Brian F's Almost in Orbit

Hi Woodsy,

Here's a view from the Hard Rock Casino, 50th floor, Atlantic City, USA.

Not the tallest tower I've worked in, but I'm that much closer to outer space!

DR.WHO AND HIS GILMARK RIDE

Hello Woodsy

Here's The Doctor with his new Gilmark X43 Rocket Space Car.

Bet he could outrun Captain Scarlet anyday. What do MC readers think?

BABY ON THE BASE

Moonbase Junior is responding well to his antibiotics and his pneumonia is on the back foot!

So much so he's well enough to visit Moonbase today for a sleepover. A weekend on the rural fringe may just aid his continued recovery.

Reports from the base to follow.

HARLAN ELLISON R.I.P.

Just read that the brilliant author, screenwriter and essayist, Harlan Ellison has sadly passed away aged 84.

Photo from New Worlds Weekly.

Most readers here will know of his prolific contributions to Burke's Law, Voyage to the Bottom of The Sea, The Man from UNCLE, Outer Limits and Star Trek amongst , many, many others. In fact the Star Trek episode, 'The City on the Edge of Forever' has been considered the best of the 79 episodes of the series. For the cult series Babylon 5 he was creative consultant.

Our sincere condolences to his family.

Flaming June

The wildfires on Saddleworth Moor seem to be accompanied by breakouts closer to home. From my window the BBC transmitter on Winter Hill is usually clearly visible, but plumes of smoke are issuing from its slopes tonight. Nevertheless, it doesn't stop the sightseers moving in.

HIATUS UPDATE

Gas leak is fixed for a second time.

More serious, Moonbase Grandson has pneumonia. Its been a harrowing 24 hours in hospital but he's in his own home again and responding well to antibiotics.

His parents and Grandparents are all keeping an eye on him.

I'll be back in action on the blog and email soon I hope.

I hope all MC readers are well.
