Good evening all. Lovely day today, but very hot. The car claimed it was 41C about 3.30pm!

Les Baux was as beautiful as ever. We were right to get there early. We got to climb all over the castle before it got too hot and crowded and then had lunch before heading to the "Carrières de Lumières"

Les Baux is named after the aluminium ore (bauxite) that was mined locally. The "Carrières de Lumières" is a projected image and music show in an underground bauxite quarry. This year's show uses Marc Chagall's work. It's almost impossible to explain but very good to see!

Another lovely collection of photographs.
I don't think I've been there, what a stunning place.
What a fantastic holiday you're having, classic stuff.:)

My husband thinks he may have had a book for this one at one time.

Where are you getting all these super early episodes? I'm assuming you own them, but am interested in other viewing ideas. Right now, "Netflix" has a pretty decent assortment of early episodes but not every single one. They're super short. Hubby and I may start watching some of these.
The novelization's first edition was called "Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks" and was released in 1965, i think. It was reissued in about 1973 as Doctor Who and the Daleks". First editions of these two versions are worth quite a bit of money.
25 minute episodes in those days, but some stories were up to 14 episodes long and a season could be more than 40 weeks.
I've got official DVD's of most of them with loads of lovely extras.
The others are on unofficial DVD's, also with extras, with soundtracks and photo stills and/or animation used to recreate the episodes destroyed by the BBC.

Today's episode was "The Krotons" fourth and final episode, form Doctor Who's sixth season and second Doctor, Patrick Troughton. It's August and I'm only up to 1969 with an episode a day!
latest

Crystalline monsters that the Doctor destroys with sulphuric acid, They are, obviously, often referred to as The Croutons.
It's a rubbish story, I'm afraid.

Adam and Cameron were just nudging me into starting a book group too. Forget it, misters!!! I'm going to hide my book under my coat, take it into the bathroom, and LOCK THE DOOR! ----WAIT....I don't think that came out as it should have....
Golly, I'd forgotten about that.
Anyone interested ?
