Subscriber padawanbeck84 481 Posted August 15, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted August 15, 2016 I got to see the Rogue One trailer Rogue One looks brilliant! Also in Star Wars-related things, I made progress today on my X-Wing pilot costume. My dad told me about a little fabric shop that might be able to help me out so we went there and not only did we find the material for the life-jacket part of the costume, but the lady is also ordering the dark grey straps for the belt etc. Then we went to an odds-and-ends shop a short distance away and found three more parts. Now I can start actually putting parts of the costume together! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber peterferris8 589 Posted August 16, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted August 16, 2016 Two things really, one yesterday and one today. Yesterday I took a trip to Manson's guitar shop in Exeter, and got to play a Cort MBC-1 guitar, originally built for Matt Bellamy from Muse! The thing that happened today was that my ticket arrived for next week's Reading Festival! Can't wait... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber padawanbeck84 481 Posted August 24, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted August 24, 2016 After 3 orders and attempts to find precisely the right shade of orange, I finally got the overalls for my X-Wing pilot costume today! But they're currently far too clean and bright, so I need to get to work grubbing them up to make it look like I've flown lots of missions in them I also found some boots for the costume and two other items. It's all coming together at long last. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

illumination70 262 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 My good thing happened last night. I participated in a 5k run to help a local teacher who was recently diagnosed with cancer. After the run/walk, I won a t-shirt from one of the drawings I entered.

One of my local libraries had a book sale today. I picked up 5 books for £6 - including a 1929 book on the Rosetta Stone and the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Then I went to the comic book store and bought issue #1 of the Star Wars: Poe Dameron comic (Yes, my taste in reading material is *very* varied) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

illumination70 262 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 My "good thing" happened on Friday night when I saw Duran Duran in concert. The show was a blessing since I was really depressed over having to put our dog down (he had cancer). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The show was a blessing since I was really depressed over having to put our dog down (he had cancer). So sorry about your dog. (((Hugs))) But wasn't the show good? Saw them in July and had a great time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
