¦ dialling in from Sky Bunker ¦

09:24 GMT, Saturday 5th April, 2008. Just returned home from a lovely little night out. Came home from work last night a little weary and saddle-sore. I cooked up some dinner, then dutifully climbed up into the Sky BUnker, sat down at my laptop and finished off Chapter 22. It had been a glorious sunny evening. Jo was away. I felt like I was missing out. So I packed up, jumped into Swampy and drove across the city to GBH's. Bottle of wine, low lights, big comfy sofa... I ease into a relaxed mood. We call DocToc and he's only a few streets away, on foot... It's the fourth or fifth time I've met DocToc, and the first time we've hooked up outside of Yellow Dawn. He's good company. Interesting revelation from him: about 6 months ago he'd been browsing the Net for Bristol game groups, having only relocated from Bostson, MA... and stumbled upon the part of my site with all the photos and write-up about my life... and read much of it, totally unaware that he would ever meet me or my friends.

He described the surreal situation of sitting in GBH's place, listening to our stories, not really knowing us but knowing the deep backgrounds, and the people we were talking about who he'd never met...

I smiled, and said, "Well your photo's on there now, so you're now part of that world."

We watch The Mist. Bloody hell, what an excellent film. Very Cthulhu Mythos. Very Yellow Dawn - or what Yellow Dawn could become with the new bolt-ons I've been mapping out (plan to write these up after finishing Edge, this Summer).

I woke up on the sofa at some point this morning, grey mist pressing up against the windows...fantastic, I smiled, at the eerie weather, at the fact my head didn't hurt...it was a good night, a great unwind. I left GBH to his deep sleep somewhere upstairs and departed.... the mist burned away to reveal glorious sunny day. Beautiful early morning drive back to Cosy Castle - dropping into Simon P's residence for a very brief HELLO.

So I'm looking forward to cracking on with Edge today and tomorrow, and spending some quality time with my lady when she gets back.
