Regenbogen:
I'm looking forward to the new Doctor too, though I am hoping he is going to wear some trousers, lol.

We'll traditionally put up the tree on the 23rd.

Now I need to sleep. I am up late today, because I had to tidy and clean a lot. Tomorrow we will get a visit from some guy from a firm that does windows and doors. We need new windows, because ours are very old and they don't shut completely. They are wood and have lost form over the years and in winter we are loosing heat. It's going to be a big investment, but it needs to be done, because in the long run it will safe us heating costs. I am a bit anxious about how big the amount will be. If we can afford to do all windows at once or if we have to do it in parts. And how long it will take. At least we don't need to renew the basement windows. This has already been done by the previous owner.
After that in a few years we will start isolating the roof. It's an old house.

Dina:
Ooof, refactions at home are complicated.
Best of luck with the windows man. Oh, take care of the kittens. Sometimes they freak if there is a stranger in the house.

Doroga's Cousin:
As someone who has read the Wheel of Time books (very recently, too) my biggest complaint about the show is that they very awkwardly downplay important book moments. The season finale for season 2 (click to show/hide)didnt have Rand's Big Moment. It had Egwene soloing a Forsaken, which may come back to bite the writers in the future.

Dina:
*glomps DC* So good to see you here!
How was your time abroad? (You are back home, right? Getting ready for Christmas?)
I did not read your spoiler, because I have not seen The Wheel of Time yet. I mean, I still have 2 episodes to go, and I am planning to watch them this weekend. I will revisit your post later.
I wonder if I will be able to read more of the Cinder Spires book. I read a touch more on Monday but I am still far from the ending.
I won't comment about the situation on my country but I will say that it is a terrible moment for doing some expenditures I need to do. We need a new water heater (I feel like Harry, taking cold showers) and new earphones for hubby. Of course, he has some cheap extra earphones for now but the fancy ones he bought last year are malfunctioning, so we will have some new ones. We hope we are able to buy those two things with small payments.

Oh, I watched the new Indiana Jones movie! I could not like the character of Helena (the female lead) no matter how much I tried. I found her rude and selfish. But in general, I liked the movie. I think it felt like a real Indiana Jones movie (unlike Cristal Skull), Also, the original movies were not perfect either. My generation loves them because we were children and we enjoy them, but they were not so much better than this one. It is only that now we are older. BUT as all the Weird Citizens (SHOV residents) know, I am not such a mature and serious person, so I can still enjoy the thrilling of a Treasure Hunt and some silly adventure  :)

Regenbogen:
There is a new Indiana Jones? Oh, I'm so not informed.

The windows guy was here and he appeared trustworthy, unlike the other candidates we had in the past years. We have not decided yet, but will do so this week.

@DC
Oh, it is usually bad, when they change important things in the TV adaption. Someday I'll read all the books, but by now I only know the TV version, and I felt it was a cool scene.
I hope this will not change the plot too much in future. As long as I haven't read the books, I won't notice, so probably this is a case of best first watch then read.
