I think the first 10ish laps of the Aussie Grand Prix (up to the first VSC) with Young George and Young Chas going at it, leapfrogging each other each lap might be most excited I've been watching F1 since the 90s! God that was good. Race leaders changing every lap? *That'll* never catch on!

An important announcement: Yer actual has managed to change The Stately Telly Topping Manor duvet, IN ONE GO, in less than half-an-hour and with only minimal (though, not insignificant) back-pain involved. It's therefore time, once again, to declare ...

And THAT, fiends and lady-fiends, is how we do that. Yer actual will now be having a lie down in a darkened room in a warm bed with bottle (hot water not booze) and a towel over his head for the next few months to hibernate and recover his shit until he's ready to go again! It's been emotional.

Soon as I get editing Bride of a Vault of Horror out the way (sometime around Xmas week at the current rate), I've got the Stately Telly Topping Manor media sorted out to save me having to watch any actual telly over the festive period. This little lot should keep me occupied up to New Year's Eve.

As it's now the twelfth month of the year and I'm in an 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' mood, The Stately Telly Topping Manor decorations and tree are now up. They'll be down long before 5 January. Truth be told, they'll probably be down before Boxing Day.

One of THEM days. Days when several of the things you've ordered which are gonna shatter your fragile bank account into tiny fragments arrive all at once. In life you win some, you lose some. Still I can, at least, write them off against tax as legitimate "business expenses"!

297,497 words. 263 footnotes. 78 entries (72 British, 6 Johnny Foreigners). 2 essays. Of course, it isn't finished. Now the REAL work starts. Taking probably the next 6 or 7 weeks editing it until it squeals for mercy. But, Bride of a Vault of Horror is now completed to first draft level.

Greetings, y'all, to another From The North bloggerisationism update in the house, dearest blog fiends. Coming to you, as t'were, live and...
From The North bloggerisationism update in the area, dear Bsky fiends. Get it whilst it's hot (or, at least, lukewarm), it may be the last for a bit as I've got this book to write, see (he said, fishing for sympathy ... and sales).

Publishers choice. They really like it. Actually, so do I (wasn't too sure about the green lettering at first, but it's grown on me!).

Keith Telly Topping, why are you taking ANOTHER day off from writing your latest world-class tome to meet up with Young Malcolm for an afternoon of food, fun and frivolity? To which, of course, the answer - as usual - is that we both (but, especially me) REALLY DESERVE THIS. Clear now?

The incoming of the latest set of page-proofs for Island of Terror has arrived, hotfoot, from Stately Telos Manor.
Ladies, gentlemen, it's been an emotional rip-roaring rollercoaster of a ride.
