13:19 GMT, Monday 29th October 2007. It's been a glorious sunny morning. The journey into work, traversing the wild open countryside between Bristol and Bath was a real pleasure today... an endless procession of trees lit up and on fire, touched by the sun, errupting with autum colours.
Had a great weekend, although got off to a sluggish start...woke up at 4A.M., went downstairs, got a drink, went upstairs to the Sky Bunker, turned on some lamps, switched on the laptop, and then realised the room was starting to spin. Urrrrrr, damn, hangover, a legacy from a "quick drink" with my boss on Friday night...I only just caught the last bus home, and arrived in Bristol barely able to string a sentence together - and I had to go with Jo to meet her brother and his wife for a social.
Went back to bed then up again and a drive across to Gloucester Road, and sitting in my old favourite "coffee #1" by 11 A.M. Met up with Kevin to do character stuff, then over to Simon's for more character stuff, and then the rest of the day was my own. Jules Ms Scarlet came over and I cooked up a wholesome winter stew.
Sunday was perfect. Miserable grey rainy day outside, and I had no reason or intent of leaving the house. Fried up some quality bacon for the two women, served with warm croissants and big mugs of tea. Then spent the rest of the day doing 45 minute shifts in the Sky Bunker, working on Shadows of the Quantinex. Grabbed 10 minute power-naps between shifts, or spent a few minutes sitting downstairs...brewing up strong coffee in the metal gizmo Kelvin bought for me last Christmas.
Fell asleep on the sofa at 8.30, crawled upstairs to bed with that delicious overwhelming sensation of deep tiredness, fell into bed and slept right through to 5.30. So managed 45 minutes work on editing Yellow Dawn rules - currently creating new Great Old Ones and Outer Gods - before jumping back into bed with Jo, then mugs of tea on the sofa and News 24 before heading out to grab my bus.
