A Muse Visited Me Last Night
Twilight Zone
I was given a lottery ticket as a Christmas present a few weeks backs. This was the first time I had participated in the National Lottery for well over ten years and I held next to zero hope of actually winning anything with it. But hey-ho, I only went and won £116 with it :)
After sharing the prize money with the purchaser of the said ticket (who happened to be my lovely wife), I was left with nearly £60 to play with. It took me nearly three whole weeks to decide what to spend my loot on, but ultimately decided to buy this amazing set of Blu-rays, which features every single episode of the old classic Twilight Zone series :) I also picked up a copy of the amazingly detailed book The Twilight Zone companion, to help me along with my viewing, which I found on eBay at a ridiculously cheap price:
As ever, my 'little' pwscat wants in on my photograph |
I am going to really enjoy getting stuck into the gems, but with over 177 hours of entertainment to make my way through, it may take me some time...
2020 ~ The Adventures Begin...
Despite the heavy rain and howling wind, I had my first adventure of 2020 today, walking out to the Sgwd Clun Gwyn and Sgwd yr Eira waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons.
My first stop was at the mighty Sgwd Clun Gwyn waterfall. Although the spectacle of Sgwd Clun Gwyn was impressive in the extreme, this was not my primary port of call and after a quick photograph and video of the waterfall, it was then on to the more distant...

... Sgwd yr Eira, Wales' finest waterfall!

As you can see from the videos below, you do have to be prepared to get wet if you take this little jaunt behind the waterfall. And during weather conditions as wild and woolly as they were today, when the water actually rampages down to the awaiting river below, you can actually get drenched here!

There are actually four waterfalls of note here, but given the time of day we visited, the atrocious weather and the heavy gloom that descended pretty quickly after I left Sgwd yr Eira, I decided to leave them for another (and hopefully not too distant) day...
So, all in all, I'd mark my first adventure of 2020 a success, despite learning that my winter coat was not as waterproof as I had imagined it to be. The picturesque walk measured an easily manageable 13k steps on my Fitbit, although there were some very steep inclines to negotiate on the route (my Fitbit clocked me doing 111 floors during the walk).
Now, where shall I go for my second adventure of the year?
A New Year Dawns
As the new year creaks slowly into gear, the creative juices are starting to awaken. And the desire to open up my old writing shed door and crack on with my next project grows...
