I'm going to hang my shingle out properly by 'fessing that I've been reading Tolkien, and about Tolkien, for over half a century, and I'm currently obsessed with Rings of Power

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

The land of Númenor resembled in outline a five-pointed star, or pentangle, with a central portion some two hundred and fifty miles across, north and south, and east and west, from which extended five large peninsular promontories.

Books are great Christmas presents.
Easy to wrap.
Low in calories.
Usually somewhere in that not terrible £10-£20 bracket.
Available in many colours.
Can be posted easily (unlike a hoover or two hoovers for example)
Personal to both you and the recipient.
Available to buy from me.

Thanks to lego Rivendell leftover bits, Thranduil's finally managed to get his hands on some decent lembas. Cheers!

Today was beautifully sunny, dawn to dusk, but oh my word it was cold! So here's a summer poem to warm us up
Summer Run
The sun is a copper disc
hammered out on the anvil
of the sky, and I,
forge-lit and foundering,
beat my obdurate nature
against its enduring heat
until I am its molten mirror.

I’m turning in, but, Plur1bus fans? Go read Octavia Butler’s PATTERNIST novels, starting with WILD SEED. Power dynamics and psychics and connected minds written by a science fiction grandmaster, you won’t regret it.

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
How about a silly card
The features the word twat?
And if that doesn’t
float your boat
There’s jaws and Luke and shit
I know it’s early to flog cards
But I’m just that kind of tit...

I want to post this to remind myself when I feel low and gloomy, that Sat8/Sun9 Nov 2025 were dry, clear & remarkably warm. Usually by this point in November I'm deep in the early stages of winter depression, with not even the hope of sun. This weekend I took two fine walks and the sun shone on me.

Great DnD session tonight. I love that we can all be a bit deranged, a bit creative, a bit unhinged , and (in the hands of a competent DM - not me btw) it becomes a more-or-less coherent narrative

One thing to do, especially if you’re a science writer or editor, is when you have occasion to mention the names of the discoverers of the structure of DNA, just say “Watson, Crick, and Franklin.” No one can stop us, and it is correct.

“If you cannot write well, you cannot think well; if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you.”
Yay books!
