“Ow!” Donna yelped, slapping at her neck yet again. “You never said there’d be bugs! I’m getting eaten alive!”


“Oh, pish.” The Doctor waved his hand as though dismissing her complaint. “What’s a few bug bites compared to that?” He pointed towards the horizon as the second of two ringed planets gradually appeared, like a massive balloon rising ponderously into the heavens. They were so close they dominated the evening sky.


“It’s alright for you, you’re not the one they’re snacking on!” Donna squashed another bug. “If I break out in a mass of itchy spots there’ll be big trouble!”

Donna: Well, mine was with a giant spider, but, same difference.

Poor Donna. Encountering "hostile" alien insects again.

They like her too much *shudders*

Thank you!

I couldn't agree more!

Maybe the Doctor could bring a portable insect trap in one of his trench coat pockets.;)

You'd think he'd ave something that would help.

Well, I can't wait to see what it is.*hints at sequel*

Just kidding.;)

[bk_forever]

A sequel is unlikely. Me writing anything at all is unlikely. My laptop is practically dead and I'm trying to use a mini laptop with the new version of windows on it. I hate everything about it, and I hate MS Office, I can't find anything I need and I can't download anything either.

On top of that I have no heat and I'm freezing.

Oh no! I'm sorry that your having a difficult time.:(

You're too cold. I'm too hot, (weather wise).*sighs*

I hope things improve on your side very soon.*hugs*

My friend is trying to revive an old laptop to make it workable. As for the heating, I've been told I have to burn kiln dried wood instead of coal to keep the chimney from blocking again, and that it must be totally dry, but I have nowhere to store a huge load of wood to keep it dry! Plus I have no idea how much it's going to cost. Or how much I'll need to burn each day.

My life is sheer hell.

Man. That sounds like a big challenge. I wish there was someone that could give you assistance and/or financial support. I can only give you my concern.:(

If only I could provide you with some of the heat I'm experiencing.*sighs*

[bk_forever]

I've got the fire going burning wood, but it's burned through 8 logs in the last hour, there's no way I can load enough wood in to keep it going overnight, and every time I open the door to put more wood on a load of sparks escape, which freaks me out. I'm going to have to light the fire at least once a day and cleaning it out is going to be a nightmare. Meanwhile, the house is still freezing.

That's tough. It sounds like you have to wear clothes for the snow. I use a sleeping bag during the winter nights.:(

[bk_forever]

I'm almost at the point of using a sleeping bag during the day to keep from freezing,
