TARDIS Tuesday- Yaz Khan from Can you Hear Me?

Today, we are starting back to my main orchestra, Kensington Chamber Orchestra.  I'm looking forward to it but not the very late night! I don't get home until around 23.45! 

This week is a bit busy with 2 rehearsals, watching Frozen at CBC's school then I have two performances. Balinese Gamelan at Battersea Arts centre in London on Friday and an orchestra concert on SAturday.

Anyway, for TARDIS this week, I have  pretty niche outfit. It's worn by Yaz Khan in Can You Hear Me? in a brief scene where she has a flashback to where she ran away from home.

She wears a grey tiger print hoodie, blue jeans and lilac trainers.

I am not super into animal print but I really like this hoodie. I have seen it over the years but never bought it as I didn't want to pay much for it if I did. The RRP is £135.

Anyway, as you can see, I did find it:

I saw it on Vinted for £5. I made a cheeky offer of £4 as it had apparently been on there for a while and it was accepted.  It's quite cropped which I really like.  I didn't bother to make the rest of the outfit accurate as I didn't have time to look at photos. I thought it might be blue jeans and trainers but I just decided to throw these black trousers and boots on. It was a comfortable outfit for orchestra.

Sending you hugs!

TARDIS Tuesday - Spots for Rosa

 I'm clearly having a Yasmin Khan month for TARDIS Tuesday as my past 3 TT outfits are hers. My main justification- she wears jumpers and trousers and the weather is GLACIAL!

Here's the main outfit worn by Yaz in brilliant story about Rosa Parks.  I last featured it in January 2022, so it's 3 years since it featured it which is quite a long time! This is the first Yaz Khan SA item I ever IDed- as I knew it looked like a White Stuff piece! I like the slightly quirky Spotty design!

Image borrowed from Express.co.uk

Here is my 2025 iteration...Can you spot the difference between 2022 and 2025???

2025:

2022:

The differences are my shoes and trousers!  No particular reason but they are different!  I wore my Seasalt black trousers and my Clarks Funny Dream trousers.

Hope all is well with you.

TARDIS Tuesday- the coat I'm going to be wearing under my coat all week!

Hello there!

I hope you are well!  

This week, I am featuring an outfit I have worn twice here for TARDIS Tuesday, the last appearance being November 2022, I really like this outfit and it is practical for the weather!

It is worn by Yasmin Khan in Series 11.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06q81wy/p06qls32

https://www.blogtorwho.com/doctor-who-the-tsuranga-conundrum-what-we-learnt-about-the-companions/

It features a navy starry and moon-themed jumper from Maison Scotch, a Barbour (I think) red puffer jacket, blue fitted jeans, Burgundy Brogue chelsea boots from Dune.

Last time I put together this outfit, I wore a purple puffer coat, black trousers and navy trainers together with the same sweatshirt.

What happened this time?

The outfit features a red puffer jacket by Barbour (the Jurby), a sweatshirt by Maison Scotch, some burgundy flatform boots from Dune (Pacey) and some skinny blue jeans.  

Occasion worn:  for church on Sunday. I woke up and discovered it was pouring with rain so I simply added my Seasalt Janome raincoat over the top to keep me dry. It was a good call as I was cosy in my down but dry!  Jeans are not the nicest garment to wear in the rain though. Apart from that, I was lovely and warm at church.  Also helps that I was sat with a radiator directly behind me. Not so good- near the door.  Good- lovely warm cup of tea.  Not good- I was 30mins late! Good- I still went.   Not good- poor friend Jenny fell into a pond on her way to church. I hope and pray she is ok!

Embarrassingly, after church, I cycled straight to the station to buy my train ticket and discovered the ticket office was shut. "Noooo!" I wailed outloud to the window  "Why are you closed??! Are you closed all day or is this just a temporary closure!"   At that moment, the roller blind was raised and there was a ticket sales operator.  Awkward to be caught talking to a window!!! Ah well, I got my ticket so I don't have to contend with all the returning to school/work ticket renewals tomorrow morning when trying to get up in the dark will be arduous enough! I am deeply thankful for this small win!

Am trying to use up some items in our cupboards to make sure we have room. This will include food or toiletries.   Trying to ensure we have fewer duplicate items if possible! If C could do this with honey or chutney, I would be grateful! Waaaaaaaaay too much chutney and honey and jams in the cupboard!

Today- used up 2 tiny jars of strawberry jams so these will clear a little space.  Will try to report on things as I use them up!

What do you think of this outfit? I've decided I am going to wear this down jacket under the raincoat all week- hopefully will keep me cosy during my cold commute!!!

TARDIS Tuesday- vaguely Christmassy?

Hello and a happy new year to you!

For TARDIS Tuesday, I thought it was time to start the Jumper cosplays!   These are mainly worn by Yaz Khan who is the only really practically dressed Who character (though her choice of coats/jackets could do with a little less leather) There's one I have worn 3 times and not photographed so I had to make a special effort to get this one snapped!

I last wore it here in December 2023.

It features an orange Mint Velvet jumper, an All Saints leather jacket, black skinny jeans and grey trainers.

Here's my Sunday morning version:

I like this starry jumper- it has some cashmere in it and is very cosy.  The usual Clara Oswald alt jacket makes its regular appearance.  This time, I am wearing my black, baggier Seasalt trousers- they are very comfy.  Finally, I wore my Clarks Funny Dream grey shoes.  They are comfy and I liked the way the red laces ALMOST match my jumper!  The outfit is one that would work for school and indeed, I have worn it quite a few times for school.
 

I hope your new year goes well! I HOPE I don't go to bed too late like I usually do- it throws out of my sleep pattern for days! Grateful we don't go back to school till the 6th!xx

TARDIS Tuesday- Yasmin Khan and her unidentified critters!

Hi there! 

I had a break from TARDIS Tuesday last week but I am back with something SEMI new!. I Last featured this outfit on the blog in November 2022.  It was worn by Yasmin Khan in Revolution of the Daleks for a short while.  FINALLY, she got out of her leather jackets and got into Corduroy... for about 10 seconds....grrr!!! It is one of those outfits where I IDed one of the garments myself- the lovely G Star Deline corduroy jacket but the actual shirt ID eluded me.

Fast forward to last week and my Insta Yaz fan friend Rebecca had managed to ID the blouse! I am pleased because I actually helped her with this.  I shared these screen shots and zoomed in on some to point out some smaller details and other colours and she did some work on lightening and adjusting the colours AND all of a sudden, she noticed there were not just flowers but creatures!  Knowing Yaz had a couple of Oasis blouses, she searched for Oasis AND FOUND THE BLOUSE!!! And once you saw her blouse, you could IMMEDIATELY spot the unicorns!!!!

A post shared by Rebecculous (@rikkuriffic)

And then we had lift-off!!!!

She shared a link to one or two on Vinted but I found myself one for £3 only and it arrived on Sunday to be picked up from the very useful INpost lockers.  I love these!  It's always exciting to

a) try and guess which door will open

b) try and complete the transaction in as short a time as possible as it tells you how long it took you. My current record is 18.2 seconds but I'm definitely up for decreasing this!

I wore my blouse for school today (Tuesday) but by posting time, it's already past midnight!

Here's my take on the outfit.

I'm wearing my G star jacket and Oasis shirt but I wore more school appropriate black trousers rather than blue jeans and added a pair of Yaz Dune boots. We don't see what she wore with this outfit but I'm betting it was boots!

I look fatigued and old but still smiling! Wore my Avon Lacey initial letters in place of Yaz's more expensive Alex Monroe ones. I'd love to own the actual Alex Monroe floral initial ones, they are SOOOO pretty but so expensive!

I thought I'd share some details of the pretty shirt. It's viscose but feels nice to wear.

Here's how I styled it when I got home work! Let my hair down and added my black furry gilet plus my crocheted slippers! IN TARDIS Blue of course!

Hope all is well with you! My day was quite successful! The year 3 classes had actually practised Jingle Bells at home and many were able to successfully perform it in the class. Singing Assembly went well learning You shall go out with joy, our trademark end of Carol concert song.  Year 2 and 1 were quite successful.  The usually difficult year 1 class LOVED recapping In and Out the Dusty Blue Bells and even more loved the new game, Here comes Barnaby  and came up with some very inventive ways of parading down the aisle of clapping children! Year 3-4 Choir went well as they finished learning my new Christmas song and seemed to like it- PHEW! Hoping you will get to hear it just before Christmas!

Can you guess what the title of it is?

TARDIS Tuesday- Yaz Khan outfit no.1 from Resolution

For TARDIS Tuesday, I thought I'd share an outfit I thought I'd shared back in February or January. I didn't realise I hadn't!

A nice girl called Rachel Millar contacted me on Insta to ask about the ID of a blouse I had found for Yaz Khan and asked me if I would like to know some of her IDs. I naturally accepted and she told me about this blouse which featured in Resolution, Jodie Whittaker's Doctor's first New year special.

I wore it for the first time in Jan or Feb and naturally thought I'd posted a picture. But I can't find one! So apparently I didn't!

Fast forward to Sunday and another insta friend posted her ID of this blouse and I said I knew it and I'd worn it! But couldn't find it!

So I thought I would! Sadly, having just had my hair cut, my hair is not very Yaz Khan friendly.

The outfit features a navy floral and bird print blouse from The Kooples plus one of her standard All Saints jackets plus black jeans and her Dune Pacey boots.

I must admit, I didn't spend much time putting this together on Sunday so I didn't check whether to tuck my shirt in or not and decided it was silly to wear a jacket.

I wore my pink Peri top from last week underneath and put on the Kooples blouse which I think I bought for mere pounds. It's stretchy material it's pulling a bit over my pear-shaped hips!

I wore NOT my usual black trousers (which have a hole from my bike fall. Ang, I did find them but not got around to sending yet.) but some charity-shopped ones which are loser plus my Pacey boots.

Monday was fun at school. I taught my year 5's about dissonance in music (we listened to various music including The Rite of Spring, the theme music from Psycho and two pieces called From the diary of a fly  and  Night music by Bartok.   Several of the year 6's turned up in my room at play AND lunchtime AND in the afternoon and some of the year 5's were there for 30mins to compose a song for a teacher who is leaving (my fellow treasure island director). I then sorted stuff but got very little done so tomorrow (and Wednesday) will be busy!

Hope you are well!

TARDIS Thursday- Village of the Angels Yaz

Hi there,

Greetings from Lurgy-ville! I started to feel a bit unwell on Sunday night and now I have a fully blown cold.  Yesterday, I took 18 children from my Year 4 recorder club to perform in our local borough's annual recorder festival.  It was the first one since 2019 and is a festival I have been taking part in since about 1988! We had a lovely time (although had to wait 30mins for the last parent to collect their child!)   It was sad that only 3 schools (plus the music school) accepted the invitation to take part.  In past years, there have been dozens of schools. I wondered why? Is the recorder not being taught so much (wretched Ukelele)? Was it too last minute? I do hope that it will develop again more next year.

My children were really proud of themselves and really excited but nervous to do their first performance with other schools.  When I look at the children I took (one last minute was not able to come), I laugh at some of the children I have who used to be really difficult in Year 1 and who are now proudly playing the recorder and turning up to a lunchtime club voluntarily on a weekly basis! I am so glad to offer them this opportunity! The audience was very warm and receptive and appreciative and the parents were really excited to see their children perform.

For TARDIS Tuesday today, I am featuring Yasmin Khan again- 13th Doctor companion.

It comes from Series 13 episode, Village of the Angels.  This was a creepy but brilliant episode with tension in bags!

She wears a navy silky floral shirt from All Saints (The Adeliza Spirit shirt) plus a brown fur coat from Zara (and NOT her usual leather jacket!) plus black buttoned down jeans, tan belt and Dr Martens Leonore chelsea boots. She wears a bright red top underneath and her  Y and Z initial necklaces.

https://tellyvisions.org/article/doctor-who-flux-episode-4-recap-village-angels 

Here's my version:

 Not sure what is going on with my camera but it was very washed out!

With the exception of my All Saints blouse (which has a lovely jacquard fabric with nice big loose sleeves), the rest of the outfit is all other items I own anyway (the usual ASOS trousers, brown boots plus my G Star Deline coat from another Yaz outfit. I forgot to don my tan belt!

This was a good school outfit on a Spring day.

I hope all is well with you!

TARDIS Tuesday Yaz Khan from the series 11 promo

Hello there!

It's been 3.5 years since I shared this cosplay inspiration on the blog! I've worn the items in many other outfits and together but it's the first time I've posted it for a while. Last worn here.

The inspiration is the outfit worn by Yasmin Khan in her introduction images as companion to the 13th Doctor 

Image borrowed from 

https://pocketmags.com/doctor-who-magazine/528/articles/412905/mandip-gill-is-yasmin-khan

She wears a starry navy sweatshirt from Maison Scotch, black trousers, a denim jacket, black and pink socks and space buns in her hair!

And here's moi!

I wore this outfit for church on Sunday though ended up wearing my raincoat to cycle in as it was mizzling again.

I was playing for two services again and leading the songs/worship from the piano. It was lovely particularly in the 2nd church as there were 3 of us in the band and the lovely lady who was singing with me and I sang various harmonies with each other and the drummer really fitted well with us. I'm still finding my feet leading a worship band but apart from one moment, we were really as one.

After the service, I cycled home, even the 2.2 cycle feels easier after doing it for a few weeks.

I felt very hungry so popped into Londis to buy some bacon (sorry veggies) and made a delicious bacon baguette for brunch.  Managed to also get the majority of the cleaning, tidying, washing done when I got home. CBC had a delayed flight so didn't get back till the middle of the night so I ironed his shirts ready for the week. No, I don't usually do that since he wears them so he irons them but I do do them sometimes when I think he's stressed or busy or away.

I wore my trusty ASOS black trousers, probably my most worn item on this blog and added my Maison Scotch sweatshirt. I like it, it's cute and comfy and relatively smart...for a sweatshirt.

I actually wore a denim jacket this time as I had a charity shopped one bought a couple of years ago.

Couldn't resist recreating the photo since my sofa and cushion are a good match! My hair was in desperate need of a wash in this photo. I usually wash it on Saturday morning but I was doing cleaning so I waited and then I woke too late to do on Sunday morning and then spent too long cleaning to have time to do it.

CBC told me I was mad to do so much cleaning but I'm fed up of the house being dirty and feeling like a pig sty so it felt good to get it done. I was watching Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who whilst I did various cleaning jobs and/or listening to vocal recordings in prep for an upcoming recording  we are doing next weekend of my A'level Music teacher's Christmas cantatas.

Notice, the serendipitous socks I chose to wear- oh look, they match hers!!! Good thing you can't see the large hole in the heel!  Maybe this pair had better make their way to school to join the myriad socks I gave to the lunchtime provision staff to use for some sort of sock puppet craft! Oh yes, I will find a use for anything I can!

Hope all is well with you!

TARDIS Tuesday- Yaz Khan Flux

Hey there!

Hope you are well!

As you read this, I shall be back at school (Boo hoo!). I am grateful that we have an extra day off, returning on Tuesday rather than Monday although woe to the poor classes who keep missing Mondays! I teach two year 1 classes, one year 3 & one year 4 but since I have three of each class to teach in a week you can imagine how it wreaks havoc with my scheduling and delivery of plans to those year groups. At least it wasn't as bad as last year with NINE Mondays missed for various reasons!

https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/television-academy-board-directors-nne-ebong-jamily-hunter-1235090265/

Anyway, onto our outfit inspiration!  This outfit was worn by Yaz Khan for the opening episodes of Flux, series 13 of Doctor Who.  I actually can't believe I wore this in November 2021, that's so long ago!

https://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/status/1454058707160113158

Since I wore this outfit last, the shirt was identified as the Bernie shirt from All Saints. I found one brand new with tags for about a 10th of the original price but I haven't worn it for photos yet.

She also wears her All Saints jacket, some button up black trousers (not been IDed but I did see an All Saints pair of trousers which had similar buttons...), Dr Marten Leonore boots, Alex Monroe Y&Z necklaces for Yaz plus a brown buckled belt.

Here's my 2024 rendition!

I featured the All Saints shirt.  It is so beautiful and soft to wear and lovely and wafty.

The colour is super intense in real life!

I wore my charity shopped £3 fake leather jacket.

The trousers I am wearing this time are much better than last time as they are more fitted.  They're ASOS charity shopped.

Mum's brown belt is back to play and I wore my Dune Pacey black boots to go with the outfit.

I wore my KZ floral necklaces from Avon (via eBay).  I don't know why I enjoy the fact that saying Kay- Zee, sounds like saying Kezzie.  It's the small things in life....

Couldn't resist doing a side by side of this short and added in some rubbish looking buttons! Ha!!!

I'm happy we are coming into the cooler-clothes season but it means TARDIS Tuesday gets a little trickier!

I hope all is well with you!

TARDIS Tuesday - Yaz Khan from the Ghost Monument

Good evening!  Greetings from a very tired me on the penultimate day of term.  I needed a quick outfit for TARDIS Tuesday and I realised I had the perfect outfit which could be interpreted as Christmas jumper outfit...sort of!

I last wore this outfit on the blog in November 2020 (and first in January 2020)- I have worn this outfit outside of the blog but not shared online.  It was worn by Yasmin Khan in her second episode, The Ghost Monument.

It's a standard Yasmkin Khan outfit- leather jacket, jumper, jeans and trainers.  Her jumper is from Mint Velvet and her jacket from All Saints.

Here's today's  version.   For the first time since I last wore this, I can actually find my orange jumper! I originally had a red one but bought an orange one but it kept hiding when I wanted to wear it for a photo. It's a bit bigger but is warm and comfy. 

The rest of the outfit is not particularly interesting- I wore black trousers and boots, rather than trousers and jeans so it worked for school.

My trusty River Island leather jacket to the rescue again!

Had a really funny thing happen today.  We had an online Zoom assembly which I had to have with my year 1 class last lesson.  At the end, everyone left and I hadn't managed to press the Leave button.  Suddenly, our teacher said, "Hello, are you still here? Shall I continue my story?".

He then proceeded to tell us a story about a little boy in his house who tries porridge and chairs and gets visited by Red Riding Hood, a Wolf, 3 pigs.  Just as it got exciting, he had to go. 

It was so surreal and funny and I have no idea why it happened but it was brilliant!

CBC's carol service went really well last night! I was super proud of him!

TARDIS Tuesday- Ranskoor Av Kollos

 Greetings Ma Dears!

Hope you are well! Have a choccie whilst you get comfortable!

Hmmm, today went quite well at school. The Year 3 class who were the last year's 'Most difficult class' have actually started to become the best class in that year.  For reasons which I won't state here, there's been changes in the class which has made all the difference and I am thankful.  Teaching them has really improved and actually, they are doing really well! My other 3 classes and drumming were also quite good and we got through all we needed to!  After that, I met with our Speaking and Listening lead to look at applications for our school musical of Treasure Island which we will be beginning after Christmas. We had 101 applications in the 4 days we gave them to return the forms. Now is the difficult part of choosing! And then the process of planning the rehearsal schedule!

We had a really nice weekend.  Sunday, after church, I came home to find CBC trying to get his new projector working. Ended up watching an entire series called Dash and Lily on Netflix as well as Death in Paradise and doing marking. It was all very cosy!

For TARDIS Tuesday I am featuring a look from the finale of Series 11 of Doctor Who Ranskoor Av Kolos which I last featured in March 2021 which was just after we went back to school after lockdown

As you can see, Yaz wears a simple look.  A green sweater under her All Saints brown/burgundy leather jacket, her Alex Monroe Posy Loop necklace, black trousers and, I think, her Dune boots.

Well, let's have a look at mine:

Well, for a start, I think taking outside photos has already improved this post from last time's inside picture.

I started with a sweater.  I DID, once upon a time, see a post that showed where the original sweater came from but I cannot remember as it was taken down not long after I saw it. I am guessing, that this may be the screen accurate sweater as she wore a Whistles Annie sparkle sweater in another episode in aubergine and there is a green version too. To me, seeing them side by side, I think I am right about this. What do you think?

Say a Hello to my familiar ASOS black trousers and my River Island brown leather jacket. They are frequent inhabitants of this blog!

I could not resist trying to recreate this picture! I grabbed CBC's school satchel -wrong colour but similar style. As usual, tried to recreate the hair and failed. My phone worked as an alternative to the pad she is carrying and I used CBC's waterbottle to act as whatever those things are in her hand and added a red and white blob to the picture! Ha!! Maybe should have tried to hold two water bottles thought I'd drop them!

My 40th birthday present was this beautiful necklace!

I wore this outfit for church on Sunday with an added grey cashmere cardigan underneath for warmth! Very glad I added it as it was a bit chilly!

Hope all is well with you!

TARDIS Tuesday

Hello there visitors,

I hope you are well!

For TARDIS Tuesday this week, I have something new to share!  This is always exciting!

I have @_rachelmmillar on Instagram to thank for this one.  She contacted me to ask about a Yasmin Khan item I had identified and then  kindly told me about some items she had identified herself.

But what was that?

It is the jumper from an outfit worn by Series 11,12 & 13 companion, Yasmin Khan. She wore this briefly at the end of New Year special, Resolution and also wore it for an appearance on Children in Need in 2019 to meet a sweet little girl who was a huge fan!

Rachel identified the jumper as a jumper from White Stuff with a sequined star on it. She wears it with a pair of black skinny jeans and boots (I think they may be her Dune ones) and her ox-blood All Saints leather jacket.  In the Comic Relief outfit, we see her Alex Monroe floral initial necklaces (Y and Z)

Well, here's my attempt:

I started with the jumper, which will make a great any season but useful for a simple Christmas jumper.

I found it for £3.50 on Vinted. With postage, it was about £6. It is warm as it contains Alpaca and lamb's wool in a blend.

I added my brown leather jacket from River Island which comes from a Clara outfit and is what I wear most times in place of Yaz's ubiquitous All Saints leather jacket..

I didn't bother to go more accurate on the trousers and boots and just wore a pair of denim trousers from F&F (charity shopped) and black Clarks boots.

I am VEXED that I appear to have lost my Avon floral K necklace which goes with my Z necklace that I usually wear in place of Yaz's Alex Monroe letters- it's been missing for a few months and I've searched to no avail. Either, I left it somewhere, it got sucked up by the hoover or ????

Annoying. Instead, I wore the little Y and Z I made out of silver mirrored card a few years ago which I hung on chains with jump rings.  Pretty flimsy and only to be worn in the house (I wore my Alex Monroe bee necklace when I was out) but they look the part.

I thought it would be fun to recreate this image (well, mirrored) from Resolution, sans bunting.

We had an absolutely lovely weekend.   Saturday morning (and early afternoon) was spent frantically cleaning and tidying the house. I had invited CBC's brother to come and stay for the weekend as we hadn't seen him for months and it was also a very good incentive to clean the house.

We picked him up and headed to an Escape room.  I am happy to report that we solved it with 9minutes to spare and we all helped and felt we had taken part. It's much better with 3. When we do them with 6, I tend to miss out on a lot.  We then headed to a lounge restaurant for some late-lunch Tapas and then onto a French bar/restaurant for some tea and went to watch free fireworks on the seafront, standing by the cliff railway.  After this, we headed to dinner at a Thai restaurant.  Back home, we drank mint tea and headed to bed.

The next morning, I was up early to go to church. This morning, the vicar was playing keyboard and it was the first time I had played flute next to him. He's a really good musician though I found it a bit harder to see the music.  The service was excellent.

I headed back home and enjoyed some late breakfast with CBC and his brother T. 

We then drove to the seaside to do a circular walk, enjoying some lunch in a seafront cafe/art gallery which we had all to ourselves.  We then dropped CBC's brother to the station and drove home.

We both felt very positive for having spent time with T and having a tidy house so headed back home in an  upbeat frame of mind.

Luckily, only one rehearsal for me this week in the evenings though CBC has persuaded me to come and play viola for a music festival performance on Friday for his school.

Hope you have a good week!
