I think I’m mostly packed for tomorrow’s trip to Birmingham, Covid test willing.

Prepping to head off again tomorrow, this time to UKGE. Tickets printed and train seats booked, although I’ve had to change my return train as there were no seats available on the one I’d intended to catch. /1

The Rington’s lad should have been here by now. I suspect the foliage ate him. (The garden went berserk while I was away, but it rained yesterday so I haven’t been able to get out and hack a fresh path to the door)

Got home about an hour ago and now attempting to decompress. Probably no rest for the wicked before I head to Birmingham as there’s more than a few unexpected bits of work to take care of in my <checks calendar> two days at home

Not that developers tend to take much notice of the law anyway if there’s something in their way, but this is wrong. Cut VAT on refurbishing old properties so building new is less attractive

On the penultimate leg of my journey home from Chaosium Con UK. Stopped off in London for a few hours to have lunch with a friend, and now trying not to fall asleep as we hurtle through the countryside in a northerly direction

I laughed so hard during this evening’s improv Call of Cthulhu game with the lovely Miskatonic Playhouse people that I cried and my ribs hurt. Ah, so much fun!

Smashing Rivers of London VIP game this morning. The players were wonderful and I laughed a lot. The Call of Cthulhu panel was followed by lots of chatting to happy gamers, then rounded the day off by watching Mike Mason run a game for the Miskatonic Playhouse

Daily Covid test on and brewing. Something was upsetting the local corvid population at about 5 am. Hopefully not the little robot lawn mowers

Lovely first day of Chaosium Con UK. Lots of catching up with people, a lovely panel with Helena Nash and Paul Baldowski on writing for the Rivers RPG, a BBQ, and the Waters of Leith actual live play thingy with the Miskatonic Playhouse folks. All great fun!

Up and at ‘em for official day one of Chaosium Con UK. Not great that I’m already losing my voice!

Very long day travelling to Chaosium Con Uk and hanging out with lovely people. Tired, content, and still full of masaman curry

Finally on the train to London on the first leg of the journey to Chaosium Con UK. This train is running 15 minutes late, so I feel vindicated in buying an open ticket for the next leg of the journey

On the wrong side of Durham station waiting for the wrong Costa to open because I don’t like the travel cup selection on the right side of the tracks. My train may or may not be late because of a points failure between here and Edinburgh

Realised that I was running short of FFP2 and FFP3 masks as I was packing tonight. Trying to obtain anything that isn’t black or white is increasingly difficult. Still, managed to get some colourful ones, which should arrive in time for UKGE

And that's all but 2 pages of this month's printer allowance used up on the day it refreshed, and all in the space of <checks watch> about 10 minutes. Good job I have a good wodge of rollover pages left.

No, you're attempting to finish an editing pass on a scenario the day before you leave for a convention in case you can't run the one you have planned. One day I will stop doing this to myself. But today is not that day!

Toiletries and other bits and bobs located for the trip to Chaosium Con UK. I’ll pack tomorrow night, but it’s nice to know where most things are before we get to that point!

In today’s instalment of “It’s a Small World,” one of the ladies at yesterday’s embroidery workshop is a gamer. Today, I found out that she owns a copy of Cogs, Cakes & Swordsticks, my steampunk game, from way back when 🙂

Lovely day down in Marske teaching blackwork to some of the ladies I gave the talk to a couple of weeks ago. The weather was grotty so I didn’t go down to the sea front. The ladies did really well and produced some lovely pieces

Marks & Spencer have joined the ranks of shops, like Roman Originals, who want fat women’s money but don’t want the shame of us being in their actual stores. Want anything above a 20/22? Online only. Bit of a problem when online doesn’t currently exist for M&S
