Having been required through force of circumstances to find a new venue and, as a result of Whitby's shortage of venues, a new day, too, Kat, Jaye, and I were running the night on a Monday for the first time. And also on the other side of the river for the first time, in the welcoming embrace of the Friendship Amateur Rowing Club (one of Whitby's two ARCs, which are confusingly close to each other). Some way up the cobbles of Church Street, and through a subtle doorway. A combination of April, Monday, and the new venue conspired to result in lower numbers, but those there seemed to have a good time.

The playlist is below ...

( The 80s Night (1900-2300) )

Next event is Monday 3rd November, again at the Friendship ARC on Church Street.

Welcome to a post in which I give unnecessarily elliptical answers to perfectly straightforward questions.

one place you volunteer (or would like to)? Why?

I don’t volunteer consistently at a single venue / charity, but I do public outreach talks for societies and schools. I do it because people seem to like hearing about space, and I’m enthusiastic about it.
one book you'd like to see made into a movie? Why?

I’d still like to see “Neuromancer” visualised. I understand it’s being made into a TV series
one creature (living, extinct, or mythical) you'd like for a pet? Why?

I’m quite happy with my cats, thank you. We are exquisitely compatible.
one place on Earth you'd like to visit? Why?

I’ve travelled a lot in my life. A LOT. I haven’t been to the largest variety of places - mostly North America and Europe with a couple of visits to Kenya - and to be honest, I am not as enamoured with it as I used to be. There are two places I’d still like to see: my father’s birthplace, and the Great Barrier Reef. But if I don’t get the opportunity, I won’t feel like I haven’t seen enough of the world.
one talent or skill you'd like to develop? Why?

I’m pretty good at not spending much time reflecting on the actions of people who have hurt me or made it obvious that they dislike me. What I’d really love to do is have the ability to make that no time at all. Life’s too short.

After a gentle, slow decline into feeble old age, our beloved cranky gerbil, Nibbles, died last weekend.

( Description of pet death. )

I shall miss his almond-seeking nose boops. Rest well, Nibsy. Enjoy chasing your brother and Tiny the hamster in Small Rodent Valhalla.

One of these days I'm going to keel over while trying to change the bed linen. Thankfully it turned out not to be today.

But it was a close thing.
