Aha! Well I will be signing books at a Doctor Who convention on the Isle of Wight next month so it all comes together! (PS the St Leonards addendum was mostly for other folks playing along at home, you sounded pretty knowledgeable about the area)

Hmm! I think I'll probably visit Battle next week so interesting to have that all in mind. I am also entertained by the respective sizes of these two streets in St Leonards.
A Google map screenshot of a city. There are two parallel streets, one called Norman road that is shown as quite wide, and another one called Saxon Street which is quite tiny

The audio caberet at the #XMTR festival last night. Helen Zaltzman closed out the evening with a dramatic reading from that 80s classic, "Ventriloquism for the Total Dummy". @helenzaltzman.bsky.social

Were the Doctor Who TV movie ratings -actually- bad? Was the shooting set a safe space? Might we finally get new Grace Holloway material? Find out that & more in my recent #LIWho 1996 TV movie panel w/co-star Daphne Ashbrook & producer Phil Segal! youtu.be/OUzAwJ43acQ #DoctorWho #8thDoctor

Any of my Welsh friends (or friends-to-be) here ever make toffee during the festive season? I'm plotting out an audio piece on that tradition. #cymraeg

Haha okay it just read "Daleks" as "darlings" this time around and I'm dying over here.

Most entertaining mis-transcription by the AI so far, apart from "Dr Hoot", goes to "garlic" for Dalek. "The doctor discovers a garlic hive where these garlics have been put into hibernation." Second best was the mis-transcription of "Vampire Science" as "Mango Fire". @kateorman.bsky.social

Used the last day of my student railcard (😭) on a daytrip from Bristol to lovely Weymouth w/my bicycle. Saw Nothe Fort (AMAZING), 2 castles, many habours & beaches. Had one heck of a tailwind (& then a heck of a headwind) riding across the Isle of Portland causeway! #england #dorset #uk #cycling
