Up, up and away!

I think I was introduced to the Fandom yesterday, having made my way to the First Thursday London Group SF Fan Meeting. As I almost expected, having been in fan-based chatrooms in my time, people have a common basis, but that basis is not often talked about. But I enjoyed myself (even though someone dubbed me the "token German", but hey, maybe I was), met interesting people, and had a good time. I do believe I'll be back next month (but I wish they had found a slightly less expensive pub for the meetings).

Oh, and as an addendum to yesterday's post, the painting (not the logo, mind) of the pirate on the yummy pasty shop at London Bridge always reminds me of Brian Blessed.

Dalek Tiiin!

I have a DALEK tin! It's filled with mallow and milk chocolate coins, it's a tin which I will be happy to reuse, and it was a present... from Boss Lady's cousin.

I've been grinning ever since.

(Oh and fyi, I still don't have net at home; I'm in the office trying to get some of the paperwork done that was hoisted upon me in the last two days. I don't want to spend all Monday doing that.)
