Kids, eh?

The Cherub hasn't really got the hang of jokes yet. Especially not 'Knock, knock' ones, which she keeps making up... Here's an example from last night:

Cherub: Knock, knock!
Other family member (sighing): Who's there?
Cherub: The pizza man!
Other family member (giving in to the inevitable): The pizza man who?
Cherub: The pizza man who knows what's on your list!
[beat, as everyone looks around at each other trying to work out what on EARTH she's thinking]
Miss M: Well she is factually correct...

~~~

Also, the girls spent a good long time watching Young Dracula on CBBC yesterday (new TV series) and this morning (there was a marathon thing). And despite everything, I must give Joss credit where credit's due: Slayers are girls, these days. It's deeply embedded in our culture now, and for that I will always be grateful.

Finally found the time to 'decorate' my LJ. And I've had this icon since... January? I found it, and liked it so much that I decided to upload it immediately so I wouldn't forget it once Christmas came round again. (Yes, I'm weird. But isn't it magical?)

“Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And if something can be remembered, it can come back...”

TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN! :)

Doctor Who: two long-lost episodes uncovered.

Galaxy 4 part three and The Underwater Menace part two found by collectors. (Apparently Galaxy is kinda rubbish, but at least it is now rubbish we can WATCH and not just wonder about. Plus, ONE! And The Underwater Menace, I'm being reliably informed, is pretty great, plus it's actually now the earliest surviving episode to feature the second Doctor!)

And here is a picture gallery!
