Fill In

 It is 2023. Happy new year, reader. Yes, you. And may I say that is quite the shirt you're wearing. A bold choice.

I have made a resolution, gentle reader. A new years one that involves this blog. And, as you're one if the few left reading it, I'm going to share it with you now. Oh, don't worry, I'm just going to wrap up the blog, that's all.

So, with 12 months and 365 days ahead, let's have some fun. Jetsam is a time machine, often rooted in the past by design, but sometimes sneakily revisionary. A blogger reserves the right to change dates, edit entries and link forwards and backwards in time. As it happens, I have a lot of unfinished monkey business lying around on Jetsam, so the remaining days if this year will be some closure, occasional updates and some new stuff, too. And then, in a years time, we'll be all done. Nice.

Join me! Let's trash this place. Happy new year.

Monkey Business

 I'm posting again, but unless my reader is following every post as they're put up, seeing the new content might be a bit weird and all over the place; so this page will be something of a growing index to the entries that aren't naturally positioned around this here one. It might also provide an insight into ten years of Simian mental meanderings...

Try July

 

Whoa-o here he comes...

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.

It's July, my birthmonth*, so I'm going to spend the next thirty-one days posting once a day on this blog and do some stuff. I have a few things planned this month: a birthday, and a D&D session on Zoom, so that'll fill a couple of days. Some home projects, too. School holidays need filling up, and some old entries the teeming masses have been left on tenterhooks about need to be addressed. Did I finish the J Grubb General Store model? What about the elves? Has my model painting improved at all? No. Are there more Dreddworld judges to mess up graphically Yes! Could I fit a gnome article in? Always. Did I see that Justice League movie? How dare you!

I will post past things, future things, backwards, forwards, sideways and out of sequence, as Jetsam has always been. Time is fluid, and I am, if nothing else on this blog, a big fibber.

Stick around, readers. This is either going to roar to a majestic conclusion or I'm gonna total this thing!

(*Today is also my mum's birthday. Happy birthday, Mum. I miss you)

Shocktober!

Yes... Back!

Thankyou, Mister Grimsdyke, that'll do nicely.

My October challenge for 2018 is to backfill this blog by Halloween; sods of mouldering posts tipped into a yawning black hole like some purveyor of the grave-digger's guilty art. Wish me luck!
