For the time being I'm going to be aiming for a post roughly twice weekly, but not tying myself down to fixed days. We'll see how that goes. This one doesn't count, really; I am away from the Internet for a couple of weeks over Easter, so I'll start posting as soon as I get back. And who knows, I might have another review or two ready by then, putting me even further ahead; though the priority is to spend time with my family.
So, what's worth saying about the time since I last posted? Since you are probably not so interested in my cosplay at the Jorvik Viking Festival, the main news probably is that I went to a Doctor Who event in Sheffield - my first - and chatted to William Russell, Peter Purves, Frazer Hines, and Lisa Bowerman. I was very nervous and a bit tongue-tied, but Hines - who I met first - was very good at putting me at my ease, so hopefully I didn't come across too badly. Sadly I had dropped my phone down the toilet the night before, and had borrowed my daughter's video camera, which I didn't really know how to use - but fortune was smiling and I ended up with some appropriately black-and-white shots of myself with some of the stars (I forgot to ask Bowerman):
I bought a professional shot of myself with Purves, too:
The other relevant news is that I wrote a Christmas tale starring the sixth Doctor, Peri, and Frobisher, which was a lot of fun (and my first effort at a full story for a Doctor later than William Hartnell's). I'll put that up for you to read too at some point.
Next Time:
In two and a bit weeks: The Watcher.
