lprovenLong time no update. Life has been rather hectic. Mostly, in good ways.
I went to Zombiecon. It was fun. Heavily zombie-oriented, as you might imagine. I did a few panels - helped Elvis electrocute people, then did talks about necrophilia and the science of zombies - y'know, the usual sort of stuff. They seemed to go OK, thanks to co-panellists such as the good Doctors![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adelheid, emmajking & happyuncledave. Good times. Same place as Novacon but it was rather different with loads of zombies and rather fewer truffs. They ran out of beer. Emma & I made a raid on Tescos and ensured we were well supplied. dougs and johncoxon made sure I didn't have to carry too much home with me again.
The next day, I went to Kraków with an old mate from Uni, Tudor. It was terrific. More on this later, if or when time permits.
Then a week of editing, punctuated by Skeptics in the Pub, with Ben "Bad Science" Goldacre. Utterly thronged. Saw people I've not seen in years, such asvanessaw. This is good.
I joined the London Freewheel event with an old mate from an old mate's Uni, Charlie, who is also a former colleague from TfL. (We managed to meet about, oh, 3 times in 9mth.) Freewheel was a laugh, as it was last year. Met him on the Mall, rode to the Tower of London - the end of the official route - and stopped for icecream. There is a Ben&Jerry's there. This is a good thing. Then off to Victoria Park, because we felt like it. Then back to the Mall, virtually on our own, which was a very odd feeling - shades of 28 Days Later - eerily empty London - then out to Hammersmith, then back to our respective homes. Given that I did a lap of Richmond Park in the sun on Saturday, that's about 55-60 miles that weekend. Not too bad. Need to do this a lot more often, though.
Doesn't leave a lot of time for LJ, alas...
