This Weekend Just Gone

fiat_knoxOne main highlight of this weekend just past was that the folks went up with Sam to Pant Asaph, a place of meditation and peace with an extensive peace garden.
I decided to loan my nephew Lucy, so that he could take some photos. He was, to put it mildly, chuffed beyond words. Sam knows how much Lucy means to me, and so to entrust him with her was a gesture of trust of the first water.
And now he wants a camera like my ZD 710 all of his own for Christmas. :)
The other main highlight of this weekend gone was that my Dad managed to clear out the shed. Now, there are only a hamdful of my old books there, alongside a bunch of John Crichton's stuff. I'm going to have to put these books into boxes and bring them up to the flat some time soon - I'm disturbed by Dad's eagerness to make this move immediately, as though he were preparing for some imminent ending of some sort, and he was eager to rush everything before some literal deadline.
I got online again earlier today (the shed computer's still unstable and the connection's still shite so this weekend I remained AFK and not by choice). I note that Signs & Portents 71 is out, and in a brand new format; however, my latest article was not in it. A shame.
And my Ro Focale story's moving along nicely. I'm tying in Psion, Agent and the Spinward Marches supplement. There's a world somewhere in the Spinward Marches where several islands have names such as Lacuna, Aubade, Beau Ideal and Benison.
Benison is a chain of three islands in temperate waters, the length of which combined compares roughly with the size of Britain. These islands are separated by narrow straits called The Interstice and The Caesura. The individual islands are called Coquette, Doula and Relict.
The capital, and the main island, is called Cockaigne, and it lies opposite Benison.
At least I enjoyed this weekend. :)
