I want you to remember that. Whatever you may hear.
Husband's spade has gone missing. I was the last person to use it and that was last weekend. I remember thinking: I must put this away after or I will be unpopular. I also have this vague recollection that when I put it away I thought: I must remember where I have put it so I know when Husband asks.
There are four possible places. I 'remember' quite clearly leaving the spade in each one of them. Of course it's not there now. And it's not anywhere. We've looked. In the end Husband had to go out and buy a new spade. I went with him and was subjected to the The Life and Times of Me and My Spade. Spades never wear out (allegedly).
Anyway that's not what worrying me. (Although the onset of dementia should be a cause for anxiety I know.) What if someone's stolen it?
'Nobody'd steal a spade,' said Husband.
'That's what I thought.'
'Unless they'd murdered someone and wanted to bury the body.'
'Or wanted to murder someone by bashing them on the head!'
And a murderer would wear gloves and I was the last person to use the spade so my fingerprints would be all over it so I could be arrested for a murder I didn't do.
So I just want it put on record that I didn't do it. I can call you as my witnesses, can't I?

Did anyone watch Doctor Who this weekend? Did anyone have the slightest idea what it was about? At least you know where you are with a dalek.

George has buried it, he thought it was a bone ;-)
Spades never wear out?! Maybe he's not trying hard enough!!!;)
I have worn out several spades. And maybe someone needed to dig a hole--but not for nefarious purposes. We have had some of the most ridiculous things stolen. lanterns and license plates, for example.
I don't think George buried it for a bone, though. Perhaps you put it in a very safe place. Maybe it's with my roll of packing tape. I put that in a safe place.
I don't have a clue about your Dr. Who references. We don't get it on TV here, and we've just watched the first three episodes of the first season on DVD. When we catch up to this season, I'll let you know if I understand it.
Maybe George dragged it over the fence...or used it to dig a hole under it. lol
I'll testify about your character. We had our lawn edger stolen from our garage so I believe a spade might be stolen. When you find it again you'll have one each!
Don't worry, you will find the culprit in a probably rather strange place. I once couldn't find my slippers, husband found them in the fridge. Maybe I wanted to keep them fresh ??
We used to use up a spade a year at Wren Cottage. Comes of having excessively strong youngsters and rocky soil.
We loved the Doctor this time - best I've seen in a very long time.Put it up there with Jon Pertwee/Roger Delgado and the Daimon(?). Oh, and I did enjoy the Special before last.
George has the spade - he is building up a toolkit as part of his prison camp escape committee training. If you see him with baggy trousers on and notice more loose dirt around the place trust me the tunnelling has started... :-)
Doctor Who....
The girl was a relative of who ever built the library. She was dying so they took all her brain activity and put it in the computer that controlled the library. So she lives on (in a kind of heaven metaphore) in the computer.
When the flesh eating shadows came out of the books - they live in trees, trees make books, planet with millions of books and no trees, lots of them no forest to live in and squirrels to eat.... - sorry back to the other plot... - she saved thr 4000 odd people in the libray but teleporting them not to another place but into the hard drive in the computer.
Okay - she didn't really know truth from non reality anymore nad Dr Moon (had something to do with the moon of the planet - lost that bit) was there to not let her and the others (Donna etc.) know they were in the computer as it's a pretty crap existance, better to be in blissful ignorance than to know your inside a computer. A lot of influence from the Matrix film plot here I think which was based on some ideas of a French philosopher - i.e. our reality is all we know but it may not be reality at all we may be someones figment of their imagination... He was using it to prove Gods existance I think... pointless exercise. God exists by faith alone, you prove he exists he can't be God - people will then simply not believe you anyhow and still believe in something via faith that you can't prove to exist. Or something like that.
Okay - then the Dr gets them all back out safely in the deal with the shadows.
The other bit with the new woman - looks like a love story for the Dr with her but time was a bit the wrong way round on that....
Everybody still with it? Do I win longest comment nobody understood award on this post?
I'm with cherrypie.
We find that the handles of spades snap off - wooden ones of course!
Yes was a bit strange i prefer the darlek's think was about shadows, Furthron seems to know:0)
It's more likely that george ate it, cherrypie.
That's my thinking too, suburbia!
So that's who the packing tape belongs to, katney!
Leslie, don't give him ideas!
Thank you, jmb.
I haven't looked in the fridge, gattina. Perhaps the spade could be there. (You put slippers in the fridge?!!)
aileni, glad you enjoyed the Doctor. I did but was confused.
Furtheron, thank you for that very clear explanation. Does that mean every time I save a story, its characters come to life on my hard disc and are having fun even as I type?! Regarding the other woman: if she's from his past/future, shouldn't she be younger/older?
Hello, welshcakes!
Lindsay, I am coming to the conclusion that Husband just hasn't been working hard enough!
Caroline, I was thinking I had it almost sorted but now you've got me going again: why two shadows and the statues and was Dr moon good or bad or real?
Hmmmmm. Are you have nightmares of standing in the dock being charged as a spade murderer? Of. more realistically, be charged as the one who lost hubby's precious spade?
Goodness knows what happens inside your computer... well bugger all in mine at the moment as it looks like the CPU is truly dead.... :-(
Right the Dr and the Prof have a past. However that past was was in his future in this episode. But she didn't know Donna - so Donna must be gone before he next meets her. So I think he was young to her - like two lines that pass for a moment but with traffic going in different directions.... that doesn't help at all...
The Doctor Moon was a kind of anti-virus installation, personified by the human doctor treating the little girl.
Pertwee is my all-time favourite Doctor, but I really like this one.
I'm with those who believe that George is somehow behind the loss of the spade. I'm sure Further On is right!
