Not much to update, but it is halfway through November

 A couple of weeks ago I was out on the moor - and a very nice day out it was too. The morning and evening …

We also saw a film set under construction at bottom of Fernworthy forest. Initially we thought it might be for the Harry Potter series (as they are filming in Lustleigh, but it might be for a William Defoe Werewolf movie set in the 1300s. 

Then this weekend we went up to London - the first stop was the V&A museum. A really interesting place to visit - so much there. But remember to book in advance for any special events - like the Marie Anntonete … we didn’t. 

Lots to do and see there - like the Natural History and Science museums just up the road. We did see everything there, better planing over a couple of visits is probably needed. 

Friday evening was watching Ricky Gervais at Wembley area - a good nights entertainment. Very funny and thought provoking at times. But I suppose that having watched all the others shows on TV means that the edge appears to have dulled a bit … still worth the watch. 

Saturday morning saw a trip to Convent Garden and a bit of a wander around. 

Managed to find the Orcs Nest game shop - hoping for some inspiration to get me out of my gaming malaise - I got a mug … the shop was small and had some nice stuff but nothing I needed or wanted. Still need to sort out some of my stuff to sell on. There we met up with my sister for lunch. 

After seeing my sister off, we wandered off to Trafalgar Square - Nelson’s column (with St Stephen’s tower in the background), the Christmas decorations in convent garden and the Rik Mayall bench in Hammersmith. While at Trafalgar Square we had a look around the National Portrait Gallery (lots of culture on this visit). The room numbering there was a little confusing but we managed to see some Holbein’s etc before ending up in the Van Gogh’s and the Monet rooms. Really cool. 

With some of my eBay money I have bought Voidfighter, as the rules seemed interesting and I would like to get some Babylon 5 and Battlestar fighter to play with … I might try with counters first. 

These might get out of my malaise … but what to do with the Star Trek attack wing stuff …
