Fingers crossed the garden should be completed tonight. I'll be out of work at 4pm sharp, and dashing home to see what the final result is! Once that's done, there is still a fair chunk of work that needs doing, and as all my weekends seem to vanish into the ether, I've taken some time off next week to try and get everything done.

I have a dark tale for you, a tale of loss and strife, a tale of swords and sorcery eternal retold, of disease and death, and a quest for the new and exciting.

Wow. Just… wow.

I don’t know where to begin.

As you may have seen from my Twitter feed, I'm off to La Manga (Google it, it's a posh resort in Spain). It's the prize for an internal Yell awards thing called the Gold Awards, which as you've probably figued out I won yesterday. I have a little medallion on my desk to prove it and everything!

I was going to get a new bathroom, but you wouldn't believe how much they charge for those things. MFI gave a finger-in-the-air quote of £6,000! Even with my larger-than-expected bonus that's not really in my reach right now. So instead I've turned my attention to the garden, and plan to get that sorted out instead.

I finished reading Alan Moores Watchmen last night and I enjoyed it a great deal. I've never really been someone that was into comics much, when I was small I read thing like The Dandy and The Beano but when I got to my teens I stopped reading comics since most of the ones I had any contact with were for small kids.

It's my pleasure to announce that I will be running two Icar games at GenCon UK 2008. Click to read more and see a nice pic I did.

yesterday was a long day indeed. A long time ago I signed up to do the British London 10K. At the time I didn't consider what a 9.30 race time start meant...it turns out that it means getting up at 5am, being on a train at 20 past 6, and being in an immense throng of people for a couple of hours...

I'll do a full blog entry on my trip later on, there's a lot of stuff to get across and I'm adjusting back into UK life at the moment! In the mean time here's a pic which I promise does contain a Chameleon. Prize for the first one to locate. ;o)
