Lots of things happening since my last posting here. I’ll try to give a summary.
My Goodreads reading challenge this year has been given a boost by my joining a book club. It meets once a month in the pub however is currently on a slight hiatus. Have read some interesting novels mostly in the fantasy or sci-if realms, which is the theme of the club (there are other themes but that is the one I chose to join).
I am still doing the DJing at a community internet station, although I have just dropped one of the shows due to it being too much (volunteering is great but when it takes up so much free time there is a balance to be struck).
I attended the London MCM Comic-Con in May and took loads of photos. I set up a new Instagram account purely for my cosplay photography. I’m going again at the end of October.
I attended The Photography Show at the NEC in September and traded in my Canon DSLR and lenses for a new Sony camera. It’s a mirrorless blogging camera similar to my a5000 but with a better spec. I haven’t used it much at the moment, but will be taking it to Comic Con and hope to use it a lot there.
Some sad news, we had to say goodbye to our beloved cats this year. One died in May and the other in September. It was very sad but they were very ill and the kindest thing was to put them down. I do miss having them about, they were timid and shy but were a big presence in our home.
My son is back at university, having been home all summer with us. He needed to retake a module by doing an exam, he passed and we’re very relieved he did. My daughter passed her driving test a few days ago.
Like I said, a lot has happened recently.
