Planet Simon’s Weekly Orbit – Blog Date 15-2019

Hi ya Bloggies! The weekly orbit does it’s round again, I think this time I need some stratospheric fuel… To keep up with it all and you guys.

As another orbit passes I can honestly say I’ve been a busy little bee.

During the last Orbit

Since the last orbit I’ve gone a little insane. I decided to take up the A-Z Challenge, where I need to post 26 daily posts (not including Sunday) through April. Apparently it’s in it’s 10 year but nonetheless I have decided to carry this out for SciFi movies so here’s what lasts week’s entries were:

A is for Alien(s)

B is is for Blade Runner

C is for Capricorn One

D is for the Day the Earth Stood Still

E is for Event Horizon

I forgot to get one out for saturday – but carrying on this week where I left of is F. Don’t miss it!

Out of this World Bloggers:

As a way of giving back to the blogging world and the great bloggies that you are I thought I would start featuring some of the great bloggies I know or have come across.

So this week’s lucky bloggies are:

Charley of Books and Bakes – A long term bloggy friend who should be having some well earned time off.

Joanna of Melfka – Joanna has been keeping up with my A-Z and interacting like a boss, so thanks for that.

Time, Space and the Universe as we know it – Part 8 Energy and Matter

With all it’s vastness and complexity it’s taken a long time for humans to reach the understanding that we have of the universe that we have. This is the story of evolving understanding and how simplicity gives way to incredible truth’s that seems to sit at odds with how we think life should be… and …

Simon’s Sketch Work – 3D Ball

I’ve been trying to hone my sketching skills, having a sketching workbook has helped a lot to give me ideas and methods and techniques… I enjoyed this one, for some reason a bit of a pain getting the circle the right size and position but the shading seems to blend well. It’s amazing that a …
