Halloween Lego Diorama 2025


Despite the odds, I managed to complete my, very cramped Guy N Smith Lego Diorama, which reference over 20 GNS novels: Can you name them all?






And here is the final Lego Guy N Smith Diorama. I hope you like it:


Halloween at the Hospital

Hospital day, where covering dermatologist said department is too busy to provide bespoke letters for employers. "That's was Occ Health Employee Services are for," were her exact words. She did say they would post me copies of my consultant letters to hand in though, but god knows when I can expect to see them. Unfortunately, the weather was harsh and took its toll on my face, which triggered more pain for me. I was too self conconscious to  take public transport though. Grrr. Here are some Swansea scenes I pictured on the walk though:



Flare

Been a rough final week of October. The end of summer has now really hit home and I have been off work for the past week with the worst skin flare up I've had since starting on my biologic injections. 

I have fallen way behind on my projects, what with the Sept/Oct walking challenge, and then my flare, but I am hoping that I still have time to pull everything together in the last 2 months of 2025

Work-wise, I am probably going to trigger an attendance warning, but it is what it is. I started 40/60 hybrid working at the start of the month, where I work from home every Tuesday and Thursday. I have applied to flip that to a 60/40 working pattern, where I work 3 days from home and 2 days in the office to help me better manage my various health conditions. This went down like a lead balloon in some quarters. I have been told I need to get both a GP and Consultant's letter to back up my application for a Reasonable Adjustment in my working pattern, but I still haven't heard back from my medical team since I emailed them. I had my Occupational Health interview with a doctor today though, and he told me he was going to back my application, and I am seeing my dermatologist tomorrow, so I can ask them face-to-face for a letter the morning. The only trouble with that is that she is not going to be my regular consultant , but I can't see why it will be too much of a problem. I will just have to see tomorrow. Again, it is what it is.

Lying awake at the moment, waiting to sleep, so I'll end this entry here, and get on with making a plan of action to get back on target with my New Year's target resolutions. 

Before I go though, whilst I have been too unwell to do much this past week, I have produced made an illustration for the Guy N Smith inspired ghost story, which is currently waiting for a second draft overhaul. It probably gives too much of the story away, but hey ho:

 

Satan's Snowdrop Legofied

Not perfect, but it's the best I could manage:



Getting Cramped.

 It's getting a bit cramped in there, but I am getting there. And I have 5 more days to get it finished...
