Was out and about, having a wander. Apparently in the 'UK', for I saw somewhere (as if on a newspaper front, or magazine, etc) that the new Doctor Who companion had been revealed, and it was this black actress (unknown to me) who would be called 'Jules', and play the character in an androgenous manner. Finding myself wandering by Mister Keith Topping's place, I popped in for a few moments to pithily declare to him that since some viewers had opined that there ought to be a male companion again, they'd split the difference as it were, and while casting a female would make sure she would play it 'butch'. He didn't disagree (though seeming a bit distracted), as I immediately then left. It appeared a grounds crew had arrived, but were also working n the park right outside, which I crossed, avoiding the workers and their equipment as I went. Near the edge of the park, a boy was playing soccer, though in a 'kick it aganst the wall while it rebounds' way. The ball hit me as I went by (though not that hard; while I received no apology, I was little discommoded). I then attempted to leave said park, which now seemed to have a low New England style stone wall. I considered how best to scramble up (to avoid knocking any off), and noted there was a private yard which I probably ought not to go through, opting instead to emerge a bit over to the left into a little bit of field/verge. Worried briefly about ticks (as in, did they have them there).
