What's That Big Yellow Thing.

That round thing, up there, in the sky. Yes, folks. The sun shone today. Nothing unusual in that, you say. Ah, but this is the first day we've had without rain in a fortnight. We're not used to sunshine any more.

We've had three times our usual month's worth of rain in that time. The wettest April for over 100 years. The river here (the city where I live) is currently under flood warning, that's a higher state than a mere flood alert. Flood alert means "hey, river's a bit high, keep a watch on it." Flood warning means "build a boat - now!!" Fortunately I live right at the top of a very steep hill. (City's in a river valley - it's all hills on the edges). Bet the people in those very expensive quayside houses are nervous. Another day like Sunday (gales, torrential rain) and they'll be paddling between rooms.

And they still say there's a drought!!!!!

OK - greetings time. Hope those of our readers in Teutonic countries had a good Walpurgisnacht yesterday. And for our Pagan and Wiccan readers - good Beltane (in the North) Samhain (in the South).

And a good International Workers' Day to all.

The organisers of Femslash Day are running a poll and would like your input

It's that time of year again. Planning is in full force for this year's International Day of Femslash and FemSlashCon, 14-15th July, with an array of new and exciting events, such as Femslash Radio, an IDF ARG, a bumper Audio-fic Library, and more challenges and ficathons than you can shake a stick at, also scheduled for the weekend.

Once again we need your help to determine which fandoms get their own panel at the convention or show on Femslash Radio. Use the link below to access the Fandom Poll and choose your top fandoms. You can choose up to ten (10). Polling will be open until 4th May so get your votes in now! POLL at Femslashday.com

Right. Enjoy your updates. See you tomorrow.
