Just enjoying writing about what I enjoy.

Page Count: 101 Pages ‘Exit 8’ has been making itself known all over my Prime Video, and so the plan was to give it a watch at some point i.e. in about a weeks time when my job ends and I have a little more time on my hands. And then I was in Forbidden Planet yesterday and discovered that ‘Exit 8’ isn’t just a film based on a video game… It’s also a book and that book was staring at me from a…
Not mine, my eldest daughters (I did my GCSEs far too long ago for them to make for an interesting blog post), I think she’ll be ok, she certainly put the work in, we just need to head to the school, later today, and collect her results. Wish her luck… :o) While I’m off doing that, let me leave you with some quick thoughts on some movies that I’ve watched recently. It’s a bit of a mixed bag this…
Page Count: 144 Pages After all my talk, yesterday, of not diving straight into ‘Dark Creed’… Last night, I almost did just that. The days seem to be getting a little tougher, the closer my job comes to its end, and I wanted something that wasn’t going to be too demanding. Don’t judge me ;o) And then I ended up spending the evening with my ex-wife and daughters and I feel like I need to clarify.…
'Infested' did it first and I suspect, will take some beating. If you're like me though (can't speak French and have trouble focussing on sub-titles/actual movie all at the same time...), 'Crawlers' could be the 'spider infestation movie' for you. Check it out... There are thousands of spiders, and screaming victims, so... I'm in :o)
Page Count: 254 Pages (at least as far as the ‘Word Bearers Omnibus’ Collection is concerned) These days, I’m trying not to ‘read the sequel’ straight after finishing the first book; it helps me keep my reading ‘fresh’ but perhaps more importantly, it saves this blog from getting too repetitive. It has happened here before and it’s always a little awkward, isn’t it? ;o) Last night though… I’d just…
Page Count: 415 Pages This weekend was not a good one for reading or blog posts, you probably noticed ;o) Lets just say that it was far too hot and Cat 1 finally lost all patience with Cat 2. Not that Cat 2 really cared much at all, she just got on with the important work of polishing off Cat 1’s breakfast when she got the chance. Honestly, I’m just glad that both of them are back with their owner…
Page Count: 93 Pages While it hasn’t been a great week, it has been a pretty good week for reading and you know what…? I’ll take that, especially when I’ve got no plans for the weekend other than to keep on reading ;o) In the meantime, I thought I’d round off the working week with a Jack Ketchum novella that I found lurking in the back of ‘Red’ . And… When Janet’s car breaks down on a quiet road,…
The end of my job is only two and a bit weeks away but somehow seems to be dragging out at the same time… I’ve handed all of my projects over, to the new folk, now and I’m left with all the ‘leavers admin’ stuff and all the fiddly little bits that it wouldn’t be fair to leave to someone else. If only I could remember where I left my motivation in the meantime… ;o) Add a couple of pissed off cats…
Page Count: 178 Pages You wouldn’t have thought it possible but living in a small flat (with loads of books) makes me uniquely qualified to say this ;o) The smaller the flat, and the more books you own, the easier it is for those books to ‘hide in plain sight. And I’m pretty sure that I don’t own that many books… Either way, my books like to hide right in front of me and while sometimes it can be…
Page Count: 211 Pages I’ll be honest… I’m very much a ‘dog person’ (although Cats 1 & 2 are growing on me) and that’s the reason I haven’t read ‘Red’ up until now. If you’ve read the book, or even just the blurb, you know what happens and I just wasn’t ready to go there. And then I saw a copy of ‘Red’ for sale (Greenwich Oxfam, I love that shop...), the other day, and couldn’t very well leave it…
