All The Time In The World

I've just finished the spreadsheet and rechecked the results. It's official. There are not enough hours in the day.

 

What feels like a million years ago, but is actually only a month or so, I decided to finally start watching every episode of Doctor Who from the very beginning. So far I've managed only four half hour episodes.

 

Then there's the pile of PS3 games waiting to be played, books to be read, paperwork to sort out, films and tv shows to watch... and about a million other things on my to-do list that I just can't quite squeeze in.

 

Whenever I do get an hour to myself I spend the first 30 mins deciding what to do with my free time and the remainder doing something silly like deciding to start writing a blog for no good reason.

 

The moral of the story?  I don't know, I haven't had time to think about it, but it's on my to-do list.

The Great Doctor Who Watch

For some time now I've been planning on watching every Doctor Who episode from the very first back in November 1963, many of which will be for the first time. I have been steadily building a collection of DVD's (and audio cd's for the missing episodes) and currently have the vast majority on a shelf ready to go.

I was going to share my experiences here but I quite like the idea of posting a review of sorts for each of the stories and this would just swamp this little ol' blog with my (very occasional!!) posts getting lost amongst the Doctor Who stuff.

The answer is, obviously, another blog. Should you be so inclined you can take a look at the dedicated Great Doctor Who Watch blog and perhaps share your thoughts on the episodes discussed.

I plan to start the 'watch' later this week and will also tweet about my progress using the hashtag #GDWW.

I'll Be Back !

Bugger me!

Did I really last post a blog on 2nd November 2012? 

That's over six months ago!

Where the hell did that go?

It seems the older I get the quicker time passes and it's now moving at a rate I can no longer keep pace with. There are, officially, not enough hours in the day to do everything and this blogging lark was one of the first casualties.

I know I not the most prolific writer, but I enjoy it. That's why I set this blog up in the first place. I also enjoyed tweeting, and still do, but sometimes 140 characters just ain't enough. And that habbit of posting a dozen or more sequential tweets just seems a tad ... pointless.

Perhaps it's just something I need to develop and encourage but time management is certainly a skill I seem to be lacking at the moment. Or perhaps it's the structure of the timespace continuum and the allocated units within which are simply not sufficient to process my requirements.

So, here and now, I hereby pledge to give myself a kick up the backside and make more of an effort. More posts, more frequently.

In the meantime I should probably ensure my son gets a good grasp of time as early as possible. Perhaps I should allow the magnificent Dave Allen to teach him?
