The next reveal is happening much earlier than I thought. You see, I only sent off today’s shrine less than a week ago; on Monday, to be precise. It had to travel all the way to India to get to its recipient. That is where the instigator of the #RichieValentineSwap lives – who had been drawn out…
Welcome, mesdames et messieurs, to another instalment of the Weekly Round-up that promises to keep you warm when it’s stormy and cold outside. Or that keeps you distracted from the heat, when you happen to be in the Southern hemisphere in February, for that matter. Did you all enjoy the update courtesy of Michelle Forbes on…
Over on Herba’s blog Unkraut vergeht nicht a creative project has been running for basically a year now. In February 2015, Herba and her friend Pö started a community challenge that calls for creative interpretation of a topic that is newly announced at the beginning of each month. The theme for January 2016 was – fittingly – “Snow”.…
A good week for fan art! Not only here, in blogworld, where you may have spotted the avalanche of odes that was kicked off when Servetus posted a call to ogle Richard, and Kathy retorted with an ode to ogling. Not to be outdone, several other readers chimed in with their odes. (For your convenience, they…
Do you remember the good old days of AD 2014 when the last part of Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy “The Majestic King” (better known by the wider public under the misleading misnomer TH) was still before us and we amused ourselves in the run-up to the final premiere with some creative rhyming? Not that the “Summer of…
What a week. With such sad news – RIP David Bowie and Alan Rickman – and such happy highlights for me personally. That is life, I suppose… Ups and downs, grief and joy. And what will this weekend bring? Will there be a little bit of joy for Mr A in it? He is nominated for…
Despite some sad news with David Bowie’s and Alan Rickman’s recent deaths, 2016 is starting beautifully for me. I have just received a gift that is such a surprise and such an amazingly generous gesture that I have to share the news with you – not least because it comes with fandom love attached. Let…
Well, that was quick. I ordered my vanity project RAPS photo book on the 5th of January – and yesterday the finished product was delivered by mail. Unlike a few other photo books that I had ordered in recent times, I loved the quality of this one immediately. It looks like it *is* a proper book – with…
How are we doing, with week 1 of the new year under our belt? Everybody back to work? Looks like Richard is, too, freezing his peaches off in Berlin *sniggers*. Well, I presume they are filming indoors, too. Last night I started writing in my new notebook. I transferred the list of shrine commissions from…
There is something incredibly satisfying about starting afresh. A new year – lots of resolutions. A new project – lots of ideas and hopes. And incidentally I am launching into 2016 with a new notebook, too, since I have run out of space in my old notebook. But today I am particularly excited because I have finally…
