Rules: repost and tag ten people you want to get to know better!

Characters: Donna Noble, 10th Doctor, 12th Doctor, Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, DI Alec Hardy, DS Ellie Miller, Obi Wan Kenobi (no, that isn’t influenced by Ewan McGregor at all…), Missy, and quite a few more

Books: Fever Pitch, About The Boy, and A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby; and anything by Alan Bennett or Bill Bryson, to name a few

Anime:  I don’t watch anything that could be classed as anime, unfortunately; but I absolutely loved a film called Tokyo Godfathers if that counts

TV Shows: Doctor Who, Sherlock, Broadchurch, and lots of repeats like Green Wing, Red Dwarf, or The Catherine Tate Show.

Beverages: tea (served hot with a splash of milk), cold water, Pepsi Max, Coke Zero, bitter lemon, diet lemonade, etc.

Foods: trying to be different from before, I’ll state chips, grilled fish fingers (I even like them cold), Yorkshire puddings, chocolate, mackerel pate, shrimp, cake & biscuits (please note that I have bothered to put specific ones because it is rare for me to dislike any)

Last Movie I Saw In The Cinema: Spectre, the latest James Bond. I was hoping I would’ve been to see The Lady In The Van by now.

Dream Holiday: anywhere would do, to be honest, but further to previous answers, I’d love to go to Norway and see the Northern Lights

Dream Wedding: I’ve done the whole country church white wedding thing for myself (and enjoyed it enormously), so now I have my son’s wedding to look forward to. I saw the first wedding dress fitting last weekend *squees* and she’ll look beautiful. :D

Dream Job: it’ll horrify you to know that I’ve already taken early retirement from my dream job, but I’m still drawn back to teaching and plan to do some voluntary work with adults in the future.
