I am so fed up of not having a new laptop yet. Probably the fact that I know I should have one within the next fortnight or so is making this worse. And I know it is a stupid and petty thing to be annoyed about... but there it is. Emergency backup laptop is great but slooowww and I want to make iiiiicons! I have a load of
Mind Robber caps (major advantage of classic laptop: PowerDVD!) sitting on my hard drive waiting for me to do something with. Yes I would like some cheese with my whine, thank you kindly.
Just after I typed all that an amazon package arrived with the first batch of my replacement DVDs in it, which has effectively stopped me feeling sorry for myself. Hurray! Also the sun is warm, there are
set photos from series 2 of the
Sarah Jane Adventures (warning! spoilers!) and Big Finish has
announced that the Companion Chronicles is going to be an ongoing series, including companions from Doctors 5-8 as well, plus "characters that aren't strictly companions". This makes me a very happy fan (as long as I ignore the somewhat repetitious discussion over at The Forum Formerly Known As Outpost Gallifrey) - more stories!
Companiony stories! One starring Sara Kingdom! Joy! Also, if the picture on the link is the cover for the Susan one...
pretty. I've not been that impressed with the covers for the latest of the main range releases, but the black bar format seems to work really well for the Companion Chronicles.
ETA: SJA spoilers in the comments!
