19 apr 20 -Joe Hadleman and Angle Grinders

Today's deliveries - new Heavy duty angle grinder and Joe Hadelmans
Accidental time machine.


Hadleman, a multiple Nebula and Hugo award winner, for those who dont know, is the equivalent of the Oscars for Sc-if literature.   Although not as a prolific reader as my wife, who consumes 50-100 books a year (a sign of high intelligence and intellect I might add!), Ive for along time, selected winners and nominees in the Hugo and Nebula award listings.

Hadlemans ">  Forever War" is a master stroke depiction of realistic time travel - an amazing feat of literacy scope. Ill begin in these pages, to place reviews of these great books.

Today we walked around the park in our old mining community village, after another luxurious lockdown day in the garden. We appear to be reaching the Peak in terms of death rate, there, of course, as anyone who has a smattering of mathematical understanding knows, only two ways out of this Pandemic.

1, We ALL catch it and either our immune system defeats it or we die.
2. There is a vaccine.

Thats it.

The new angle grinder is an amazing bit of kit with a real 'shotgun' recoil when you turn it on..
First project will be the ornamental spears -- see my ETSY pages, should the zombie apocalypse continue, it may be used for purposes other than catching fish.



Spent Ages transposing Peter Gabriel's  incredible 'San Jacinto' into Cello and piano,
which is going to work well for the cover version Im working on.

Interesting to note the album version is totally programmed synth, impossible to play on native piano, (as proven by the album live version sounding nothing like the studio -- Peter you cheating barstaaaard !)

Very pleased with my cello additions...
