A day starts well when I wake up to the news that RA will be doing another Twitter Q&A (Thursday, April 2nd, 2pm – GMT, I suppose) – and find an e-mail in my inbox that notifies me a RAPS has reached its destination. Because that means I have the pleasure of posting a new…
If Mr A were to research medieval Irish history, I have a recommendation for him. Should he find himself for whatever coincidence in Dublin, he ought to make his way to the National Museum of Ireland where he could see some artefacts from the period of time that his upcoming project Pilgrimage is set in.…
And… we are fully back in the swing of things. This time I remembered to compile and schedule the Weekly Round-up on time. It’s been a bit quiet, recently – not really that much new stuff. Richard must be nearly wrapped on Hannibal – gearing up for his next project? Packing his bags to head…
… here is the winner of the one and only Nipplitage RAPS. 19 names in the hat. Lady Luck has favoured Jolly. Congrats. Well, she was quite enthusiastic in the comments, so the universe has reacted. Enjoy some cheeky fun with this, then, Jolly. Meanwhile the shrining bug has struck Guylty. After Nipplitage kicked me…
Ok, you didn’t think that Guylty could resist, did you? With the flurry of irreverently funny and creative material popping up in Armitageworld the last few days re. what has been coined “Nipplegate”, the creative department in RAPS Inc. felt compelled to add fuel to the fire its own contribution to the infamous appearance of…
They say it takes 21 days to break in a new habit. Or 21 to break out of an old one? In any case, my recent travels to NZ amounted to about twice that count of days, and sure enough – the habit of compiling a “tumblr round-up” for you seems to have been eroded…
I am writing (not posting) this post to you the night before we are scheduled to leave the dramatic South Island of New Zealand. We have been here since the 14th of February, and now it is time to complete our circle and go back to the North Island. We have a week and a…
If you happen to follow me on tumblr, you may already have seen that I got the last highlight in yesterday. It was a long way coming. 33 days in fact, and 5000km. The latter in NZ alone. It didn’t disappoint. I am talking about Hobbiton. We arrived in Matamata at 10 am yesterday, and…
Just a quick post. Gisborne, as we all know, is gorgeous. At least the variety that stalks on two shapely legs. But Gisborne, the town, delivers, too. I already showed you one of the pictures from last night’s sunset. Here’s another, complete with wild life: This morning, however, I got up for early Golden Hour…
Finally. The moment I have been waiting for ever since I touched down in NZ. It has taken five weeks, and I nearly thought we might pass this by, but in the end it turned out we did have enough time to take the route back up North via Gisborne. I mean, come on –…
