We're having a grey and stormy day here today, which makes Virginia yawn:

Ah, Virginia. Glad to see she's better. [wasn't she ill recently?]

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Yes, she was a very sick girl, but now she's definitely on the mend. Thank goodness!

Whoo hoo, Chris Eccleston got second! Not too shabby for a one season doctor.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

I agree! :) What good taste my friends have.

Oh goodness! That reminds me! I have something for Virginia! IM me your mailing addy? :D I seem to have misplaced it. :S

Pretty flowers! Do you have a gardener/landscaper or do you do all that hard work yourself?

Thank you so much! The credit goes to my husband. Virginia and I just watch and admire. :)

[abbie (from livejournal.com)]

Oh! Awesome.

William Hartnell just doesn't get any respect.

Aw! :( He did get votes. And now that the DVDs are increasingly available thanks to the success of the new series, I bet he'll be gaining a new generation of viewers, too.

Thank you! I can't believe I haven't visited your LJ page in so long.
