Re-enactors' Market
Went to the traders fair today, mainly because there was an officer's meeting for Fox's. While I was there I bought a few books from Paul Meekins, a small pottery kettle and some marbles for Alexander. I also had a tour of Warwick because I was driving sans navigator and went left onto the A425 instead of the A423. Still got there in the end though. Saw lots of people I hadn't seen for ages including, Edmund & Emily with little Ed, Paul Meekins, Howard Giles, Charles Kightly, Mutts, and Sophia Sidney. Also saw a fair number of others that I managed to catch up with at Sherwood Forest pretty ; Gist of the officers meeting was simply that we need to do some more recruitment, and to assist that effort we need to sort out some flyers and then…

Improper Ganda!
A fantastic collection of propaganda posters that have been photoshopped to change the message. Very funny, especially the re-enactment one, and the Cthulhu poster. Worth a few minutes of browsing past in my opinion.

How Defying Gravity would have progressed, straight from the creator | CliqueClack TV
Gravity is currently showing on BBC2, and I enjoyed it so much I watched some of it from the web. I was pretty disappointed to find that it has been canned, for now at least.

(Not so) Secret Santa
We've arranged with some friends who live nearby to do presents and other stuff together on Christmas morning. This is primarily aimed at our children but we thought that we might also get some presents ourselves. However we didn't really want to go over the top nor to make it too expensive. So our collective brains have come up with the idea that we will see who can get the most extravagant gift from eBay. We've all picked a name out of the hat (there being three couples involved) and we've set the following rules: the gift must be under £10 (and ideally that should include post & packing); it ought to be something that the chosen person will like/use; it must come from eBay; you have to have it physically available on Christmas Day; The person that we think…
The library of Triamore: Mundane tractatus
Last night I joined in with Simon Cornelius's Ars Magica campaign. My character is a female Mage (aka Maga) called Lumen, she's a younger daughter of a French baron in the early thirteenth century. Blond, blue-eyed and slightly elfin like, the picture I have in my head of what she looks like is of the actress Laura Harris. Lumen is current a visitor to the Triamore Covenant and brought some books with her in exchange for being allowed access to their library. She appears to be in her early thirties and has not yet settled down and got her own lab yet. Her primary interest is in learning her arts better by reading up, followed by a little practise. She prefers Spring and Summer and gets a little sad in the winter time, being a sunshine sort of person. Apart…
