1st episode. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/ZBDvOFPmQgNwxFXLpuoD.gif)

Just have been called an "animal abuser" on social media by a rabid militant vegan. I just wanted to share my lovely new fish in one of the fish groups. There was a huge discussion, which in the end devolved into "Keeping any animal is akin to animal abuse, and as a veterinarian you are facilitating this by helping people who keep animals. This is even worse, you are supporting the system! Humans should only eat plants and all animals have to be set free." There was no rational talk possible with this guy.
He even posted his Youtube manifesto in my fish thread. Of course he has a Youtube rant to his name (probably more, I did not check).
And- of course I reported him to the admins.
No idea how this guy even ended up in a social media fish group. Probably only joined to stir up wet droppings. I suggested to him maybe a calm walking group might be better for his mental wellbeing. But best on some remote mountain or forest, far away from animal abused farmed cattle and sheep in paddocks. Or Antarctica is nice this time of year.
The idiots you meet every day, and the cattle droppings you have to wade through every day......

We just premiered our big 60th anniversary video on our YouTube channel ( Doctor Who Sings). It might seem like a small number, but we had a recording-setting 14 people tuning in live (double our previous best)! I even had people to talk to in live chat for the first time ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/IwGTjEvWiMqDCgEk5m52.gif) I've had so much going on for the last couple of months, and preparing four different videos for release in November has been exhausting (we normally manage about one video a month). We're both extremely proud of our last one (called A Regeneration Medley, for anyone interested), so it's been great to see all of the hard work pay off ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/mW7FMmAyG_vqxkNOJyyh.gif)

I was just planning to drop in to wish the good Doctor a 🎂🎁🎉Happy 60th Birthday🎂🎁🎉, and to say to the rest of you that however you choose to mark the occasion.. enjoy the day. Oh, and course looking forward to the next three weeks. But seeing as I have just discovered that a long lost wanderer has returned to the forum I will add a hale and hearty "Welcome Back!" and cast it towards number13You've been missed on these pages. We'll discuss how much at the board of inquiry next month, along with a chat about your dereliction of forum duty and you being absent without leaving a post for almost two and half years...🤪
