Plans...

I realised the other day that there are a number of posts I have meant to make here and I've gotten very behind on everything, between planning, marking and sleeping. So my little goal for myself this weekend is to catch up on the posts I want to make here. There are a couple of book reviews that need doing, and of course news about my weekend last week, expect lots of pictures there...

In other news, I've found a host for my writing website that I'm happy with. I'd post the URL, except that at the moment you'd only get a 404 because I've not created the site yet. But watch this space I guess.

Tonight I'll be dogsitting, which isn't as arduous as it sounds even with the fact that they're two boxers, because all that happens is that they come in and comandeer my bed and sleep for the duration, but Mum's out at a spa in Norwich and Dad's out playing at a gig, so... it's just me and the dogs... oh and Dr Who, with last weeks shocking revalation - not posting spoilers but really... he just /can't/ have. It's WRONG!

Last Weekend...

Pardon my little joke at the crew's expense... Joking aside, the volunteers who worked the convention, on the whole, do a thankless task in a very friendly and professional manner. Mind you, those guys, the volunteers I mean, were in black shirts. It was these others, (it said 'pit boss' on their ID tags strung around their necks), the Redshirts, as they got dubbed, who were the ones to watch out for... especially the the guy with the hat, whom, I have to be honest, I found a little creepy. Still...

Milton Keynes, land of the Concrete Cows, is only about an hour's drive from me down the M1 motorway, so it was really no hardship to travel there every day from Saturday to Monday. I missed Friday, because I was working, but did manage to go all the rest of the days.

( Saturday - SGA Spoiler Warning )

Saturday in summary - Traffic jams and jet lag, cut off conversations, the need for a close encounter with a bic, British education and a shout out for Crewmaster James.

( Sunday - More SGA Spoiler warnings )

Sunday in summary - English or British? Charming Candians, The educational merits of Robin of Sherwood, the great stores in MK:The Center, and long conversations about Michael. A shout out to Gwyn for being such a good sport too.

( Monday - Even more SGA spoilers )
