Beyond the Roundels

Day 4 was to set goals and since I have decided that it is very important for me to have a goal of not having goals for the moment, that's a wash. I suppose I could vow to re-upload some more icons that PhotoBucket ate in one of its tantrums. That would be good.





In your own space, promote a canon/talk about a part of canon that you love. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I was determined this time to do something less obscure but canons I have been thinking about and having feelings for especially at the moment are The Power Game, The Shadow of the Tower and Department S, so no hope of that.

( Cut for some blathering but mainly 1960s gifs of the gorgeous Barbara Murray and colour ITC adventurers )

Through this week I rapidly approached (and have now passed) the Awefull moment where I would finish The Power Game and not have anything else to watch where people are likely to accuse one another of clinging on like a neurotic limpet with a peeping tom complex. Naturally, I pulled out my 500 Prompts list to find the one Persiflage had so kindly left for just such an occasion. Me: "Hmm, betrayal, that could fit everyone..." *writes five times fic that is a series of (hopefully not too) incomprehensible conversations* What can I say? Sadly, the sarcasm is lagging a long way behind the show.

In other news, I managed to get a solitary blue and white bran flake in my pack of otherwise-normal Bran Flakes this week. I get the white frosting, but I didn't think we had blue breakfast cereal in the UK. Where did the blue come from? Is it an alien plot?
