Following the first episode of the second Big Finish audio production, Phantasmagoria, I’ve been listening to the remaining three episodes over recent evenings and, last night, I finished the final episode.  For the most part, I’m glad it’s over. The positives are that it plays like an adventure that may […]

These days, I’m on a path to try and increase my running endurance and distance.  I tend to run in excess of 300km each month, and many of my runs being between 21km – 28km.  My minimum “run distance” is a 10-11 mile loop around the local area. In order […]

I often use Amazon Prime for next day delivery, but some items are listed as “Expedited” because they come from further away so it takes longer to get to me.  Okay, that sounds fair, but just about how far away do they come? The other week, I bought a case […]
