Old Stories

It was too hot to do much, earlier today.

I happened to notice an old copy of Amazing Science Fiction (Jan 1985) sitting on the shelf and read a couple of stories in it. One was ""MS found in a Cruet Set" by Sharon N. Farber, and the other was "After the Guillotine" by Tanith Lee. I loved the first story, a wonderful pastiche about what Sherlock Holmes was like when doping up with a 7% solution. The second was about the idea of what happens after death. Very interesting and oddly calming.

Is Santa really Baron Harkonen?

Bleaugh

A hot, stinky day. Poor ol' Pegasus has already gone under the house to get cool. And I have to go out in this and do some food shopping.

Took him for a walk this morning in the old Gretley Colliery. Most of it is still bush and fire breaks, despite developments at North Lakes. It was overcast and not that hot then. Anyway, we came to within 100 metres of a bush fire. Couldn't see it, but heard the fire trucks and crew arrive.

Walked around the industrial park, which has only just been bulldozed - there's a thin layer of grass all around. e walked near the top of a man made cliff, and then down to a (discovered) lake near the freeway. New fences going up, giant lumber yards and boutique breweries are already there.

We were both tired after that, but it was a good walk.
