Hey everybody! Merry Christmas to you all, I hope you had a great one if you were celebrating, and a nice relaxing Sunday if you weren’t! I’m just grateful to have a couple of days off work…. My own plans? Tidy up the damn kitchen, and get the final page of my Horror Buffet anthology completed, and get my artistic output back on track.
‘Til Friday, pals!

Hola, everybody! The sun is out, the geese are hissing at people on the canal, and it’s time for a new bonus short story! This one’s a bit of a long ‘un, but if you’re a fan of the X-Files and H.P. Lovecraft, I think you’ll enjoy it!
Toodlepip until Monday!

“Come on, up you get.”
I held out my hand and pulled Smiffy out of the rubble. I grabbed him by his helmet and made him look at me.
“Alright lad, I want you to focus on the tip of my finger. Okay?”
I watched him as he tracked my hand’s movements. Good. He wasn’t concussed.
Eep! Somebody reminded me the other day; I move back to Glasgow 2 weeks from now! While I’ve been doing bits of packing here and there, and have accumulated an impressive number of boxes in the flat, it’s really hitting me now that I don’t have much time left. I’ve done my best to sort various and sundry out, and really now it’s just a matter of waiting… But still, it’s all a bit nerve-wracking!
But the good kind of nerve-wracking 😀 Although I’ll be pretty damn glad when I’ve gotten past the first move, and then in a couple of months down the line, moved again (though that will be within Glasgow, and I’ll be based at my parents’ house in the interim, so that should be significantly less hassle!)
It’s not that I’ve not been sleeping well, or even that I’ve been staying up later than normal (although I do tend to stay up rather later than most people would consider sane, just to keep up with the comic). I’ve just been feeling incredibly sleepy as of recent, during the day!
Time was that I would connect the sleepiness to my low moods, but as of recent I’ve been in an exceptionally GOOD mood, seeing as how I’m heading back home to Glasgow soon! One might argue that I’m simply stressed out about the move, and I’ll admit that I’m almost constantly thinking about it. But it’s different. I’m not anxious about it, nor am I worried in any major respect. It’s just a major event that’s coming up, and I need to plan for it!
Hullo everyone!
You may remember from a few weeks ago, in response to my lyrical waxing on my return to Scotland, that Kracka asked me for advice on where to go in Edinburgh. Sadly, I haven’t been to our great capital in almost a decade, and so I didn’t feel particularly well-placed to provide advice.
So what I did was I asked my old school-chum Dr. Jill MacKay, who’s lived and worked in Edinburgh for a good long time, for her insider knowledge of the city! Jill is not only an expert in the zoological sciences, she is a fantastic writer as well – I heartily recommend following her animal welfare science blog, ‘fluffysciences’, for informative articles, breaking news, and even Let’s Plays!
