A few years ago I was randomly bestowed the title of Doctor Who. It lead to some amusing events at the time, but since then I've seen that its a bizarrely awesome compliment. One of the coolest things about Doctor Who is that despite his being a time lord, amazing space craft and genius - all that stuff - the reason he still enjoys adventuring is because he acts on impulse, random maybe even to him, and does things unexpected by everyone around him. Many events in my life have made me realise the value of this randomness, of doing something that comes to mind despite perception or occasionally reality holding you back. Obviously there are limits, which is also something Doctor Who shows, but these random events have been some of the most enjoyable of my life. Sometimes they're one off and only continue to have their effects in memory; other times they've had more far reaching consequences. So that's the ethos I guess. Live life with that spark of randomness always in mind - by all means do what you need to survive, do good for yourself and others, but don't always do it in the way people expect.

That build up (and something I've intended to put to copy for a while now) serves nicely as a backdrop to last night's activities, which featured a planned pub visit which led onto a late night supermarket visit which neatly led to a 1am barbecue, via a ride on a very bumpy track and a misty journey across some moors. Little more needs to be said, simply because it was all just random.
