A polar blast delivering a single digit cold snap to most of Eastern Australia is the perfect reason to pull out some fandom winter gear a little earlier than normal.

Tonight, my feet will be kept warm by hand knitted woollen TARDIS socks and my head by a police box beanie.

Blue socks knitted to resemble the TARDIS from Doctor Who. “Police Box” is in white lettering inside a black band near the top and white squares underneath are the windows.A blue beanie resembling the TARDIS from Doctor Who. A black band has “Police Box” “public call” in white capital letters inside. Underneath are white squares in two 3x2 grids representing the windows.

“Imagine losing your rudder out at sea and sending out a distress call. And then the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world comes to your rescue.”

Next weekend is a trifecta of Mother’s Day, my brothers birthday and my niece’s birthday. Buying presents for mum and my niece qualifies for a free gift.

I wonder if my brother would prefer the hand cream, the scented candle or the big tangle free comb. 🤔😎

🌞 It’s 9:00am and 19°c with a high of 26° forecast. I love Autumn.

🍷 The weekend has arrived. I see a glass of Sangiovese in my near future.

🛫 A night spent planning a holiday is a good night.

Body corporate committee meeting first thing this morning. The agenda includes the evergreen items “enforcing the parking by-laws” and “dogs not being kept on a leash in the common areas”.

Doing my periodic review of subscriptions to see what I can cut out. I’m slowly reducing the number of apps I use but I do love a new shiny thing so need to maximise free trial periods wherever possible.

The cooler weather means the crochet blanket comes out to keep my feet warm. The cat loves to sleep on this blanket and will now spend the next few months curling up like this whenever I’m watching tv. 🐈

Watched the first episode of Mrs Davis as it’s had a thumbs up from people with similar viewing tastes to me. Very quirky and fun. I’ll be watching the rest of it. 📺
