Many thanks first of all for the interesting comments and replies you left on my fandom post the other day. It is always interesting to hear your views on our fandom. There were many replies both here and on Twitter, and in some cases I was (unhappily) surprised to read about struggles and insecurities that…
A couple of days ago I had a really interesting conversation. I am still wondering why it happened at all, but the context is this: My son is currently travelling in South Eastern Europe with a friend. Master Guylty was calling from the Greek island of Samothraki on Sunday, and by way of conversation I…
I was looking for a reason to write a blog post today because I wanted to update you on something personal. You know what I am like – I dislike too much „I“ on my Armitage-centric blog. I am – figuratively – typing through my gritted teeth right now, because I also strongly dislike starting…
OMG, the excitement doesn’t end. Or rather – whatever goes for excitement these days.

See it as a fun Christmas countdown that will start at the beginning of the month: We are going to kick off the fundraiser with a number of 3-day…
Hot… hot… hot… off the press We’ve got two winners for the two 2020 Halloween RAPSes. Randompicker has spoken, and The Great Bite (right) will go to Helen, while the Mini Boo goes to Ilaria. Congratulations, ladies. (I think I still have your addresses, so you can expect a package, soon :-)) As always –…
