Randomness + Doctor Who

Weeeee! I finally got around to watching The Time Meddler - one of the handful of existing Doctor Who stories I hadn't seen yet. I did plan to watch it last year, when I was going through the First Doctor's stories in order, but then the news came that it was about to be released on DVD, and I decided to wait. Of course, then the release was delayed by a year... *sighs*

I'd nearly forgotten just how much I love the First Doctor. (Not quite the same way as Three, but anyway.) He's so much fun in his irascible old man persona. And while I think I prefer Ian & Barbara as his companions, I didn't really mind Vicki & Steven either (although Steven was a bit obnoxious). And The Time Meddler was a fun story (never mind that the Saxons of 1066 looked quite 1960s...)

And I had a Musti on me the whole time. She's so lovely. And a bit heavy...

Unfortunately, I also went through a pile of tissues during the watching - so much of me being all pleased about not having any issues with the sneezing this time around. I seem to have acquired a terribly runny nose. And the fever's back - not quite to yesterday's levels, but not far from it. Ah well. Sweating again now - this is getting a bit tedious. If I'm still the same way tomorrow, the doctor will have to be called. (Although I'll be quite surprised if she did anything else than write a note, and perhaps recommend I take paracetamol, as that's what she's done before. And that's what I'm doing anyway. Heh.) Still, I don't seem to have trouble in my lungs or anywhere else, which is always a good thing. (I really do have quite a bit of experience with colds - at least I more or less know what to pay attention to... the trouble is that even the most common of colds seem to linger for me, I can never get over them in just a day or two. A week of having to stay in is quite usual and even two weeks not too out of the ordinary.)

I got to love the First Doctor a lot as well. The first time I saw him I didn't quite get him, and that was before I'd seen any other old Doctors. When I started watching more stories with him I started to enjoy them a lot. I really like Ian and Barbara - I haven't seen Vicki and Steven yet, but I no doubt will soon. Which reminds me - I should go ahead and place my Amazon order ...

I did a double take when I read Saxons though :-P

Hope you feel better soon! *hugs*

*hugs*

My nose has stopped running. But now I have a cough.

:-/

At least we can keep each other company!

I don't think I've ever watched any of the First Doctor - or at least, I can't remember it. I was always a massive fan of the Scarf Doctor, as we call him, but I can never remember what number he was...

When you're ill, you don't do things by half, don't you? stay in and take care of yourself. Think of all the Doctor goodness you'll be able to see or of the exchange fics you'll have time to reread.

Enjoy watching Doctor Who, and hope you get rid of that cold/fever soon - before a week, however unlikely that may be!
