Blimey, this month is turning out to be busy! Here’s a few things that have happened, or are happening, or will happen in this merry month of November.
Birthdays! I turned 23 yesterday, and Bev followed hot on my heels with her 23rd birthday today. So various celebratory activities and events have been in order, including our party at Shot in the Dark last Sunday evening. Plus there was Helen, Becci and Bev’s joint birthday last Friday, and Claire’s birthday is on Thursday.
Podcasting! I finally finished editing the special edition of A Podcast of Impossible Things where I report on the Russell T Davies signing at Cardiff Borders, which features the big man himself. It’s our most technically elaborate edition yet, bringing together lots of material all nicely edited together with music and stuff, and I’m really proud of it. Download it now!
Conference! In the podcast, we also previewed Whoniversal Appeal, an academic conference on Doctor Who at Cardiff University, that’s taking place this weekend. We’ll be taking part in and reporting on it, so that’ll be an interesting but busy weekend.
Interviews! I’ve got an interview for a position on a course as a Trainee Script Editor tomorrow morning. It’s exactly the kind of thing I’d love to be doing, so I’m both nervous and excited.
Family! Bev and I will be heading up to North Wales to stay with her parents the weekend after next, and will hopefully get chance to see mine as well, which will be good. We both get on well with our parents, and with each other’s parents, which is really cool.
Speaking! I’m preaching on Wind in the “Elements in the Bible” series at Mack on the evening of the 31st, which I’m currently preparing for.
Writing! With all the other things going on, I’m not sure I’ll manage to write 50,000 words for Nanowrimo by November 30th, but I’m not giving up just yet – stay tuned to see how I do!
