Di I tell you I have a nephew … ?
I didn’t?
I’ve got a nephew.
He’s called Jude, I should add: he’s four — tomorrow — and quite fun to be with.
Except when it’s Christmas Day, of course: every single present is his, and has to be opened, now … !
Oh, and inevitably … ?
Well, when Donatello Turtle, the Batmobile and Spiderman get into a punch up, it turns into a tie … between the Batmobile and Donny. Spiderman not standing much of a chance against a two ton salt flat racer and a six foot chelonian.
It makes sense …
When you’re four, overexcited, and been at the e-numbers.
Needless to say, I’m thinking he’s EXHAUSTING …

But that’s Christmas for you: it’s a time for families to be together, get very tired, possibly argue — although mine didn’t, today — and enjoy fun, games and stuff …
Jude, bless him, being Jude … ?
Was saying “Can I open this one, now?” from the moment I got in the door.
And “Can we do this now … ?”
Bless … !
We …
No, scrub that, Mummy — my kid sister Ruth, in other words — manage to distract him ofr long enough that I, Anna — my other sister — and my Mum managed to catch tonight’s episode of Dr Who.
This year’s Christmas special.
The Christmas special that is … Last Christmas …
It’s …
Interesting …
~≈‡≈~
We join the episode when Clara awakens on Christmas night: having heard something crashing on the roof of her house.
Something that turns out to be very familiar: a crashed sleigh, pulled by sleighs, with elves … and a red suited driver who looks suspiciously familiar.
It’s only when Santa is trying to convince Clara he’s a roofer, that the Doctor turns up: turns up, orders her into the TARDIS …
And THEN takes her to what appears to be a polar base: a polar base whose crew … have an infirmary …
And a full one, whose patients are having headaches of serious proportions.

Now … ?
Did I enjoy tonight’s episode?
Yes, I did, actually.
Although I must say, it’s not as stunning as some of the series/Peter Capaldi episodes: I still think Death In Heaven and Mummy On The Orient Express get the ‘Best Of’ nod.
On the other hand … ? On the other hand, whilst I found the whole ‘dream in a dream’ thing slightly reminiscent of Amy’s Choice, I found Last Christmas to be a competently done, entertaining.
Personally?
That scores for me.
