Christmas plans are continuing apace, and hopefully I'll get everything done that I need to ( Read more... )

Due to various reasons - mostly illness related - I've let this slide the last few weeks, so I'm going to start again. That's not to say I've not been doing anything, but I've not done much and I've not kept track of it, and I do want to make sure I don't stop using my evenings and weekends for myself to at least some degree ( Read more... )

Didn't post yesterday, because yesterday didn't count. Yesterday, and indeed the day before, have been purged from the record because I've been so ill. Now at least I can focus enough to do something, though I'm still feeling shivery and worn down.So, what did I achieve ( Read more... )

Less busy week this week, possibly for the best. We're trying to organise the house so there's been lots of random tidying and organising going on, as well as a few goal-orientated tasks ( Read more... )

A very tiring week, running two hallowe'en parties, but it was well worth it. I forgot to take any pics at either party so I don't have any shots of my Commissar costume, but I was pretty pleased with how it turned out ( Read more... )

So, T'Other and I spent the night playing a ridiculous game of 40k, which is just what I needed after today. I had 5 characters and a baneblade (Yarrick's dedicated transport); he had all 4 types of assassin and a ton or to of terminators. Game on ( Read more... )

I still have a lot of stuff on my list, but I’ve also done a lot and that’s pretty nifty. We got £110 scrap value for the old car which was great, and the superhero run went well. I didn’t win the costume prize, I lost to a guy wearing a pair of shorts and a LOT of green snaz, but given the pain he’s going to have getting that off again I feel that ( Read more... )

It’s been a week of finishing - I finished the story I was writing, and I’m a little sad about that. It’s been fun. Still, I can always have another idea at another time and see what happens next. Paul and Dan have both said they have contacts who still work in Black Library so there is a very, very slight off chance that because that would be a ( Read more... )
