Let Down

So there I was, secreted in my model of an ancient aeroplane, suspended from the ceiling of the Musée National des Arts et Metiers, in Paris, at the stroke of midnight on Saturday the 13th. And nothing happened.

When I got home, I discovered that the Vatican is releasing a special edition of a papal finding of innocence of heresy, which came a little late, if you ask me.

Deus Vult

In 1307, Friday the 13th of October, to be more precise, Philip IV of France sent his agents to arrest members of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, or Knights Templar for short.

The 700th anniversary, the quick of you amongst you will have noticed, falls a week on Saturday. I wonder if anything interesting will happen?

Paper

I've just about finished Stone. Just need to do another couple of passes through it. Either it is a work of astounding genius or a complete failure. Or perhaps just a story :)

Living in a twilight world of waiting, as I still don't know when I have to go back into hospital. It makes organising anything more than two weeks away rather tricky. I guess I was lucky not to get those Led Zep tickets after all.

Started proper Japanese lessons last night. 80% of the class is made up of students studying animation at the Art School!
