Fresh from writing myself a list of jobs I have to complete before we go on holiday, I go and fuck it all up by falling asleep on the sofa very early last night and waking up this morning just in time for work and freezing cold. Not only that but I had managed to arrange myself into such a position that when I woke up I couldn't move properly. As I tried to stand up I had totally lost the use of my legs and fell over as soon as I was on feet, I had also lost all use of my arms and turning on the light became a round in The Krypton Factor. Of course I must have needed to catch up on my sleep as I seem to get by on not a not, but it was bloody inconvenient as I have a shit load to do and not a lot of time to do it in. In an ideal world I would be totally up to date and wouldn't be spending every moment trying to catch up with myself, I'd also be a millionaire with my own helicopter but I'd be happy with a few more donations and the time to get stuff done. 

Talking of donations, I am planning ahead to next year now and am still a long way off anything near enough money to be able to commit to several filming projects. Why not visit my Bandcamp page and download yourself a nice audio book and pay whatever the heck you wish for it? There's a few ways you can help, there's a link to my newsletter under this blog that will have more details, but at the moment it's in your hands. 

I am not bothering with Bonfire Night as I just couldn't be arsed with trekking to the forest simply to look up in a crowd of idiots pushing and shoving. Why it is so important to be near the front I don't know as all the action takes place in the sky. As usual the whole affair has been ruined by those three little words that have blighted this country, health and safety. Events such as this should be taken away from the council because they have no idea how to run things. When I was a kid you could walk right up to the bonfire and throw your old furniture on, you were also encouraged to build a Guy to throw on, and there wasn't a high-visibility vest to be seen. Okay so some people were badly hurt but that just leaves the world with fewer idiots. Like the old saying goes, all we need to do is remove all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out. If you're the sort of person who needs a hair dryer to carry the warning not to use it in the bath then you deserve what is coming to you rather than being saved and allowed to vote.
