An Afternoon venture into the Garden

Sunday, February 11, 2024

It was mild enough for me to go out into the garden today and have a little fire in the chimenea. It was lovely to see that Spring is finally starting to claw its way into 2024 :)

My Yew Cutting, taken from this magnificent tree down the Gower Peninsula, was looking nice and healthy:

Another bonsai in the making - this time a Cherry Tree

It was nice to see that the Sycamore, grown from a trio of seeds I collected a trio of Sycamore from the sacred Chalice Well Gardens, the sacred in Glastonbury:

These three seeds have now formed a rather cool 'single' entity whose contortions continue to amaze :)

Guy N Smith - Crabs Omnibus

I don't think I've mentioned this addition to my Guy N Smith archive yet. It's probably the highlight of my collection too - the handwritten Manuscript, typescript and final printed book of Crabs Omnibus, all signed by the author.


Garth Marenghi - Incarcerat Night Out

The Garth Marenghi Incarcerat Tour Poster

It's been a while, but I dragged myself out of the house this evening. I'm so glad I did, as Garth Marenghi was on top form for his Incarcerat show at The Grand Theatre. As well as his usual reading from his new novel and his Q&As from the audience, he also did a little directing as a couple of people were encouraged onto the stage to audition for a possible new movie of one of his classic tales. I haven't laughed so much in ages. To top the evening off, I also picked up a free large Garth Marenghi tour poster, which I plan on framing, and got the great man himself to sign the paperback copy of his novel for me :)

Lego Signalman Update

Wednesday, February 07, 2024

My Signalman diorama is slowly improving:


"Halloa! Below there!"

Tuesday, February 06, 2024

Still no contact from the biologic team so I'm gonna ring the hospital tomorrow. If its going to take much longer I may need to go back on the Methotrexate as my condition is worsening every day. To take my mind off things, I'm continuing work on my Lego Dickens' Story 'The Signalman'. The train hasn't shown up yet but I've worked a bit on Signal House and landscape. The signal house may change but I'm happy with how things are progressing with the diorama... "Halloa! Below there!"
