What do you do with so much baggage?

So the thing is that I'm carrying a lot of baggage on this blog. An awful lot. You know how your house gets really, really messy and you need to clear up so that you and others can get to what's useful. Well I'm thinking I must the hoarder that's got piles of crap all...

The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 7

It had to be said that Harry's Boris suit looked like it would fool his mother. This was a terrifying thought so they agreed to leave it there. Boris had been no trouble at all, once Miranda had zapped him, Gaz had jumped on his back and was hitting him across the head. Then both...

Nice Suit Darth…

I love this joke... https://pin.it/x6zv72yyfsttrv Bu then there was this other bit I found, I don't know who asked Darth about it though! Simon 🙂 No ownership claimed on material

What am I doing and where am I going with all of this?!?

I have no idea why I'm writing this, which is interesting becasue it raises the question in point here - why do I write this blog? Where am I going with it and what's the point of it all? This could possibly be the question in my life bubbling over into the blogoshpere. But I've...

The space shuttle – From top to Bottom and Inside out

I remember as a young boy watching Columbia take off and was inspired by the Space Shuttle - Now a piece of space history this amazing graphic I found in Pinterest gives the top to bottom of the Space Shuttle!

The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 6

Ralph stared out of the viewer on the control centre of the spaceship, clouds zoomed by at supersonic speeds, but this was slow enough that Ralph didn't feel velocity sickness. Around him Harry was controlling the craft, Gaz was keeping watch over Boris and his guards in the airlock. Not that he could see much...

Creating the Titan

One of the reasons I started creating my own cover art for my own stories is becasue up until now I've taken a lot of other art from off the internet. This often has the result of really annoying people. It also means I'm not using what's really in my head. Because of this and...

Death Star – In Amazing Detail

I saw this and thought - wow! Someone has so much time on their hands to draw a cutaway Death Star is so much detail!   I wish I could say I had done this myself but I haven't: Death Star cut away drawing Simon 🙂

Bookish Stuff – Just William

Continuing the fun time I've been having with children's books lately I'm moving onto an older set of stories. Just William What I didn't appreciate until I read these books was how old they are. I found them harder to read than other children's books and I couldn't work out what it was all about...

Manic Monday – AGAIN!

So here we are at another Monday and things have been happening here on Planet Simon, decisions have been made and things have been created. Writing has been going on behind the scenes and more... I've been toying with the idea of another site specifically for my writing / authoring brand, for now I've decided...

The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 5

There is a certain amount of discomfort that one feels when walking into a pub ans everyone looks around at you. In fact there's a lot of discomfort. All you can do is stand there and hope an epiphany comes to you while you  stand there asking questions like: Do these people want to kill...

NASA – What’s going on in November?

Thought for Tuesday – My Brain is Drying up!

So here we are and watch out I've been thinking again... Watch out world! How come is it (and this is getting worse as I get older) that I remember things in my head that I would swear are true or factual and yet when I look it up I've got it wrong? Is my...

Minion Thoughts – Some people are like old TV sets…

Sometimes they go all blinky! Simon 🙂

Manic Monday and Madness on Planet Simon

This to me sums up Sunday... Unfortunately alcohol does not ease the pain - it makes it worse when the day finally comes! There is a whole week ahead of us of challenges and things that can go right or wrong. Let's hope more right than wrong eh? Last week I didn't get my whole...

The Great Galactic Service Station – Part 4

The problem with Borians is that they don't know when to give up when they decide they want something. It's not really clear if it's because they're too stupid to know when or... something else. So the jury is out on that one. Even as Miranda's spaceship headed away from the Borian battle cruiser the...
