[heyitsspaceace]

i just know game night at the noble-temple-doctor’s is intense. there’s still feuds over uno matches played weeks ago. sylvia is one draw four away from slapping 14 again, donna is staring daggers at wilf who just skipped her for the 3rd time in a row, rose looks like she’s losing but her hand is full of +2’s and she’s about to rain hellfire upon shaun who is simply happy his family is having game night

Sunday 12 July 1998 - France wins the 1998 FIFA World Cup - long ride home through Leipzig

Hi everyone

That was some Love Parade, yesterday 20 years ago in Berlin, wasn't it?Sunday 12 July 1998 would be part three and the final part of that weekend.  That day I needed to return to Munich later that day but there were sights to be seen.  I think I woke up about 8 AM, had a shower, ate breakfast and checked out at 9 AM.  With my clothes bag and backpack, I took the S-Bahn to Zoologischer Garten, where I deposited the clothes bag in a locker for 5 D-Mark, and went further on the U-2 to Bismarckstraße. I wanted to also see Spandau so I took the U-7, for many stops.  

The U-Bahn Station Rathaus Spandau, was nicely built, likely from the 1920s when stations were a more art-deco style.  I wish I could take photographs, but the camera battery was almost completely empty, and I had not thought at the time, to buy a new one as I did not have a warning until the previous day that the battery was low.  You cannot use regular AA batteries or similar, but rather a special "CR123A".  It is sort of a U-shaped battery, and cannot be bought just anywhere.  Electronics stores would have them.  The Samsung Evoca 115 is one of the finest point-and-shoot 35 mm film cameras with autofocus, fill-flash, date-time-stamp and so many more features, but the CR123A was not the best choice for batteries, I don't think.    

I returned by Jungfernheide and took the S-41 ring line to Bundesplatz.  It was almost 12 PM but I was getting hungry.  There was a Chinese food stand and the chili chicken with noodles looked good, so I ordered a small portion, for about 6 D-Mark.  Normally I would order a Döner Kebab for that price but I thought I would have something different. I had to watch my time, as the train back to Munich would leave Berlin Zoologischer Garten at 3 PM.  That was the Sommer Spezial train that I paid 89 D-Mark for, and not use a day field from my Eurailpass.  From Bundesplatz I took the U-9 to Zoologischer Garten, went east to Alexanderplatz and transferred to a U-5.  The U-5 was, like the U-2, one of the properly functioning lines in East Berlin that did not have any ghost stations.  On the U-5, the stations looked like when the wall was pulled down and Reunification happened, it was prior to their renovations in the 2000's.  The unrefinedness gave the stations their character.  I could have gone farther on to Hönow but I needed to get back to Berlin Zoo, so I exited the U-5 and returned by the S-7. 

I made it back to Zoologischer Garten station to pick up my clothes bag.  I found the train car where my seat reservation was located, and from there, the train went southwest to Leipzig.  I was listening to the radio but somehow fell tired until we arrived in Leipzig.  From Leipzig to the state line of Bavaria, the train went semi-fast, say about 75 mph, on the electrified lines through Naumburg, Jena, Erfurt, Illmenau, Schweinfurt and eventually to Nuremberg and finally Munich.  I had a light dinner in the restaurant car, not much.The train arrived in Munich around 11:15 PM.  

The World Cup Final with Brazil vs France did not start until 9 PM, so the train was still on the way to Munich when the match was ongoing.  Just short of Freising, the game ended and the conductor announced France won 3 to 0.  The Munich U-Bahn was still running when I arrived at Hbf.  When I took the U-4 to Arabellapark, the line 37 was also still running but with 30 minute headway.  I spotted a few Brazil fans waiting for the bus.  I think I arrived at home by 11:55 PM, I entered quietly and the next couple of days no one complained to me. Well what an interesting adventure in Berlin.  I have about four more for the summer.

 Gute Nacht, bis bald.

Fourteen is just gonna turn that second TARDIS into a library, isn't he? It's gonna grow weeds around the bottom as it sits there in the backyard next to Rose's TARDIS. He's gonna dig through all of his outer space logs and find the weirdest creatures in the universe and then he's gonna sprint across and shove a picture in her face and say: Hey think you can make THIS one?? And all her customers are gonna be like: WHERE do you come up with this stuff?? And she'll tell em her uncle helps.

Over time, the TARDIS will learn to chill out too, grow smaller and slower and dimmer. The Doctor will get special issues and old tomes and otherworldly pamphlets delivered to Wilf's old newsstand and he'll wheel Wilf down to collect them and get a sneaky pie while Sylvia isn't looking. Sylvia is gonna say the TARDIS is too chilly (even though she barely steps inside the thing for fear of it flitting off with her) so she's gonna bring CHAIRS and pillows and throws and cups of tea. Mostly because Rose and her Dad like to hang out in there. Definitely not for the Doctor himself. (Although he does like her tuna madras better than anyone else does, so maybe she brings him some of that. Just so it doesn't go to waste). Sean will build the Doctor a desk and a little patio around the TARDIS perimeter so he can sit outside and sun himself. And when Donna comes home from a hard day's work at UNIT, he's gonna throw thick volumes at her, saying: oh I know what that is, read this, that'll help. And Donna will be like: WHY do I gotta read a big ole book when YOU can just TELL ME what we're dealing with? And Fourteen's gonna be like: oh no, I'm retired. And I'm working on a full written history of [insert weird alien name -- probly the horsey alien thing from "Wild Blue Yonder"]. But now and again, when things get really dire, she will persuade him to come to UNIT as a consultant. The TARDIS will stay put tho, it'll just keep growing grass around the bottom and gathering leaves on top. Instead, he'll chuck Donna the keys to the car and say: You're driving (and then he'll complain about her driving the whole way as he is scrunched up against the car door because Donna now has full license from UNIT to be a hoon).

I'm glad they got to hug one more time

also look at Catherine's face she's so happy for them

Can we talk about Sylvia's entire arc? At the start of season 4, she's really oppressive but in Turn Left we see back even before the events of Runaway Bride and she's VICIOUS. I mean, to the point of saying "I've given up on you" to Donna. Then, cut to now and she's adamantly navigating having a trans granddaughter and examining her own behavior with such care and concern. Not to mention frantically shielding Donna from any alien shenanigans. Bravo, Sylvia.

Bonus: "My father would be impressed. I have no higher compliment."
