Easter Friday and my family and I hopped onto a train and headed into Sydney. Yes, the sky looked decidedly miserable and treated us to not a few drops, but we were happy enough. Good old Sydney rain at Easter! Today we visited my mum. Mum lives alone in a unit (flat or apartment according to which variation of English you use). She likes living close to a city; above
Hi all, By now many of my longer-running readers would probably be wondering where went all the promises of easily-made but professional looking art. So here is one for you guys. The following picture was made in about 30 minutes and required very little skill on my part. Yet I must admit that I really quite like it. The character is Asype, the Western Pilot of Shade. He is a
Sorry, it’s a bit of a day for posting more than once. Doris kindly sent me her signature and I have added it with my own on the picture.
Today I discovered that a friend had died. He had died almost four months ago. Not much of a friend am I, to remain oblivious to a fact like this for so long. *** A few years back my family joined the local branch of the Doctor Who Club of Australia.

Finding Forgotten Inspirations. Say those three words over a few times. Done so? Cool! That is the name for the new set of YouTube videos that I am currently making – the first to be released this weekend. I was working on my video of Bath and a few random thoughts – new viewpoints – blundered into the emptiness of my head. These were suggestions/interpretations for my novels and stories
By now you are probably certain that I am insane, or at least overly-ambitious with my plans. But here are some more, as well as some progress. Site changes If you haven’t noticed I have really been playing with the gamer pages on this site. Pages? Yes, plural. I figured that I wanted to write my entire experience from the first computer game I played in a museum in Birmingham
Hi all, just a little post to tell you about a few changes to this blog site. I’ve now added a contacts page. A friend of mine suggested the need for people to contact me privately, and so here it is. I’ve also changed the name of the “WAR Clan” page to “My gamer life” and in it I will be adding totally self absorbed stories about my experiences playing
