And we're back in 5, 4, 3... 3am... all that cold fresh air up north obviously didn't make me tired. Damn good to be back in London although I did get the opportunity to catch up with Andy and Stuart while I was up there. Highlight of the trip was just relaxing and talking bollocks again with the only two people who understand the true horror of Worm Warfare. I miss those guys. The family stuff was pretty much as I expected, but I scored an unexpected bonus by unearthing a pile of stuff that I hadn't seen in years and then slipping it back here like a modern day Oscar Schindler. Check out my loot: Having all these to reread goes some way to make up for missing the Zarjaz! launch. I thought this was lost and as dead as Laura Palmer. Wow, Bob wow. I'll begin rereading all the old books I brought back first thing tomorrow. All in all it was a much more enjoyable trip than I thought it was going to be... Now I can finally organise the Twin Peaks/2000AD/pulp scifi party that I've been promising everyone for years... [Music: growls and guitars]
