the year that wasn't

This was supposed to be the year I get on with stuff

Con Quest - was originally supposed to be a shopping tryip - then an opportunity to meet new people and play some games, then the Thursday group was going to go

I bought some gear before Conquest, the Thursday group dropped ut and I got a sinus infection and couldn't go anywhere anyway - one wasted ticket and a sense of dissapointment

Southwell - music, people, beer and food were fantastic - the camping was the worst experience I'd had up until that point (and I've had a colonoscopy) came away with a bad back and we came home early - however if we can figure out how to sort the sleeping arrangements then I think we're going next year without a doubt

three weeks now I've been in constant pain and very little sleep down to a 6 inch long by 2 inch high by 8th of an inch deep strip of flesh that should be on my leg but isn't this was down to an infection that I picked up from somewhere that has gone away now but the after effects are still with me and will take weeks to go - also sciatica (I think stems from Southwell)

BUT - I'm still smiling, I'm still pushing on and although I'm slowed by this I WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY THIS OR ANYTHING/ANYONE

Whooverville next month (Who con in Derby), Nerdfest in Nottingham in October and Nova Con in Nottingham in November

and next year It's going to happen all over again

started buying cds aff amazon

going to collecvt Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and a few others, if you hunt around you can get then for 3 or 4 quid each on CD and as I'm starting from the beginning I'm listening to their early stuff which is great

now I have to go through my character for tomorrow, go through almnost all the characters for my thursday game so I can get the power levels right -  and get some work to do for the thursday game which is back on this thursday

so apart from insomnia and pain things are going okay

:)
