catching up
This is a post of things that are totally unrelated to each other. Just so you know. I haven’t been swimming. My shoulder’s doing better, by and large (though I think I spent too much time knitting last night, or possibly yesterday’s brief spate with free weights should have been done with the lighter weights, because it’s faintly achy today), and I’d been thinking that okay, I really should get back to the pool and that I could give it one more week’s rest and start after we got back…

I thought David Tennant had seriously channeled Christopher Eccleston for at least a few episodes, but in re-watching, I gotta say, nope, Ten’s very much his own man straight off. Also, the bit in The Christmas Invasion where he’s still in Nine’s clothes really, really echoed poignantly forward (or back)…
