A quieter week in Cardiff

Look who I found hiding under his hood!

Well dear reader, following on from the excitement of the last few weeks it’s been a far quieter week. I wandered back to Cardiff on Monday and managed to catch some filming for the day. They've now moved onto episode three which contains (warning big spoilers) snow and a bucket, as well as an extra that runs off shouting 'oy' (I know, sounds like a great story!). I was there for most of the day and the delightful Mr Capaldi came over to us all and chatted (he's always lovely), despite it raining a fair bit. Tuesday was back to filming, but I didn’t stay long, as they were inside so we couldn't see much (no snow, buckets or extras I'm afraid to report). The rest of the week has been spent in the new house faffing around and relaxing after my busy couple of weeks.

Saturday was a very last minute and brief pop up to Preston. Having been there a few years ago I had some idea of what to expect and it’s not changed much. I went to meet an actor called Ian Hanmore. He was a lovely chap and a true gent we had a chat about all sorts beyond Doctor Who and Game of Thrones, definitely worth the trip. The rest of the day was spent faffing around (I'm good at that).

Sunday however saw us (Dad and I) wandering down to Milton Keynes for my great aunt and uncle's (I think that's my relationship to them) joint birthday which meant a family reunion. Having not seen everyone for a fair few years it was great to see everyone and catch up with the extended family that we only see at such occasions. We had a lovely meal and sat outside enjoying the sun and chatting, before heading home.

As you can see dear reader it’s thankfully been a little quieter this week which has been nice. I really hope something unexpected happens next week otherwise it could be a very short entry!
