And so we arrive at day 31 of May 2020, which means that my month long homage to Star Wars can finally end. Which is…

Today is Towel Day, an annual celebration in honour of the late great Douglas Adams, and in particular ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’, which…

There are still quite a few days left of May. Which is surprising because it feels like I’ve been writing about Star Wars forever. Although…

Much like when I decided to dedicate a post to my collection of Star Wars mugs, I’m not feeling quite up to writing a review…
-
The Force is not particularly strong with me today. Or indeed any day, because obviously ‘The Force’ is entirely made up. And much as I…

Can you truly call yourself a Star Wars fan if you’ve never seen the 1978 ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’? Yes. Of course you can. Indeed…

Without a shadow of a doubt, life on lockdown has hit other people harder than me. I am, under the circumstances, relatively lucky. I have…

No-one loves a pandemic more than me. Then again, no-one loves a pandemic less than me. Because, presumably, no-one loves a pandemic. Except possibly toilet-paper…

Today is Blue Monday and therefore officially the most depressing day of the year. This is based on actual scientific fact and not a slap…

It’s the second Monday in January and Christmas is now but a distant memory. Although my bank balance might disagree and pay day does seem…

Today is January 6th and by any definition Christmas is now over. Except for all the masses of chocolate, wine and beer that appear to…

Ah 2020. What a year. I mean it’s obviously only just begun, but I have a feeling that 2020 will be a year like no…

Merry Christmas! Yes it’s the big day once again and everyone everywhere is making merry! Except for those that aren’t. Which is probably quite a…

And so here we are, a month from Christmas and soon the traditions of the season will be upon us. Although, as is the…

It is the 18th November, which quite possibly means that Christmas is nearly upon us. It also means that I haven’t troubled the blogosphere for…
