I'm underselling the feverish quality of some of the concepts - there was one show where a magical clockwork egg played classical music to the woodland critters while Sherlock Holmes watched. And of course, there's Watership Down and The Animals of Farthing Wood, where the bloody deaths of named cast members happens on screen several times in glorious childrens animation.

 In more recent shows, you might find yourself enjoying the gentle humour of The Detectorists though - I caught it while I was back home over November.

Librarian:
My mother-in-law asked if you know the Tottenham Royal Ballroom.  She spent a lot of time there, in her youth, dancing.

Not me :) but The Royal was my parents stomping ground as teen-agers, which would have been sometime during the '40s.  Apparently George Melly used to bum cigarettes from my father, before he became famous. Ironically he managed to scrounge one fro me, in the '80s - when he was back on the smaller gigs circuit. LoL.

Apologies to all those who participate in games that I run.  I just turned 49 (today), and had forgotten exactly how exhausting having a newborn at home is, especially when coupled with a full-time job.  I'm working on catching up, but posts from me may be a bit more sporadic than my initial optimism might have indicated.

Not a problem.

Worry not, oh severely sleep-deprived one ... we guessed !  ;>

Happy Birthday, Youngster!  As Chuffy said, we guessed :)   RL, and particularly babies, comes first :)

Somebody has to raise the next generation of gamers ... where are all the first level characters going to come from otherwise ?  ;>

Ha! I call them zeroth level when they are that age...
Then get to 1st level eventually!

I've had something sprung on me and will not be updating my games again until Monday, March 4th, 2024. Apologies in advance.

Thanks for the heads-up, hope everything will turn out well. Have a nice weekend.

I hope you enjoy the time.

Just a heads up that Fri-Sun March 15-17, 2024, I will be at a retreat. They don't allow cell phone, tablets, and etc. so, no updates from me until I return. Thanks for understanding.

Hope you will have a great time :)

Enter travel montage....

Just a reminder I will be offline until Monday. Thanks for understanding!

"Hi OH! Silver!"

It's the Loan Arranger ...

These extra, uncharacteristic, mid-week updates by me brought to you by my wife's emergency appendectomy.  I'm home with the kid, helping her out for several days, while the first stages of healing from surgery are going on.

Damn.  That's two major abdominal surgeries in the first quarter of this year, when you add in the fact that our daughter was delivered by caesarean section.

Give your wife our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hope all goes well for a speedy and healthy recovery!

Yes, tell your wife, that's quite enough of that !  No more surgical emergencies, thank you !  But seriously, give her our best and hope she's on the mend soonest !  :>

I heard rest and ice cream are good for that!

You can add me to the chorus of voices wishing your wife a full and swift recovery.

What they said. Speedy and complication free recovery. :)
