Monday Music 2 – 2017

Yesterday’s writing took me back to the Brecon Beacons and for some reason put me in mind of this…

Monday Music 1 – 2017

Hi there, I don’t know why I bother setting up weekly things. I set myself up to fail by not delivering from week to week for one reason or another. There have been mitigating circumstances: holiday, work, doing my application for Taste of Cinema and so forth. However, when it comes down to it, I […]

Happy Boxing Day

Hi everyone. Just a quick note to wish you all a great day and say thanks to my lovely wife and in-laws for the present they’ve given me. They have agreed to pay for me to have someone do a high resolution design of the X5. You will soon be able to see my vision […]

Rewatching Blake’s 7 – Season 2 – Episode 1

Season 2 – Episode 1 – Redemption So, here I am, back on the Blake’s 7 odyssey and straight into Season 2. It’s been a while but I couldn’t resist any longer. This is easier than editing my book. We open with a picture of what looks like strange galaxies and then cut to the […]

Monday Music

In celebration of the Seahawks’ great win over Carolina last night, I decided to go with this for the week. Completely nothing to do with Science Fiction. Instead, we’re back to one of my favourite Bruce Willis films, The Last Boy Scout. I remember seeing it at the Warner Bros’ cinema in Manors, Newcastle with […]

Here we go again!

Just a short announcement. Today I started book two of my series. The second book is provisionally titled, ‘Divisions’. I did the first 500 words this morning, which required me to learn all about police interview procedures and section 9 of the Theft Act 1968. Don’t know what the guy at the computer next to […]

Top 10 Star Trek Episodes (Original Series)

I’ve been meaning to do this since last week in the Travelodge in Reading. I was scanning through the episode lists on Netflix trying to find ones to watch. I wondered what my top ten would be. Strangely enough, it wasn’t that hard picking the ten. The hardest part was putting them in order, especially the […]

Rewatching Blake’s 7 – Part 6

Season 1 – Episode 12 – Deliverance (not starring Ned Beatty) Yay. After opening with a bizarre shot of two people in a very small spaceship, we cut to Servalan. Always a good omen. She’s laying down the law to some subordinate over the intercom about not being disturbed. Makes you wonder why she didn’t […]

What happens next?

Firstly, just a quick note to say that I reached a big milestone this morning. When I woke up, I discovered that I’d reached 5000 hits on the website since I created it in the Spring. These have come from over 70 countries around the world. I’m immensely grateful to everyone who has come and […]

Monday Music (on time again)

I was feeling in the mood for something a bit more upbeat and heroic after last week’s tearful entry. As a result, what better than Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones, Westworld)’s excellent theme music from Pacific Rim. A clunky, illogical beast of a film but good fun to watch. The theme music was one of […]
