For once I was actually ready for it…..Winter 101, good coat, boots, hat and gloves. I just need to get a couple of thick Dr Who scarves and I’m set.
Perfect for duvet days

I always wanted to mess with chemicals, a scientist spending my day experimenting and hunting for clues. I was terrible at school though, never paid attention to the teacher and missed out on any opportunity to spend time in the laboratory. I was “informally” excluded at 16 and that was that.
Now that I’m old and ugly enough nothing can stop me.
Here’s one of the lab kits I really wanted at school over 37 years ago…where would I be now?
Ebenezer’s guide to Christmas
What do you want? I’ve spent over 2 hours trawling one of the biggest shopping websites in the world and I still can’t find something I actually want. Bah humbug to it all. Why do I have to force feed myself reasons to be jolly anyhow?
What’s really important is being around people who actually care about my existence. Besides, the things that give me a real buzz cannot be bought with a civilian security clearance or are too elite to be on any retail shopping outlet.

Spent an offline weekend in Chorley, a lovely small town in Northern England. It was my first trip and I kinda treated it like a reconnaissance mission as I positively want to come back next Summer.
Our trip took us through Manchester Piccadilly but I wasn’t really impressive, maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner. We did, however, discover an absolutely brilliant hidden local gem called Gents Pie Shop which sold homemade quality Northern Pies, Butties and cakes.
The Mince Pie made its way back to Vienna but I scuffed the Butty and Tata Pie in-between London and Gatwick.

Installation in progress
As the dust and hype settles on the Star Wars Battlefront 2 launch fiasco which saw the powerful corporates bend the knee to an outraged player community. I sit here with have my PS4 disk in hand and ready to install.
On Twitch.tv the game has 143,139 followers and consistently runs about 11,400 viewers. Compare this to its predecessor which is now pretty much a player graveyard currently with 205,238 followers and 9 Viewers.
I was 10 when I first saw Star Wars so all this stuff just resonates in my DNA.
Of course, now the dilemma is how to spend my time between the wastelands of FallOut4 and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
