Welcome to my web diary!

 So, I'm well into season 5 now, almost done. And for some reason I can't really gel with the Doctor and Amy Pond. Separately I really like Amy's character - I think she's fun, but with the Doctor I don't feel like there's a tremendous amount of chemistry there. Maybe because I miss the tenth Doctor? Maybe I miss Rose and Donna? I was wondering but then it clicked, I think I just prefer Amy and the Doctor to be friends from the get go, sort of like a Doctor/Donna friendship, what with him taking an 'imaginary friend' role when she was little (and them meeting when she was little, too.) I found her liking him to be a bit forced (and her trying it on with him to be, well, a bit random!) So it hasn't really gelled with me that she likes the Doctor in a romantic way and would rather him over Rory - I think it would've been so much better if they were friends from the beginning, but alas. I've reached a point now where Rory has 'died' and so the dynamic between Amy and the Doctor is better and more friendly and it's good. I will meet Clara soon, and I've seen a lot of people say this Doctor and Clara have absolutely zero chemistry, so we will see. 

I feel like the stories aren't hitting the same as previous series, but I know there was a change of writers, so? That being said, The Van Gogh episode was brilliant, probably my fave from the series and yes, I did cry! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It'll be an episode I will think about for a long time.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying watching so far. I've never seen any DW before, so excuse me if my ramblings make no sense or are wrong, just my thoughts as a first timer through the new Who series. I'm looking forward to working my way through, and I hope to start S6 today and make a fair dent in that.

In other news, still sleepy from the sertraline and still waiting for a GP app to discuss it. I've been given an extension on my second assignment so will start that on Monday. (I would start it over the weekend but A is coming over Saturday to watch the Royal Rumble and I know they won't leave until later on Sunday.) Looking forward to that and watching CM Punk wrestle as well, I think we're going to try our hands at making breakfast sandwiches - think sausage, egg, bacon, hashbrowns... Ah!

Today I might do some journaling, catch up with this weeks Pobol y Cwm and do some tidying up - I made a little list. I'm fighting the urge not to sleep really hard!

Until next time!

So we decided to do a master dungeon on Destiny 2 last night (grasp of avarice) and I think we would've been successful if the servers didn't have to go down for emergency maintenance. Honestly, I play destiny less and less these days because of the dodgy servers and error codes - it really puts me off! I'm hoping they're trying to find a fix but there's been a lack of communication between Bungie and players (understandable considering the abuse they get on Twitter etc.) but for the genuine lovers of the game it can be quite off putting. Oh well. Maybe we'll try again tonight, but it's reset tomorrow.

I'm wondering about finding a different game to play. Maybe Cyberpunk? I'll have to look into the bugs and see if they're less too. I'm not so much of a ~gamer~ really so I'm not sure what I would play or what would suit me. It's currently half price on steam and seems fun, but we'll see.

Because of Destiny's server/maintenance issues I've made another Stardew farm for the millionth time. I can't help it! It's such a fantastic and comforting game for me. I have it on xbox, switch and on my PC via the xbox pc gamepass. I don't know how many hours over the past 5? 6? years I've played Stardew but it must be creeping up to 1 or 2 thousand. (probably novice numbers to some, lol)

I really fancy a new game to stick my teeth into, though. I've played a lot of animal crossing, stardew, skyrim... we may try elder scrolls online too, and I'm interested in Starfield when that comes out in September on gamepass. I suppose it's not long!

Speaking of hobbies, just glued my birthday memories into my notebook, as well as cinema ticket stubs. I left a space for Barbie and Oppenheimer tickets! Not long until then. I'm wondering what films will be out towards the end of year - I will have to check. I've been enjoying going to the cinema basically every month. I suppose it's a hobby now!

Also, I find it hilarious that I've searched on this site for "pobol y cwm", a Welsh soap, and there is nothing about it. Nothing! Not a community, a post, an interest. I might start a community or a different journal to write about it, or maybe I'll just ramble here about it. I'm not Welsh but it's such an addicting soap and the best I've watched - a good balance of real life, not too much doom and gloom but enough to be relatable/educational and some very lovable/hateable characters. I've been watching I think for the past 5 or so years, maybe just 4. I was influenced by my mum who has been watching for the past 15 - I would catch glimpses and get really into it and before moving out again we would watch it together - now we watch separately and discuss in depth lol. I feel like (for me, anyway) it would be fun to ramble about my thoughts here every week, so I might.

Anyway, not much else to report on, just taking it easy and fiance has a day off tomorrow, which should be fun and is very much welcome. On Wednesday I will be seeing my parents and youngest niece as a sort of second birthday seeing as I didn't see her when it was my actual birthday. It should be nice!

Until next time. X
