HA! At least there are two parts to the co-ordiantes for once.

Hi Obsidian! How are things for your friends in Syria? James Goss (BF writer / producer) lives in Turkey and has reported there have been further earthquakes in his area. Hi Travisina. The friends all seem to be ok but I've heard that in Syria, onions are nary to be found. Not sure what I can do. We've sent off lots of $$$. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Avon is grumpy as usual. He could’ve just said to Jenna “could you please slow down.“ |

Boots with heels are not made for running through undergrowth, are they, Cally?

We're struggling for tomatoes in the UK, but that's nowt to do with earthquakes. At least when I went to Gaziantep last year I took loads of vege, herb and flower seeds – the sorts of things people grew in their own little house gardens. Don't think I took onions though. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Anyway, where are we up to? Here, Sarkof is saying he's ready to die. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Hello everyone. I wasn't expecting to be here today, as I was supposed to be at a church synod meeting, but yesterday the minister decided that she didn't fancy driving all the way to Rotherham through the (potential) snow, and that we would attend via zoom - so I have just time to watch this before it starts. Very happy, as I rather like this episode - I like President Sarkoff as a character, and the wood and the folly are delightfully weird. |

I like this ep, it's a different type of political story without the involvement of Servalan / Travis around Blake's machinations. And for those thinking of getting 'Blakes 7: Origins', Bounty and Deliverance were novelised by Una McCormack, and I think she's done a wonderful job.

That fur coat does seem totally impractical for what she is supposed to be doing - is she turning into a Sevalan wannabe? |

Very strange!! Sarkoff says he can live with a political assassination. There’s something seriously wrong with that sentence. LOL

Amazingly, this Saturday is an oasis of not having any appointments, so I can be here too. I like Sarkoff, though I also find him quite annoying. Tyce should be President, she'd get things done! The wood and the not-a-folly are still delightfully weird - we did a location outing to Quex Park a few years ago, and it's amazing how unchanged it is. Our tour guide was at great pains to stress that Waterloo Tower wasn't a folly but a bell tower! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Welcome, Anne. Glad you didn't have to venture out in the cold. Me too. Although of course it's a lovely day and there's no snow to be seen. However, if we had decided to attend in person it would no doubt have been snowing a blizzard. And it looks to be a very dull day - lots of presentations and filler, very little real business, so this way I can sneak off when it gets too boring. |

Chuck it in the washing machine in Liberator's laundry (or out the recycling chute as so many fanfics would have it) once you get back to the ship. In the meantime, boil to death in its synthetic goodness. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Many more 4am Zoom meetings to come. At least I have numbers of items picked out to send. Advisory in the form of French sister-ex-law and friends who live in France half the year.

Our tour guide was at great pains to stress that Waterloo Tower wasn't a folly but a bell tower! Bell tower = folly with bell in it? It's a secular 12-bell tower - from Wikipedia: In 1818, the Waterloo Tower was built on the grounds of Quex Park. It is a bell tower built by the owner of Quex Park, John Powell Powell, who had an interest in change ringing. Waterloo Tower was the first twelve-bell tower in Kent.
