Another Doctor Who Postcard!!!

[rusty_armour]

You're not going to believe it, flisters, but I've received another postcard from a
Time Lord! Oh, and it's not just any Time Lord, but my favourite Doctor! Tee hee! :-D








It's so sweet that the Fifth Doctor cares. And as his postcard also has a Canadian stamp on it, I'm assuming he either asked a good and kind-hearted Canadian (and quite very possibly a friend of mine) to mail it on his behalf. Then, of course, he could have infiltrated Canada Post (child's play for a Time Lord, I'm sure) or maybe he even travelled here and sent the postcard himself...Well, however the Fifth Doctor managed it, I'm very grateful for the postcard from him (and any accomplices). Thank you very much, Doctor! :-D

Very nice. I love that pic. :) It must be comforting that the Doctor is keeping an eye on you. ;)

Thanks, crimsoncorundum! I'm glad you like the picture on the postcard! It is very nice, isn't it? It makes me want to watch "The King's Demons" again. I don't think I've seen the episode since I was about 13 or 14. *g*

It must be comforting that the Doctor is keeping an eye on you. ;)

It's very comforting. While I do love the Master, it's probably a good idea to have some protection if I've made it on his radar... *g*

I just logged in after watching "your" Doctor with the Cybermen. Perhaps he mailed the postcard before he left following the convention as it does have a Toronto postmark, near the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant if Google can be trusted. I suspect that would be a convenient place to park the TARDIS.

Tee hee, hee, hee! "Earthshock"! Very sad but classic Doctor Who episode! :-)

Oh, wow! I didn't know you could track postmarks like that! Well, that would be a convenient place to park the TARDIS if he was going to the trouble of sending the postcard himself...or was meeting up with an accomplice. *g*

BTW...HAPPY BIRTHDAY (http://rusty-armour.livejournal.com/116545.html)! :-D

Thank you. Yes, you can track postal codes very minutely. Just type the postal code into Google.

Oh, how exciting to have not just one but TWO Time Lords stalking you! LOL What more could a fangirl ask for?

But I must say, I'm disappointed in The Doctor's penmanship! You'd think after 900 years he'd develop a more elegant hand. But, I guess he's used to writing in Gallifreyan. Perhaps you could give him some calligraphy lessons, Rusty.

I KNOW! I mean, I was excited when it was just the one Time Lord. Now, I can barely contain myself!

But I must say, I'm disappointed in The Doctor's penmanship! You'd think after 900 years he'd develop a more elegant hand. But, I guess he's used to writing in Gallifreyan.

Oh, no! I think his penmanship is very nice, especially if he's used to writing in Gallifreyan. Besides, you know what they say about a doctor's handwriting... *g*

Perhaps you could give him some calligraphy lessons, Rusty.

LOL! Me? Oh, no. My writing (and even printing) is atrocious. A Gallifreyan infant would have better penmanship than I do! *g*

[pyrateanny.livejournal.com]

But the calligraphy on your Xmas cards is always so nice!

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. You mean my envelope calligraphy, right? Well, I put a bit more effort into that. And it's nothing brilliant, though I think the Indiana Jones font that I used on my brother's birthday card wasn't bad...if I do say so myself. *g*

How exciting! Of course The Doctor posted it in Canada. He's waiting to find out if you're okay! How do you address a postcard to the Tardis?

I haven't seen any of the Peter Davison episodes, but I like the look of him. What kind of Doctor character did he play?

You're so wise! That makes perfect sense, of course! :-)

How do you address a postcard to the Tardis?

Yikes! I don't know! I hadn't even thought of trying to write back. Uh...maybe the following:

The Doctor
Big Blue Box (that's bigger on the inside than the outside)
Somewhere in the limitless realm of time and space

I haven't seen any of the Peter Davison episodes, but I like the look of him.

Somehow, I'm not surprised. *g* Well, the "look of him" is part of what drew me in. I had a crush on him because of All Creatures Great and Small.

What kind of Doctor character did he play?

Oooooh...good question. Well, other fans may or may not agree with me, but I think the Fifth Doctor is quite light-hearted with a good sense of humour. He's energetic, but not bouncy like the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor. On the negative side, he can be a bit impatient and surprisingly sensitive (e.g. he storms out of the TARDIS in "Earthshock" when he gets into an argument with Adric). Of course, like all the other Doctors, he has a strong sense of justice and compassion. He's also inquisitive and has a huge fondness for Earth and certain Earth pursuits (like cricket). Maybe this fan tribute vid will give you some idea of what the Fifth Doctor is like:

Oh, what a terrific fanvid! It not only gives a great sense of this Doctor's character, it's beautifully edited. And although I wasn't familiar with the music selection, "Counting the Beat" by The Swingers, this lovely bit of New Zealand power pop certainly captures the mood of the early 80s. Googling, I see that the singer was formerly a member of Split Enz, an old favourite of mine.

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

You know, as soon as I heard "Counting the Beat," I thought it might be your kind of song. *g* Well, I'm happy you enjoyed the fanvid. I agree completely about it being beautifully edited and providing a great sense of the Fifth Doctor's character. :-) To be honest, I knew absolutely nothing about The Swingers until I read your comment. It's cool that the singer was a member of a favourite band of yours.

[karen9.livejournal.com]

Yes! I like this Doctor. I like his suitable-for-cricket clothes and his eighties hairstyle and a sense of humour is so important.

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

Yay! I thought you might like the Fifth Doctor! :-D Yes, I think his outfit is a nice balance between eccentric and stylish and his hair is very eighties. I think his sense of humour is one of the things I like most about him. He has a bit of that Tristan Farnon twinkle in his eyes.

Heeee.... so clever!

I can see how The Master might be a wee bit stressful as a penpal. So nice of The Doctor to check up on you.

Heeee.... so clever!

But, of course! It's the Doctor: my favourite Doctor. *g*

I can see how The Master might be a wee bit stressful as a penpal. So nice of The Doctor to check up on you.

Yes, as much as I love the Master, I'm a tiny bit afraid of him as well. I mean, you never know when he might decide to kill you...or whatever. It's very reassuring to know that the Doctor is checking up on me. :-)

I love the idea of the Doctor infiltrating the Canadian postal system lol, it's a very Doctor-ish thing to do ;) That postcard is wonderful, what a lovely personal gift :)

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

No offence to the Doctor, but infiltrating Canada Post would probably be child's play to a Time Lord. *g* All the same, it is a very Doctor-ish thing to do. And, however, he managed it, I was very happy to receive such a lovely gift. I'm glad you like it too. :-)
