I have restocked the office fridge and goodies basket [old F&M hamper!]. Other than personal use and abuse, these are handed out to tired looking colleagues. It's week 8 of the semester - all I have are tired looking colleagues.

Raw, power politics in its most brutal form this evening as the Glasgow Phoenix Club has its AGM. Titanic matters to deal with include the Methodist Hall raising its fees by £1 per hour and one regular attendee not having paid his fees.

And the Saturday night movie is at least the first half of this. I met Richard Attenborough once, at a screening of Oh What a Lovely War. He signed my copy of Brickhills Great Escape as Big X.

If you’ve ever loved #bloodbowl, you’ll know who Pete Knifton is, from his artwork.
Sadly, Pete passed away last night. He was a funny, clever and immensely talented guy who always had time to chat. He’ll be very much missed.

At the beginning of the year I was doing Bondercise. Thirty minutes on the exercise bike with a Bond movie to distract me. Then I stopped. Back in the saddle, pant, wheeze.

Wasn’t sleepy so got up and painted the other prototypes for my Voidfighter project. Perhaps neaten them up tomorrow but they tell already. Four more of each of the twelve to do to match these. I should probably design some space fighters!
