Well, took the day off work and mostly slept through it, hoping to be better for tomorrow when I really must be there at least for my late shift. Ugh. And there's a snowstorm predicted for those hours. Maybe the library will be empty. I can only hope.

I never could quite accept the fifth Doctor... the actor portraying him was still Tristan from All Creatures Great and Small to me. He played that role so well I couldn't shake that image of him.

I thought he did rather well, though following in Tom Baker's footsteps had to be incredibly hard. Peter Davison is a very flexible actor. He also did a detective series for the BBC that is quite good.

My favorites as the Dr are Baker, of course, immediately followed by Jon Pertwee, who I enjoyed immensely. Patrick Troughton was really good too, and it's unfortunate that all his episodes have not survived. It seems funny to think of things made in "modern" times being casually lost the way silent films were.

As for crossovers from All Creatures Great and Small, seeing Siegfried Farnon suddenly appear as Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter movies was disorienting for me. There are also a couple of All Creatures episodes where Patrick Troughton appeared as an itinerant farmhand with a sick dog.

We both like pizza. There's your overlap. ;)

Sorry to hear you got that cold. I hope you get a nice quiet library tomorrow and less snow than predicted.

Salmon patties... it's been years since I've had them. Now I'm hungry. :)

Yeah, now that I think of it, maybe I'll use being sick to coax Gary into making some of those. Actually, they aren't difficult. Nor expensive. I watch for canned salmon to be on sale at the market and nab one whenever it is. We always have a can or two on hand.
