This week fell at a bad time for me, as I was going away from the Thursday, plus two members of our already reduced team of nine ended up not taking part, while a third was not feeling it... I somehow doubt our team will take part again (at least not together in the same format). One invisible person added herself to our team early on then never replied to any emails (which is the only contact route GISH gave) so we have no idea who she was!

However, looking back at what I did, it wasn't too bad. I had said this year I was only going to do challenges I really fancied, and that I was going to try and make them as good as I possibily could. I don't think I quite managed that, but it was a moderate amount of fun! And my active team mates did some fricking awesome stuff, so there is that.

Anyhow, here is a glimpse of my (part) week.

#121 SIDE-BY-SIDE. You know those garden gnomes that dotted your grandmother’s backyard? Well, it’s been a while and now they have fallen on hard times. They have turned to a life of crime and misanthropy. Their little gnome hearts are filled with despair, hatred, and regret. Show us the before and after.

When gnomes go bad...things get very dark, very quick.

I'm in Berlin! It was very, very hot, but now it's rained and it's only normally hot. Well, you have to understand that I'm talking as a Brit who's used to summers where 25ºC was always considered a heatwave (before the global warming that doesn't exist), so you have to understand that recent temperatures home and abroad have been quite traumatic.

I had the photos taken for this FB meme but forgot to finish posting them, so I've done a catch up on Facebook today, and thought I'd follow in jj1564 and dizzojay's footsteps and post here too. Sorry about the multi-postings lately! One more to come today - my first spn_rb post! Yay!

Went to see Lion today - now that's more like a film! It had a story that you wanted to follow, characters you sympathised or empathised with, it was wonderfully acted - child actor, little Saroo, you are effing AMAZING! In addition, it had some mightly fine eye candy in the shape of the beautiful Dev Patel *melts in those dark, dark eyes; longs to run hands though that glorious hair...*

So yep, I enjoyed that one ten times more than LaLaLand.

Totally unrelated but amusing - Paul's bother came round the other day and mentioned that he now works with a chap called Andrew Violens (pronounced violence). Sadly, Brian D'eath and Phil Fear have both retired, so Tony can't tell VAT defaulters he will send round Fear, Death and Violence to sort them out.An

And another unrelated aside - I had a stupidly emotional moment this morning, parting with all my sporting paraphinalia but in particular, my hockey sticks and bag. The charity shop came round to pick up seven bags of clothes, bedding and suchlike, and for a brief moment I clung onto my stick bag and nearly didn't hand it over. Even though I know damn well I'm never going to play hockey (or squash, or badminton, or cricket) ever again. Doh. What an idjit.

Well it's all gone now.

I couldn't find a male superhero-maker on that site so had to mash together Prince Jensen with down-at-heel country boy Jared for dreamweaver37 's birthday!
Bored Prince Jensen of Bunkertania escapes from the tedium of the castle routine and bumps into Jared Padalekitus, poor scholar and seventh son, seeking his fortune. Or something.

Sadly the make a Prince game didn't offer the ability to flip the figures or change the background so I had to do a quick smudge fudge!

Plus I had to have a play with the latest superheroines and made these two kickass girls.
