September Newsletter

I'm constantly mystified by the ratio of work achieved to time available. (Actually, I'm constantly mystified by life in general, but there's only so much space in this newsletter!) Summer is, traditionally, a quite time for us. Students are away from campus, foreign places & holidays beckon for some and the weather draws us -hopefully- outdoors. It's a time when we, here at The Stroppy Cow, should be taking stock, re-charging our batteries & getting all the admin up to date. There should be time for all those little things that get left for 'when its quieter'. But that's not how it happens...why? I've got the time? Sure, batteries are recharged (thank you, glorious Northumberland), but is my office tidy? Have I reorganised my storage? Are my old files deleted?

Nope! Hey ho, I guess it'll get done when I'm up to my eyes in it!
Hope you had a wonderful summer!

Cardiff

Tilly and I are Dr Who and Torchwood nerds. Well, I say nerds...we don't know the name and order of each and every episode, the inside leg measurement of David Tennant's tailor's cousin's brother-in-law or have a friend of a friend who knows someone who walked past John Barrowman; BUT Tilly went to a comic book convention and spoke to a chap who had been a monster in a Dr Who episode! LOL

What I'm getting round to is, Himself and I had a couple of days in South Wales and visited the Dr Who Up Close Exhibit in Cardiff. Should've borrowed a couple of children then I could have justified jumping up and down in the queue with excitement!

Didn't need to go much further.....this was free to see!

Always thought that the original Cybermen were more scarey...used to be terrified of walking past those yellow moulded plastic workmen's huts as a child (I think they came out of them in one series but I'm not sure and can't find any photographic evidence on the web...cor, now that is nerdy!)

Ah, legend! Where's the sofa?

I have a line in Dr Who badges and magnets in my shop The Stroppy Cow and on eBay which are very popular.
