Oil painting, attempt #3

Did this a while ago but hadn’t got round to posting it… the task was to copy a grand master, I hope I did it justice in some tiny way 😊

[northernvoodoo]

Love this. Best friends back together…. or are they?!

So lovely to see these two back on screen together, something I’ve been wishing for for 4 decades! 😊😊

What did you think @human-nxture @circular-time @spacetimeconundrum ?

COMMENT ON OLD FICS, I BEG YOU!

I swear to god after like a week people will still be reading but nobody leaves comments anymore and I just want to make it absolutely clear that I would be excited and elated to get a comment on these fics one hundred years after I post them.

A FIC IS NEVER TOO OLD TO LEAVE A NICE COMMENT ON. GO FORTH AND COMMENT!

Surdulica

A couple of years ago I submitted an entry for the Big Finish Short Trips annual writers’ opportunity.  It was sparked by a comment made by Sarah Sutton at a Big Finish Day convention, where she was asked what time period she’d like to see covered in a future audio, and she picked the First World War.  I started thinking about the Western Front, and was intrigued by the story of the Angels of Mons, but then thought that the Eastern Front was a bit more of an unusual angle.  When I happened upon the horrific real-life accounts of what happened at Surdulica I knew I had to factor this in, and the chance to tie in Tegan’s Yugoslavian heritage was too good to miss.

Anyway, like hundreds of others the story wasn’t picked.  I held off posting it for a while, entertaining fantasies that Big Finish would want it one day, but I’ve since decided to flag down the Reality Bus and hitch a ride to Sanity Town :)

So here you go.  It’s not good enough for Big Finish (!), but I hope the discerning readers of fanfic land find something in it to enjoy.

As always, comments are not compulsory but very much appreciated.  Unless they’re bad, when they’re not ;) 

Enjoy! xxx

BEST DAY EVER!!! 🤩

[northernvoodoo]

So my daughter wanted a drawing of “a frog wearing a wizard’s hat”. And I wanted a distraction from the writing that I REALLY should be getting on with. Why do its eyes judge me so...?!

Stop All The Clocks

So once again @human-nxture has made me write something....!

Drabble for a challenge at who-contest over on Dreamwidth.

Summary: It’s a solemn day in the TARDIS as the Doctor and his companions say goodbye to a dear friend.

Haha I never noticed before that Nyssa takes a giant step out of the way just in case the Doctor turns and runs her down

[northernvoodoo]

I think she’s trying not to stand on his scarf!

I have no idea what Inktober is or what it involves but here’s a spider I drew whilst listening to a boring webinar on financial modelling at work 👍🏼

This beautiful British biscuit is a custard cream. It is a delicious rectangle of loveliness, and a welcome treat coming home after a hard day’s graft. That’s all you need to know 😉

The Complete Galactic Plane: Up and Down : Is it possible to capture the entire plane of our galaxy in a single image? Yes, but not in one exposure – and it took some planning to do it in two. The top part of the featured image is the night sky above Lebanon, north of the equator, taken in 2017 June. The image was taken at a time when the central band of the Milky Way Galaxy passed directly overhead. The bottom half was similarly captured six months later in latitude-opposite Chile, south of Earth’s equator. Each image therefore captured the night sky in exactly the opposite direction of the other, when fully half the Galactic plane was visible. The southern half was then inverted – car and all – and digitally appended to the top half to show the entire central band of our Galaxy, as a circle, in a single image. Many stars and nebulas are visible, with the Large Magellanic Cloud being particularly notable inside the lower half of the complete galactic circle. via NASA

This is absolutely breathtaking!

I LOVE Janet Fielding. She is so amazing there are no words to describe her.
