No response video just yet - it's almost my birthday, and I'd maybe like to get a video uploaded at some point, maybe book Star Trek Into Darkness IMAX, buy myself a present...

Meanwhile... Oh dear, all does not seem to be well in The House Of CLAN. Their "Gathering" this year has mysteriously been cancelled, and there's no explanation on their ( Read more... )

It just doesn't feel like one week has passed since I got back from holidays. I've gotten back into my usual routine, which I'm pleased to report includes some writing...

...hold on, what's this? Our old friends CLAN are advertising their next Gathering at the University? So just where are all their tents and stuff going to go now? I'm not ( Read more... )

Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson has Alzheimer's

Ah, damn it all to hell. This is probably my greatest living hero we're talking about here, and that wonderful mind is being eaten away by this disease. There IS no God.

This news, just in (to me at least), pushes this into the "also on tonight's programme" slot...

Elsewhat... We are ( Read more... )

Development News... Aaah, that's better - a bit of writing at lunchtime, fuelled by junk food, has set the current Episode back on track. I've not had to scrap very much, and the general thread remains as previously sketched out, and if I can get back to writing at least something every day, I may just manage to forge ahead.

Meanwhile... Some ( Read more... )

This just in... According to one of my fellow CLAN Gathering objectors, Environmental Protection officials have told her that the Gathering will not be happening at the school again. If this is confirmed, and local objections are the root cause, it will make my Mission 101 Task79 - Protest against CLAN
solid, 24-carat WIN. Yes, it's already marked ( Read more... )

Development News... Chapter 4 of the latest Darkhawk story is at last "in the can" - and there's a new title: "The Pandemonicum Symphony", of which the written chapters are the "First Movement". Could be the start of some real progress, now the minor "log-jam" is dealt with. I wonder if I could manage a "writing hour" tomorrow...?

Elsewhat... Pity ( Read more... )

And. We. Are. FREE.79 - Protest against CLAN
SCORE.

In tonight's headline story... It looks as though outstanding financial matters are finally being addressed, and that takes us closer to The Move.

But what about CLAN? Sorry, but I'm not living solely to complain about that bunch. I have bills to pay, work to go to, it's that simple. They've clearly chosen to play the responsible visitors the ( Read more... )

Day Four...
I'm really getting the impression that this bunch are taking the piss. "But the letter says events in the main venue will end at 9.30... but we're in the cafe tent, so that doesn't count" will be the lament - but the tents are connected, forming one structure, so up yours, buddy. Don't go dancing on the fine edge of technicalities - you ( Read more... )

Day Three...

This afternoon, CLAN turned up the volume a bit. We were prepared to continue in a "live and let live" manner, and view that as a brief lapse...

...and then they overran.

Someone decided to conduct a "little" sing-song, for half an hour after the events were supposed to end, as promised in "The Letter". A good neighbour doesn't make ( Read more... )
