December catch-up

In case I still have any readers out there…..just to let you all know that I'm still around! I just haven’t managed to get typing of late. Oh well.

We've been doing the usual stuff, including watching loads of DVD's ranging from "The Simpson's Movie" (very disappointing) to "Zodiac" (excellent). I went to the 'Memorabilia Show' at Birmingham's NEC, which had its usual mix of guest stars signing autographs and stalls selling old film and TV tie-in merchandise. I was lucky enough to meet some very old friends there, having not seen them for a few years so that was a pleasant surprise.

I'm really looking forward to the new "Indiana Jones" trailer. It should appear on-line soon and be playing in the cinemas for Christmas. Let's hope Harrison Ford can pull off being an action hero in his mid-60's!

Oh, when I get all the photos from our little pre "Hallowe'en" weekend experience together, I'll post them. It was a great fun day, dressing up and watching horror DVD's and all that silliness.

I'm looking forward to Xmas break, although I have to admit I am enjoying my work at the moment so all is ok there. Only a few more cards to send now.

Recently (thanks to Carla's encouragement) I picked up my pens and paper and started drawing my cartoon characters again. The characters and stories are still in development, but it has been fun drawing them after all of these months!

I've also started to exercise regularly with Carla when she does some of her workouts. It's actually been very uplifting! The worst thing is starting each workout, but once you get into it, it seems ok. We do yoga as well, so hopefully if I stick to it I'll get fitter and more flexible over the next year. There has been some mild pain and some breathless moments, but I intend to carry on.

Oh, a mention to Mark's new "Star Wars" blog here!
