One Day Of Summer?

patentdragonThis Just In... Another "death in the family" for Doctor Who, following the announcement today of the passing of Mary Tamm, who played Time Lord Romana alongside Tom Baker's iconic fourth incarnation of The Doctor.
When a TV show lasts long enough to see its 50th anniversary (next year), I suppose you have to expect these things, but damn it's sad to lose another companion, following Caroline (Liz Shaw) John and Elisabeth (Sarah-Jane Smith) Sladen, and let's not forget The Brigadier, Nicholas Courtney...
Let this be the last, at least until the 50th Anniversary is over.
Elsewhat... Huh. Guess I was more right than I expected, in saying Summer would last only a day. We're back under cloud, but thankfully no rain today - maybe we will get the scaffolding down by next week.
And finally... Ooooooh dear - a flag mix-up at the Olympic Soccer, and there's that chorus of doom-sayers chiming in, often blaming Scotland, 'cause the North Korea match was taking place in Glasgow.
With video materials produced in ENGLAND.
They should be thankful there wasn't an anthem screw-up as well. The theme from Team America - World Police, which notoriously mocked the North Korean leadership, wouldn't have gone down well.
And finally finally... One day to the Olympics opening, two to the start of "CLAN Plus". Will the sound from the latest expansion of "the Gathering" disrupt the lives of those near - and not so near - the venue? We will just have to wait and see - perhaps I should take a look at the site...
