Neither does John, and the kids are too young still so we are a Dr Who free house, for now. But Game of Thrones - oh yes, it's excellent. I think it's because it doesn't really feel like science or fantasy fiction, but more like historical drama. I've only seen the first season and I love it. Excellent acting. <br /><br />Your dalek is brilliant - it's such a fun and silly present, it's perfect. xxGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-87995862715484763672013-12-17T14:42:29.654+11:002013-12-17T14:42:29.654+11:00I think dr who was a little before my time so I...I think dr who was a little before my time so I've never gotten into it.

My son has been begging me for a knitted Dalek and I told him I found the pattern ... last year! I still have to make it, but I was stalling because I've never knit "bobbles" before. The knitted pattern looks SO complicated, but I'll just have to concentrate. There's a great website by the way www.thinkgeek.com that has all sorts of Dr. Who and other nerdy things for sale ;) Wendy xSeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-48061242272106222832013-12-14T00:32:50.983+11:002013-12-14T00:32:50.983+11:00I'm with Daniel ... the contemporary reimagini...I'm with Daniel ... the contemporary reimagining of Dr Who is brilliant.

They look like space age wheelie bins. I've watched a few episodes at his insistence but still didn't get it. There was, however, one episode that I did like and that was the one (from 1 or 2 seasons ago) where the evil angels moved when you didn't see them.<br />To be fair, my husband doesn't get the whole Monty Don thing either!<br />Love the idea of a fishing kayak - we're thinking of getting his and hers kayaks to use down at Marieville Esp this Summer..https://www.blogger.com/profile/03751841392460034024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-73946054689699042022013-12-12T10:16:37.578+11:002013-12-12T10:16:37.578+11:00Oh dear.

And also like you, I am not a fan of science fiction in general, so have avoided Game of Thrones. Now you have me wondering if I should give the series a try. Or maybe try reading one of the books. <br /><br />I have no clue what a Dalek is, but you have done a great job knitting it. :-)kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-9987806383247304392013-12-11T20:36:52.543+11:002013-12-11T20:36:52.543+11:00I just love all things Dr Who...

In fact, as I've mentioned on another blog recently, I was terrified of that late 70's/early 80's Doctor when I was a child, the one with the scarf and curly hair. I don't know why but I was so scared of him. Your Dalek is great. My husband likes Dr. Who and I gave him a t-shirt last year with a Dalek apparently working in Starbucks, wearing a green apron and making coffee, saying "Caffeinate!" It works great for my husband's love of coffee as well as his interest in Dr. Who. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-88307411322310305342013-12-11T14:14:15.474+11:002013-12-11T14:14:15.474+11:00nope I have never seen the attraction to Dr Who ei...nope I have never seen the attraction to Dr Who either, in fact it used to freak me out with just the music.

Dr Who is a bit tragic, but I can understand the magic of it. I used to watch eons ago, not sure which series it was, but then again I used to watch Mr Ed and My Favorite Martian too, so go figure. Happy Birthday to Daniel - I'm one of those close to Christmas too, one week to the day and it's so not fair when you're young and get presents combined into one, but as an adult I don't mind so much. It usually means it's a bigger present lol. Plus no-one really does that to me anymore. Lovely snaps at the beach, Flynn looks so cute, as do the bigger boys. Happy days. cheers Wendy duchess_declutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763062839151537111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-37458374878344405892013-12-11T12:23:54.361+11:002013-12-11T12:23:54.361+11:00Never really got the 'Dr Who' thing either...Never really got the 'Dr Who' thing either although there was a small blip in time when I was at boarding school in Sydney and committed to giving it a go…..when I was nursing an adolescent thing for Peter Davison, who I thought had been absolutely gorgeous as Tristan in the TV adaption (we are talking v early 80's here) of 'All Creatures Great & Small'…as I said, it didn't last for long! No cake…quelle horror….next year you'd better get in the queue at Daci & Daci and purchase one….or pre order one to be specially made with a Dalek on it from Sweet Envy!
