Murray Gold returning as Doctor Who composer 📺
The news that Murray Gold is returning to Doctor Who is quite exciting, for me anyway.
I love the way each season he created new material, giving each important character their own piece. You hear Clara’s theme and you see that leaf blowing on the wind. You hear “I am the Doctor” and you see Eleven leaping into action.
Hearing his theme in 2005 when the Doctor finally returned to our screens was just so exciting. It was a new arrangement but so familiar and took me straight back to how hearing that music as a boy meant the latest episode was starting and for 25 minutes I was going to be caught up in an adventure in time and space.
Organising my digital life - continued.

I've spent some more time thinking about and looking at options for how I want to craft my thoughts. Not the tools I want to use but more the way I want to publish, if at all.
Do I need a website beyond what I already have or am I happy with it as it is.
I've primarily been using it for micro posts but now that I have settled into a good routine I want to start writing longer posts. This is what I keep coming back to. Are these going to stay as distinctly separate content on write.as or will I keep them all together on the one site.
Thoughts on organising my digital life
I have been spending quite a bit of time trying to decide how best to arrange my digital life. In particular, longer thoughts or posts but also my photos.
With regard to the last point, I’ve decided it doesn’t matter. This is a project for me. If someone else happens to read it then even better but it’s not why I’m here.
I don’t want an online journal or diary. The best analogy is online scrapbook or perhaps notebook. The pages will contain whatever was relevant at the time.

Old friends
On Sunday I spent a lovely afternoon and evening catching up with my best friends from high school and their partners. The ‘80s seems so long ago but also just like yesterday when we’re together. Distance means we only manage it every few years now but I feel blessed to have friends in my life that have been there for 40 years. We slip into a comfortable groove that’s been slowly deepened and smoothed over the course of shared adventures, highs and lows, probably way too many drinks, and much much laughter.
Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode
Early in January I decided I’d rewatch Doctor Who beginning with 9 and hopefully finishing before 13’s final episode. I’ve just finished the 50th anniversary episode, which I thoroughly enjoyed the first time and on every viewing since. #doctorwho 📺
Introduction
I thought I’d set up a little space on the web. Not entirely sure what I will do with it but I decided I needed some little projects for my spare hours.
It might just end up a collection of thoughts on Doctor Who with some assorted ramblings on Star Trek. All interspersed with photos of the cat.
Who knows. Let’s see where it will go.
