Have somehow pulled a muscle in my lower back which his causing all kinds of pains through my hips and shoulders and is generally most annoying. It's like having a bad dose of flu minus all the breathing trouble. So in that respect its still better than most of January.  Currently trying to roto and key a small guitar playing bear, its slow going, I could do this without thinking 3 years ago, but its slowly making more sense. Andy |

Jonathan went out with Grandma and Grampy to feed the Ducks this morning.
I don't believe he'd looked on YouTube for a tutorial beforehand but.....
2min and 2seconds in.
2nd time in 2 days I've been forced to link to that!

I'm sure that's a different kind of feeding the ducks!

Loved the old man lightsaber duel.
In other news I have the urge to do a daily strip again (not entirely TF centric) and have started on layouts.

Nope. I have the idea in my head and have done for quite some while. Somewhere inbetween an autobiographical strip and Hogan's Heroes from the UK M.A.S.K. comic is where I am aiming for.

I'm a little upset about an incident on the bus this morning.
I'm on the 9:30 back from ASDA, first bus which I can use my disabled pass on. I'm in one of the chairs at the front marked for disabled people because there is (in theory) a bit more leg room and it's frequently uncomfortable squeezing my legs behind the back of another chair with my leg braces on: I can't bend my legs fully because the top of the leg brace starts to bite into the back of my knee.
As we progress home other people get on. In particular two older women are giving me the cat's bum face, obviously unhappy with where I'm sitting. By this point I'm a little wobbly so when I ring up I wait for the bus to stop before getting up to leave. As I get off I notice one of the ladies has moved, grabbed the seat I was in and is waving her stick at me out the window. So I show her my disabled pass at which point she waves the stick some more.
When I'm sitting down I'll admit I do look like a reasonably fit 30ish year old. However when I get up it's reasonably obvious, even with the leg braces on there's something wrong. If she wanted the seat so much why didn't she ask - it wasn't as if there weren't other seats available at the front of the bus, indeed the one on the row behind me with no seat in front of it was free. I'm happy to be asked to move and have no problem explaining why I think I should be sitting somewhere. If I see somone who I am convinced has a greater need of a seat than me I'll happily vacate it - I wasn't in this case, and as I said other seats were available.
Years ago I was attacked on a bus. Not by knife wielding teenagers, but by a little old lady who was convinced I shouldn't be sitting in a "elderly/disabled seat" and proceded to beat me round the legs with her stick. Ironically I was on my way to a Physio appointment at the time!

In related news I'm off out this afternoon. I have a place on a chronic pain course. Might be interesting/useful.

Yeah haven't heard from Hugman for ages! He must be off spreading the love in alternate dimenisons or something.
Hi Sportsfans!!!
Phil, what a crapy thing to happen! Hope you feel better soon. And good feelings to all my Cyber Chumbs, large and small.
I wish I had a pound for every learner driver that goes past my house. I like watching their emergency stops.

4 days off?!?! You fiend! (Enjoy!)
I learnt I can plaster today. Well, small scale anyway. Plaster smells nice.
A custom Marvel Legends Sentry arrived today from a very tallented and nice American via ebayus (Comic-customs I believe he's called). It's a damn good effort and I'm over the moon with the figure. A more modern/up-dated version of Sentry, Mighty/Dark Avengers style. He looks mean. Rip Gods in half mean.
SENTRY WILL RETURN

He's been airbrushed out of Marvel continuity at a speed not seen since Grant Morrison's New X-Men run was deleted within 3 months of it finishing.

After getting worse all Monday I woke up yesterday and felt fine. Odd as my back was still sore but I could move fine.
Still not heard about an interview. Which is good. I'm maybe a little too confident about getting an interview so not getting it would be disappointing, but if I do get it I have to start contemplating actually getting a job. While that would still be unlikely, I would have to start thinking about moving to Wales and all that that would entail.

My week so far has been a little bit....bumpy.... would be a fair way to describe it. I am however responding to this with my usual coping strategy - digging out some good music and doing a fair bit of reading. It seems to be doing the trick in all honesty. Except that I demolished my previous book somewhat ahead of schedule leaving me short of reading matter for the train home this evening. Ah well, just need to pack my bag a bit better for the remainder of the week.
