This is my first post in 2019 and I will have to start on a slight negative. I am 12 days into the month and I have been watching tv in the office and haven’t managed to get much writing done. Although I have been doing some of my favourite procrastination, world building. Tomorrow is…
It’s not really surprising but the government is preempting the release of Google Glass in the UK by banning people from wearing them. Not really surprising given how distracting it would be having images or anything playing across your vision while driving. I t would cause some crazy crashes sooner or later, I would have…
Yearly we go down to Norwich to visit our friend who lives there. It’s a nice weekend of chilling with mates and having a few drinks. It was just me and Pauyl travelling down this time, has been for the last few years. Our friends can be flakey. This year we went to the buffet…
It’s getting close again although it shocking to say that. Can’t believe how fast the year is going, nearly September and I am signing up for some free workshops and taster courses to do in September. One of them is meant to help with preparing for Nano. I always seem to struggle for some reason…
