After a frantic morning of packing and sorting, I’m ready for my next adventure. I’ll be setting off for eight days back in London, doing as much as I can at the London Film Festival – there’s also some other stuff I need to sort out, but hopefully I’ll be able to meet up with some people and do some socialising. I want this to be a practical trip, but I also want to actually have some fun at the same time. It’s been a little tough for the last couple of days, but I’m going to throw myself into this and see what happens.

A quick update – it’s looking very likely that I’m going to be doing NaNoWriMo this year. Once I’m back from the LFF, the chance to sit down for a while and just write like crazy might be exactly what I need – I’ll be working on the follow-up to The Hypernova Gambit, and it’ll be interesting to see exactly how many words I can put down on the page when I’m really pushing myself.

There’ll be more TV and Holmes-related posts soon (I spent most of the last 48 hours slumped in front of the TV with some Hagen-Daaz icecream, and the frankly bizarre combination of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes adaptations and S1 of The Shield…), but right now, I gotta run…

Tick tock tick tock…
