I was like a kid with the a key to the Sweets Cupboard. Easter Saturday is, normally, pretty much an ordinary Saturday. Shopping, Gardening (which is particularly difficult this year - shoulder and elbow not helping), and then the added task of the pre-Easter Sunday visits taking Eggs/Pressies and the like. And for that things were no different.
What was different was, that, apart from England beating Northern Ireland 4 - 0 in Football (Soccer for our US readers) but my childhood came back to me, for an hour at least.
Doctor Who
It was like 30 years of my life had come back to me in one short hour (am I sad or what? - 
)
It was everything that a good Sci_Fi series should be and more.The modern program keeps some of the elements of the original series (which finished quite a few years ago)m but then added something new and fresh.
The New Doctor, actor Christopher Eccleston,
is something to behold. This new Doctor is quirky, anxious, manic, serious, determined. A mixture of characteristics, many reminiscent of the Doctors that have gone before.
It will be interesting to see how this all pans out.
And, as with any past Doctor, he has found his companion.
Rose Tyler, Girl about Town. Feisty, vulnerable, quick, smart - all the best qualities of a Doctors Companion. Played by able actress and singer Billy Piper, I , for one, am happy with the choice .
The First Episode last night was nothing like what i used to watch - THANK GOD
The scenery DIDN'T move or wobble. The special effects lived up to their name.
They even brought back the Autons, the Living Plastic Treat to Mankind. Shop Dummies breaking through windows, attacking and terrifying the London Populous.
Later in the series, they are even bringing back, probably, the most famous of TV Sci-Fi baddies, the Daleks.
I know to some people, this "adoration" may seem a little sad. And you would /could/possibly be right. But I find this great entertainment. I also know that there will be many out there in blog world “talking” about last nights program, building a passion filled critique for, and against the Doctors latest adventure. And, on top of all that, they will be making a far better job of it than I will. So I will keep it all short and sweet.
I am a happy Bunny
and talking of Bunnies.........
Happy Easter everyone,
I hope you all have a pleasant and peaceful day .
'Twas Easter-Sunday. The full-blossomed trees
Filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.
"Christ the Lord is risen to-day,"
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
