Well, we did make it to Cardiff for the 50th anniversary conference of the Royal College of Nursing. We did not get to visit the Dr Who museum, alas. However, the BBC kindly loaned the nurses a Tardis, so they could go back in time for a retrospective examination of nursing history in the UK.
Here we are, disembarking after our journey. [It annoys me that we had gotten rained upon, without any opportunity to brush our hair thereafter, so of course people WOULD take pictures of us, by the innate perversity of time and space. There's definitely a Murphy's Law in there somewhere, heh.]
I am told this is the REAL THING, straight from Galifrey with only one stop at the BBC Cardiff studios for a tune-up.
The house wot Creature's friends live in in Switzerland used to be very deceptive. It the middle one of a terrace of 3 and it used to have a flat roof. If you stood in front of it, you stood in front of the kitchen, and to the right of the kitchen as you looked at it the house stuck out about 3 metres and the front door was in the side of the bit that stuck out.
So it gave the impression when you first came of being a small house. But when you opened the front door and went inside it was much bigger than you thought.
They had friends wot worked for the BBC, and they called the house the Tardis because it was much bigger on the inside than it looked on the outside.
That sounds like fun. I'd like to see the Tardis myself.
At the exhibition I saw they did not let you inside the Tardis, so you have done better than going to it.
Thanks all for cheerful replies.
The thing is, they had sealed off the control room [see that Galifreyian metal plate at the back of the Tardis?] I suppose it was just as well, though, since our lot would have been very tempted to take it out joyriding.
