Creating worlds, exploring the infinite beyond our knowledge and imagination.
The other day I go the opportunity to watch a film I've had my eye on for ages - Interstellar. In short it's about an Earth that is dying and the efforts of one man and his crew to find a suitable planet for the human race to live on. The human race is not... Continue Reading →

Darkness falls on the land. A shrouded moon glows behind racing clouds, wind blowing it's winter tune. Bare trees backlit by the weak moon, branches like old dry bones. Simon ☺

This is sweet and yummy, best... Continue Reading →

Being really excited about all things space I'm naturally excited about newborn stars that shoot jets of light into space like lighsabres... http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/hubble-sees-the-force-awakening-in-a-newborn-star Simon 🙂
So it happened. Always does at some point during the winter, beacuse it's dark in the morning and you have little clue about what you put on. I got to work thinking I was relatively presentable. Until I looked down... My T-Shirt looked like I had eaten last nights dinner off of it. What does... Continue Reading →
Out of the blue my friend from books and hot tea nominated me for the Epic Awesomness Award and I have to say I was touched. As my fellow bloggies know I love getting an award and so to get the Epic Awesomnness Award was kind of awesome. Thank you for nominating me - I... Continue Reading →

Nothing needs to be said... Simon 🙂
Everone else who has been to see the film is doing this, so I thought I would too: What a film it was. I don't know what others have been saying but I've heard that some have slated the new Star Wars saying it's worse than the prequeals. All I will say to this is... Continue Reading →
