That's better.

Your website seems to be down.

I don't know, it was too long ago, but death frisbees may have featured.

We have some on our bedroom wall.

And Adrian Henri who wrote this around the same time.

Brian Patten's poem Where Are You Now Batman?

Do you know Brian Patten, one of the Mersey poets who wrote this in 1967?

Stumps have been around as long as trees have been hit by lightning.

Very nice work.

See @helenzaltzman.bsky.social for links to their several podcasts, including @allusionistshow.bsky.social. I've listened to 162 episodes in the last two months, which is which I've not been listening to yours.

But Horror Hospital!

Cover for the Opener of the Way, Robert Bloch, 1945. In brown on white showing a stylised humanoid with pointy ears and wearing a loincloth reclining against a gravestone.

And this kind of thing.

I recommend Phandelver too. It's got a bit of everything in it.

Are you married?

I think James managed fine with his.

All that and it was much easier for wheelchair users like me to get around as they made sure the aisles were big enough.

We've been through something similar with my mum. We've arranged someone to visit her once a week to take her out shopping. It costs less than running a car would, especially given insurance for over 80s.

Death comes in many guises, nah it's a skelly with a lump of wood.

It was a very good day, and lovely to see Gar too.

I think I've talked to everyone at #Dragonmeet except @pacogmsmagazine.bsky.social.

I imagine @allrolledup.bsky.social might sell that kind of thing in Booth 28.

A large conference area, mostly empty except for a queue of gamers and a smaller queue for the trade hall at Dragonmeet.

The queuing area at #Dragonmeet is larger than any previous Dragonmeet.

Thanks, Tim!

Indeed. Unless you enjoy world building as a solitary process, why write what the players are never going to use? Play to find out.

But keeping things consistent is a constant process, that I enjoy. You don't need to see much Star Trek to see them forget tech they invented two episodes ago.

That's fine, I don't understand Tamil.

I'll be the beardy old guy in the wheelchair.

Me too but I'm not sure we'll recognise each other from our pictures.

I suspect after some years of this she might like something new for a change.

Cray Valley beat the world record for attendance at a football match. Must have been quite crammed in. #IsthmianLeague #CrayValley #WorldRecord

I started in March. My wife likes old paperback sensationalist UFO and folklore books so I collect a pile during the year and provide her with several months reading just when the year is darkest.
