A really lovely Christmas night out with the awesome and lovely team I used it manage. A sort of farewell that was needed for us all. One chapter closes the next really begins...

Set a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters.
The Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies—known as the kindly ones—against whom even the gods hesitate to stand.

Hello good people of BlueSky,
I've been very quiet recently.
New job looming, so normal tidying up and boxing off before I leave is taking up my attention and time.
And I've also downloaded my biggest writing nemesis - Football Manager. This would wreck my writing progress.
However...

My life is weird & I dog sit sometimes. And I firmly believe the outdoors, a dog, a crisp autumn morning and good music (Biffy Clyro) is one of the best combos in the world.
Hope you have fun today too...
