New Who in Conversation: The Eleventh Hour S05E01
David is coming to New Who for the first time, having loved Classic Who as a kid. Tehani is a recent convert, and ploughed through Seasons 1 to 7 (so far) in just a few weeks after becoming addicted thanks to Matt Smith – she’s rewatching to keep up with David! Tansy is the expert in the team, with a history in Doctor Who fandom that goes WAY back, and a passion for Doctor Who that inspires us all.
We are working our way through New Who, using season openers and closers, and Hugo shortlisted e...

Growing up
I’ve put it off for the last few weeks, but tomorrow I’m finally going to send the baby along to daycare. It’s a bit weird that I’m so reluctant, as the first three were sent off with no hesitation, and they’ve all (generally) loved it. I think that partially it’s the breastfeeding thing – this baby is still feeding several times a day at nine months (tomorrow!) and I know that once he starts at daycare, things will change. And he’s my last, so I know that once he stops feeding, that will be...

Where does time go?
I’ve had trouble getting anything written here – I blame visitors, school holidays and the fact I’m blogging elsewhere! We’ve had a very social few weeks which has included multiple sleepovers, a Tansy & family overnight visit, a fishing day out, an Emma & B visit, a job won and lost for husband, Helen & J for two nights, a couple of movies, and LOADS of extra children and chauffeuring about of ours in their busy social schedules! I wanted to get lots more done than I did, but well, didn’t. I...

Cheating on my blog
I have not been posting a lot here, for several reasons. The first one is that I’m a bit busy, as usual, and blogging hasn’t been a priority. The main one though, is that I’ve been blogging over at Momentum Books, so I thought I’d better link those posts here!
My posts so far:
A Song of Waiting Patiently – how do you cope with an unfinished series?
Aurealis Shortlists 2012: SF Novel –I take a look at the SF Novel shortlist.
Playing Favourites – my favourite books (on a given day)

Catching up or keeping up?
Well, I got the marking done. I finally got Master Ten, Miss Seven, Master Three and our bedrooms basically unpacked and properly habitable. I’m working on bathrooms today and Bub’s room will be last. All the outgrown clothes have been dumped in there for sorting & storing/discarding. Then it’s just the last boxes in the study, and gradually sorting/finding homes for/tossing the “stuff” in the stored boxes. Getting there!
I also managed a huge cleanup on Friday before our visitors on the weeke...

Continuum 9
I got home from Continuum 9 in Melbourne last night, after a short overnighter trip I only decided to make about a week and a half ago! I’ve been to Melbourne cons before, but not Continuum. I’ve managed to make two cons and the Aurealis Awards this year, which is a change (there has to be a silver lining for husband’s redundancy from work!), and I’m glad I got to go.
Before I even arrived, David, Tansy and I had won a Chronos Award for our Doctor Who review series! I was very excited, because...

Great Book Purge 2013
Here’s the first batch of books looking for new homes. First in first served – books are free but you’ll need to pay for postage. I use Australia Post satchels which are approx $8 for 500g, $13 for 3kg and $16 for 5kg. Many are unread, some read once, a few more worn. Email me at editormum75 at gmail dot com if you want some. I’ll strikeout what gets taken as they go!
