A DECADE DRAWS NEAR ON MOONBASE

Well readers, its half way through August and the British heatwave seems to be over.

Its by no means cold here in West Yorkshire but there's a whisper of Autumn in the air, at least to me, the nights are slowly creeping back to their earlier showing times and the sunlight seems hazier.

Its an ancient struggle, night and day and one which eventually sends us inside to contemplate what we do now after being outside all summer.

It was this conundrum which faced me 10 years ago around this time of year. I'd been ebaying full-time solidly day and night since 2005 and as the nights of Autumn 2008 drew in I fancied doing something else in the evenings.

As it happened I'd been reading my nephew's neat birdwatching blog Toadcatcher and thought, hmmm, that looks like fun. His was on Blogger so I thought I'd give it a whirl too.

That was back in September 2008 and as the tenth anniversary approaches my mind inevitably turns to what might we turn up during this years special celebration!

I've a few tasty things cooking for the decade: reflections from long-time readers, new Captain Scarlet art, something from ISOSHADO, memories of the 90's Thunderbirds comic covers, reflections of vintage space publications and more. As usual there'll be some new Project SWORD stuff and maybe even a free Birthday gift!

If you yourself fancy contributing to the 10th Anniversary with some words, maybe some pictures or maybe some video or art, then just drop me, Woodsy, a line. My email is at the bottom of this page.

You are invited!
