Life is Life unfortuantely fantasy takes a back seat.
Monday, March 23, 2020

Yes, life is a bit of a git. My wife hasn't been well and more needs to be gone. Oh and of course this damn virus Covid-19 doesn't help at all.

It is just a one-man band and I have just had so much more to do over these last few months that drawing, and story boarding have just been a little hard to do. However, here is part 12 at least and with things no settling slightly, apart from my daughter being at home and not at school, and the same sort of thing with my son, who is not at college.

Found out during the month that my daughter had secretly started her own YouTube channel off. She didn’t tell us. I thought she had given up on the idea, but no! She under an alias, so I not going to say the name of the channel, let’s just say she had a viral video currently with over 75K views and he sub count is now 1.22K, 3 times my sons 414. Sneaky!!!

With Easter coming up things will get a little weird but not as normal. I will try to get Part 13 of the story done as soon as possible so with hope I’ll have a finished article ready around the Easter weekend.

I will still do the Monthly Moan this week, hopefully later today as long as I’m left in peace.

So, until next time, bye…

Late Again!
Friday, February 07, 2020

Sorry about the delay in posting Part 11, but with my wife being not well I’ve been doing a lot more around the house. Also, it’s that time of the year when schools have meeting etc…

It all it’s been a seriously hectic couple of weeks. Hopefully it’ll all calm down in the next fortnight.

The extra stuff to do around the home etc has meant not much in the uploads on YouTube. I’m based in the living room and when the wife is stuck there with bad legs it’s not possible to knock out a video. Again, next week should be able to get things done on that score as well.

Okay Part 11 of the series continues the story arc with Matt Cancer and the attack on his dark fortress by the military regime. After initial successes it is starting to go wrong in a dramatic fashion.

So, until next time bye…

Back Again - a bit late
Tuesday, January 21, 2020

Hello again, sorry about the next part being two days late. I’ve been at the novel as much as possible, but a bit of illness and life in general got in the way.

Anyway, Happy New Year to you all and 2020 rolls in. Trying to juggle life and health and drawing, videos etc is time consuming so I may miss my scheduling at times. It’ll hopefully get better, but this novel is design is time consuming, mainly the writing. I know scanning can be a ball ache as well. The news is a bit sketchy at times and not worthy of responses. It was better when the government were in full meltdown, but now there isn’t an opposition and currently not much to oppose. We are leaving the EU on the 31st and that is certain. The problem is what next? A comprehensive trade deal could take ages to sort out. Normally years, and this lot want it done by December. Good Luck on that one! Meanwhile, over in the US. The President is being impeached and all hell is breaking out.

Globally, Australia is having biblical type events happening. Fires, Flood and massive dust storms. If the locusts turn up, then you’ve got problems!

So back to novel land. You’re now in Part 10 and thing a really moving now. The return of Sir Blive, who was last seen in The End or the Beginning, means that Matt Cancer has got problems, however, attacking him is probably the biggest and dumbest military miscalculation you can make.

Anyway, enjoy part 10, and I’ll be producing some new videos shortly, so until then bye.

Update and schedule for Christmas
Tuesday, December 17, 2019

Okay – Part 9 is up. Took some time, was struck down by the dreaded Norovirus after a local outbreak, eesshh! That put me a few days behind, anyway it’s up now.
I also rebooted the You-Tube channel with both The Monthly Moan and A View from the North. Woo on Wednesday will take a little time to nail down.
It’s a week away from Christmas and it’s the Christmas break schedule.
A View From the North – Weekdays up to and including the 23rd Dec – will resume the 6th January
The Monthly Moan – Christmas Special (Christmas TV in the UK is a Joke) – Will be later in the week, then next episode end of January.
Citylife2050 The Great Civil War Part 10 – will be available on January 19th.

So that’s it I take a break off writing during the Christmas period.
What ever you’re doing have a wonderful Christmas / Holiday and a Happy New Year.
Bye until 2020.

Quick catch up
Monday, December 02, 2019

First sorry for the late release of Part 8. My wife has been a little off colour, so I’ve just been having to do a little more round the house. I already do a lot mind you. Also, with Christmas on the horizon it’s all go to get the house ready.

In the story we move in to part 8 and the coup goes into full swing. The general will appear in part 9 and Matt Cancer returns to the story as will someone else from the previous series. I will continue to produce these large episodes, but they are time consuming and as I said before if something at home crops up things go to pot.

On the YouTube side I’ve just not been able to get time to do the stuff. It will happen soon.

Anyway, bye till next time.

Back to Business
Friday, November 01, 2019

Hello one and all. Sorry about the delay in content, and thank-you for bearing with me., with my dad’s passing. It has just taken time to get to funeral, which was held yesterday. Yes, his funeral was on Halloween. I think he would have found that quite funny! This closure allows me to move on and the best thing to do is get back to working on the Citylife2050 website and YouTube channel.

Now there are some changes I need to make to the Website and YouTube channel, and I’ll run down what will happen within the next month.

1. The Novel will now run on a fortnightly issue. The new design and longer parts take longer, and I just need more time to get things done.

2. The YouTube channel. The Monday Moan is no more as is the Tuesday V-Log. Both of these will be removed from the channel completely as will other videos. These will be replaced with a new set of videos.
a.  The Monthly Moan. A longer video with me moaning about anything and everything that has happened in the month just gone and what may happen next. (Expect this one at the end of November & the last Monday of each month except for Christmas and Easter)

b. A View From the North. Now I live in the North-west of England, and this will be a two to four minute daily off the cuff look at news and politics that is going on that day.

c. WOO on Wednesday. This is the biggie!!! Response videos against WOO in all it’s forms. Climate change deniers, Flat Earthers, Anti Vaxxers, Moon Landing / Space Deniers etc... If it’s Woo, then I’ll be looking at it. This will be a fortnightly video. This will appear towards the end of the Month.

d. Citylife2050 videos. These will be to do with the novel itself. So, keep a look out for them.

All in all, I think it’ll be a big change to the channel and a lot more content to look at.

Okay, the long-delayed part 6 is now up and available. The End or the Beginning novel is coming along and will give you more info about that in the near future.

If you were with me last year, you’ll probably know that I disappear for the Christmas Week and there will be no exception this year. I’ll of course give you a heads up on times closer to the event.

Anyway, I’m back… please enjoy part 6 and until next time bye…

Delayed updates but unavoidable
Sunday, October 13, 2019

Okay this is a short blog update.

First I apologize for the lack of a story update, but real life sort of gets in the way sometimes.

Sadly on Saturday my dad passed away after illness. He had only just been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but the swiftness of his passing was a shock. I was writing the graphic novel story at the moment I was contacted. I will get part 6 out in a few days time, but part 7 will delayed for a couple weeks.

So until next time bye.

Part 4 will arrive on Saturday and it's BIG!!!
Wednesday, September 25, 2019

Well I’m back on to reasonable health. The next part of the novel will drop on Saturday 28th and it’ll be big. I’ll finish off the Huddersfield chapter. Lots of action.

The Monday Moan will follow the news agenda. I’m looking at what to do to expand the YouTube offer, but as the sub count is pitiful, it’s not a priority.

The End or the Beginning is being compiled into a large PDF. Once that is complete, I will design a front cover and my wonderful wife will help with colour. I’m colour blind, that’s why I use black rather than colour.

That’s about it. If you want to see what an ugly so and so I am join me on the YouTube channel Citylife2050 and watch the Monday Moan, subscribe if you like, more the merrier. Until next time bye…


Oh not Ill again!
Friday, September 13, 2019

My nice loving and giving daughter has given me a nice dose of flu. So, I’m having to dose myself up with Beechams and put up with the fact that I feel like a bag of you know what!

This illness is setting me back a bit on writing the fourth instalment of the new series. I was well on track until this struck. So, I’ll have to put a TBA on the date as it depends on how well I’m feeling as we do into the weekend. Damn, just as the weather turns really nice for a few days, allowing me to get the lawn mowed for the last time this year and to finish off the hedge cutting.

I should be okay for the Monday Moan on YouTube, but I’m absolutely shot at the moment. I thought I’d better let everyone know what the hell is going on. Until next time, bye

Saturday Update
Saturday, August 31, 2019

Phew!

So, from now on the upload of the novel episodes will be on Saturdays gives me a little longer to get the images done. Not only are the images more complex, there is more of them.

Part 2 is a massive 44 frames in length, remember that the last series the maximum was 25, due to the software restriction of the carousel system. The lightbox has a much bigger capacity. I haven’t yet come across what the maximum is on this system. It is a far better format to put this story up on. The black computer shading has given the whole story a cleaner, fresher look. You stand the two stories together and you can’t believe that they related.

Anyway, it took a little longer to get this episode out, sorry for the one-day delay, but I’m just one person and I do have a family that needs looking after as well. Oh, and staying up to the early hours isn’t good for your health.

The End or the Beginning has now been taken down. It is going to be repackaged as a Kindle and POD paperback. So, keep an eye on the website because they’ll be right at the front when they are released.

The V-log was a disaster this week, due to a software update which somehow means that the video was incompatible with my editor, oh great, a waste of an afternoon. It’s politics and general news on a Monday, a re-designed V-log on a Tuesday, plans for Woo on a Wednesday and the graphic novel now on a Saturday.

Enough from me rambling, I see you all on Monday… Bye!

Being Ill and the road ahead
Friday, August 16, 2019

The last couple weeks have been ones that I’d rather forget about. I hate being struck down with the dreaded lurgy, but that is what happened. I got Shingles and boy do you know about it when you get it. Especially on your head and shoulder area. It also ended up with my ear infected and a course of anti-biotics for me. Also, must include the epic amounts of pain killers. Thankfully that is now coming to an end the course has finished and the I’m now on the less powerful pain killers as the epic pain has passed.

Being down slowed down the work on the website, and the cleaning of the End or the Beginning images as well as extra work on the YouTube channel. All that has restarted again and today cleared through a load of proofreads and clean ups on the later images’ parts 35 through to 42, 10 parts to go and it is easier as the images are already dark and it’s mainly proof reading that is required. Hope to cut through the rest tomorrow.

The new story begins as scheduled on the 23rd of August. With a new light box system on the desktop version, similar to what the mobile version uses for you to view the story. It means that I’m not restricted to 22 images.

I will add more to the YouTube channel in the coming weeks, but this week will be gearing up for the new story on the website as well as compiling the old story series into book format. Well that’s it for now, see you on Monday for the Monday Moan 26. Please subscribe to the YouTube channel it would be really helpful.

Quick Update
Friday, July 12, 2019

Quick update on what is going on.

Okay currently wading through the previous part of The End or the Beginning. Proof reading and updating the images and PDF’s. The first twelve parts have been re-uploaded and contain the new cleaned up images, as well as most of the writing errors have been located.

New series will start on the 23rd of August. The Great Civil War.

Still popping out YouTube stuff and will soon do a Tuesday V-Log to update you further. So, until then, bye…

It's the end of the series
Friday, June 14, 2019

We have finally got to the end of the series. 52 Parts well over 1000 frames and the series finishes. The last part is basically the Epilogue and finishing the threads. Also introducing a re-occurring character that appears in numerous stories and that is Old Tom who owns and runs the News Shack, at the side of Westgate Green, a small piece of greenery in the ever-expanding city of steel, glass and concrete.

So, what next?

Well, part 52 will stay for a couple weeks before moving to the PDF page. The Story Page will then go off-line. You’ll be redirected to the PDF previous episodes page. The Story Page will undergo a redesign ready for the next story later this summer. During the off period I will cleaning up early episodes sorting out errors and proofreading the episodes adding extra images and then sending it off to become a Kindle and Paperback. Before this point the story will have already been removed. I will also be drawing a lot of stock images for the next story. Lots of backgrounds and character images ready for the new story which I hope to launch sometime later this summer. Keep checking on the website.

What is “The Great Civil War”? It is the second book in the series. It begins about a year after the events of “The End or the Beginning”. The city is now well and truly taking shape and the population is moving towards an eye watering 16 million. Not all is well as discontentment rises. As the characters are now in place this feels a lot more action based. I’m not going to say anymore because you know SPOILERS!!!

Still the YouTube channel will still be active and there will be more content on there, so go and subscribe. I not going away and keep an eye on the website for updates and extra content. The Tuesday V-log will be on only when required during the period with no story.

That’s it, bye for now…

Sunday and all is well!
Sunday, May 26, 2019

So, it’s Sunday and all is quiet. Well sort of. It’s the Euro Election results. These are elections that the UK wasn’t supposed to taking part in. It’ll be interesting just how these elections will go. Theresa May is already stuffed and is about to leave and these elections took place on Thursday here in the UK. Now I looked at the runners and riders in the leadership race, before the PM resigned. Will be doing another moan tomorrow.

Part 50 of The End or the Beginning is now available and brings down the curtain on Destination London, with a bang! The story now starts to close and part 51 will be available a week on Friday. Too much happening this week to get the next part out, so it has been delayed till next week. I did give advanced warning of what was going to happen this week. I’ll be back on track next week.

So, until next time bye till then.

Friday News and Views
Friday, May 17, 2019

Well it’s Friday and the website gets updated again.

Now quick one. There will be no Tuesday V-Log on May 28th and no episode upload on the following Friday May 31st. This is due to a large amount family stuff that needs seeing to during that week. It’s the half-term I have to take Alex to get a suit for the school prom/leavers do. I also have a meeting in the middle of the week at the college and basically, I’m going to be running back a forward that week, which would leave little time to do the graphic novel and V-Log. So, the V-Log will be the week after. 

Today I took my daughter down to the fair. We have travelling fair that arrives each year. It’s a shadow of its former glory. No Dodgems, Why? It was once the centre piece of the fairground. Plenty of big rides a load of little ride, nothing in between. This is awkward for my daughter she’s too big for the small rides and she hates the big manic stuff. We spent 15 minutes there. Walked around the rides and then came home. She hooked a duck and won some unicorn poo (sparkly putty). What a waste of money that thing is. She enjoyed it though.

The weather for the week has been warm and dry but the breakdown is beginning with rain forecast today Friday. Usually rains when the fair is in town.

So, part 49 of The End or the Beginning is the start of the end of Destination London. The “Darling” Bunny and Master Gideon have been vanquished, but there are still some vampires roaming around, and a shed load of mutants. However, this episode will look at the gold in vault. A quiet get your breath back episode and a bit of payback from earlier episodes. The series is running very quickly towards its end.

Also, it’s happy anniversary to the website. The Citylife2050.com domain went live on May 9th last year. A couple weeks after that the website first went up. The basic set up has remained intact. It’s been extended and the pages trimmed to load faster, but it works.

So that is about it… bye for now.

friday Quick Chat
Friday, May 03, 2019

Well just a quick heads up on the newest part of The End or the Beginning Part 47. This episode is nicknamed “Waterloo Sunset” after the song because of the inclusion of the characters Terry & Julie. If you’re unsure just listen to the song.

This episode introduces us to The Master and sets up for the big reveal next week! A creature that you will not believe,” but its mutation that done it Guv”.

Still we are slowly travelling towards the end of the entire story and it won’t be long now.

I’ve started to clean up some of the first Episode panels. Part 1 was in a totally different format to now, I had to reset them and put the wording back in correctly. That is now done. The other parts aren’t as bad.

Anyway, that’s it for now bye till next time – oh and don’t forget the Monday Moan on Bank Holiday Monday.


Back to Normal
Friday, April 26, 2019

Well after the Easter break the story resumes at part 46. The Bank of England is creepy as hell and infested with the undead, the answer is why? At this point we don’t know.

The End or the Beginning is now in ending towards its finale. So, what next? Well a small break during which I will compile all the episodes clean up the gif’s and export them to a single PDF and then off to Amazon for Kindle and POD publication.

During this time, we’ll still be running the YouTube channel and Shop etc… and the story will still be on the website, until the story is sent to publication on Kindle, after this the story will be removed from the site, making way for the next Citylife2050 saga. The GREAT Civil War.

Also, coming up is the 1st year anniversary of the website. The Citylife2050.com domain was created on the 9th of May 2018. The website followed a couple of weeks later. The mobile version took a lot longer to put together, but it’s running now. You’ll be glad to know that the website and domain have been secured for another year. With hope the website will continue to see the traffic increase.

Anyway, that’s it for the blog. Enjoy Part 46, also The Monday Moan will be back on Monday 29th April and the Tuesday V-log the following day. Bye till then


Friday and a look to the future.
Friday, April 12, 2019

It’s Friday again and Part 45 of The End or the Beginning is now available. This section, chapter call it what you will is “Destination London”. The big final set piece of the novel. Yes, we are in to the final sections. Hope you enjoy it.

Holiday times. I’m taking a weekend break this Easter, so this is the schedule for the following couple weeks: -

Monday 15 April Monday Moan 10

Friday 19 – Tuesday 23 April No uploads

Friday 26 April Part 46 upload

Monday 29 April Monday Moan 11

Tuesday 30 April Tuesday V-log

Friday 3 May Part 47 upload

As normal until further notice…

On the V-Log I noted the Matt Hates Rabbits T-Shirt. This is available through the shop. Although if you wanted it for Easter it is now too late to order, even on the express delivery.

Hopefully with the slightly lower workload over the week, I’ll have chance to really get to work on the character profile section for both desktop and mobile and the city guide on mobile. The guide requires new pages and then copy and paste work from its desktop variant. On the character profiles new additions, work on the character pages themselves and the start of putting them on the mobile as well. So still plenty of work on the website.

I’ll also be adding more to my Patreon Page, so if you would like to help towards the upkeep of this website and YouTube channel then please hope over there.

Future…

As I noted we are entering the final leg of the current novel. What next?

Well there will be a short break during that time I’ll compile the entire novel. Give it a clean up on the computer, and then create a Kindle and Paperback version of the entire story with a few extra images, just to add a little extra to the characters and they go on sale I would estimate near to the end of the summer. When this happens the entire The End or the Beginning will be taken down off the website. Leaving a YouTube summary and the links for the book versions to be purchased.

You will still get you fix however, as I will start a new story. Citylife2050.com The Great Civil War. Based on 4 earlier stories this is set a year after the event of The End or the Beginning. The same characters, plenty of action and a body count of epic proportions. Now that’s next for the Citylife2050.com series. The YouTube channel will continue and expand over the next year as will the shop. So with the website renewed for another year and plenty of scope for improvement 2019 into 2020 will be bigger and better than ever.

That’s it for now and bye till later…

Friday Update
Friday, March 29, 2019

Hi all, another Friday.

Part 43 of The End or the Beginning continues Matt Cancer in Penwortham. We have the first meeting of Matt and T.J.
These few episodes are link episodes, quiet, character building and scene setting as well as building the next segment of the story.

Teespring shop is up and running, more designs will appear in the near future

Mobile now has the shop and the City Map page is being built.

Now we are heading toward the Easter Holidays in the UK. During the Easter Break I’ll be having a short break too.
So, there will be no episode update on the 19th April (Good Friday) also on the YouTube channel there will be no Monday Moan on 22nd April (Easter Monday) and Tuesday Vlog on 23rd. Back to normal after that.

Well I’ve paid the next year bill for the hosting of the website which is expensive enough but required so I’ll still be going next year.

Anyway, that’s enough from me, so see you all on the Monday Moan 8. Till then Bye…


Friday Blog
Friday, March 15, 2019

Another Friday means another ramble from me.

The Teespring shop will go live later today replacing the other shop.

However, first let’s talk The End or the Beginning. Part 41 – This link episode brings all the character together in the same place. Matt settles in and all the stories will centre around the main characters. This marks the start of the final leg of the story. It’s not over yet, but the stories will now be based in the UK.

Work still continues on copying info from the desktop to the mobile version of the website mainly the city guide. It’s on the builder but it’s not ready yet. I have a lot of paperwork to sort through this weekend, council and student loans etc… so I’ll not have as much time to sort through the website. Hope I’ll get time on Saturday while the football (soccer) scores are coming in. I don’t watch the matches, I don’t have Sky, Virgin or BT. Nope, I have good old Free Sat.  I watch the boring BBC result service on the red button and boy it is boring. So, I can do something else at the same time.

So that’s it for now, until the Monday Moan when you’ll see me, bye


Friday Again. New Part, New Shop
Friday Again. New Part, New Shop
Friday, March 08, 2019

Well it’s Friday again and that means that a new part of The End or the Beginning is released. Part 40 winds up the pirate story. Next week Matt arrives on the River Ribble and therefore ends his trip to the city.

We are moving our shop from Spreadshirt to Teespring. Few reasons, but the main one is cost for the customer. Spreadshirt is unfortunately expensive and Teespring less costly. Not only do you the customer benefit from a better price but also, I get slightly more per product as well. Also, the mugs can be printed on both sides. It’s a win, win. The new shop will be available within the next few days.

New T-shirt design is also ready as well. Woo Alert. I’ve put the image in the blog.

So, until next time, bye.

Friday Again
Friday, March 01, 2019

Happy Saint David’s Day,

Apt then that the newest part of The End or the Beginning is set off the coast of Wales and has a bunch of Welsh pirates in it. Part 39 brings Matt Cancer back in to the story as he finally arrives in the UK. He is the final piece if the jigsaw left. With his arrival we now enter the final leg of the story.

Other things happening, well you may or may not have noticed the YouTube channel that is now up and running. Still a few technical niggles to sort out. Better Mic and a better camera. Both of these are on order and should arrive within the next few days. Until then I soldier on with the old webcam and mic that I salvaged.

I’m about to put out a new T-shirt called Whoo Alert and a couple novel related products. Keep watching.

Anyway, I’ll be back on Monday with the Monday Moan IV (Not a New Hope) see you soon bye…

Weekly Update
Thursday, February 21, 2019

Hi All,

I have to take a trip to see the council this Friday, all to do with council tax damn bureaucracy.

Okay new YouTube videos. The Monday Moan II and a quick video called Part 18 Narrated Badly.

Part 38 of the story is a link episode. Yes, no killing. No Matt Cancer don’t worry he’ll be back in Part 39, well he is sailing across the Atlantic towards the UK. Part 39 has Pirates in it. Not Jack Sparrow, more like Somalian. Three tasty looking cargo ships, easy pickings, oh dear!!!

Anyway, more to do bye till then.


Friday Update
Friday, February 15, 2019

Hi Everyone,

Part 37 of The End or the Beginning marks the end of Matt Cancer in the United States. It’s not the last time we visit the U.S. because Shane is still there, and we’ll catch up with him next week. So, this is the point in the story that bring the characters together in to one location, but the story is far from over there is plenty more left.

On to other things. The Citylife2050 YouTube channel is now operational. Although still with teething problems. Sound is the main issue, will have to rope my son in to find out what the perfect setting is for the microphone. It works fine on his laptop, but this is going on the big PC, so just have to do some tests over the weekend ready for Mondays upload. The Monday Moan 2. This weekend I will try to get the city map on to the mobile platform. Working on a small form is a lot different. It won’t be the big click on map as in the desktop, and not all the districts will be separate. Some of the districts are hardly used and are as boring as hell.

I also hope to add some extra character profiles including the most noticeable omission, The Professor. Extras to do over the weekend. I’ll also make two new Citylife2050 thumbnails for the YouTube channel for the Monday Moan and Vlog. Plus, I’m adding a new T-Shirt design called Whoo Alert to the shop.

That’s it from me. So, you can see me on Monday on YouTube and enjoy part 37 of the story until next time, bye…

End of Jan start of Feb update
Thursday, January 31, 2019

Part 35 done and dusted. Okay the Spanish is most likely wrong. My daughter believes it is as she translated some of what I wrote and said that Google is always wrong. So sorry but you know Google!

Anyway Part 35 continues the Barbours Cut chapter with Matt Cancer setting off on his mission to see Se
ñor El Greedo and rescue the wives and girlfriends of the workers from part 34. Will he succeed or fail. Wait and see.

You my have noticed the Guest Book, please sign it and say hi, also the You Tube channel is a couple weeks from going live. Been testing the mic and soon the camera. Then you see my ugly mug. Did a little slide presentation from the early images, boy thing have changed since then. The images are now cleaned up and edited before use. For Part 35 the images have been converted to total black. Or their original pen colour before being scanned. Makes some of the explosions look really good actually.

Still more work to be done to the website, Profile work, new city map for mobile and complete redesign of the shop. Will be with Teespring soon which will be interesting.

So that’s about it for now, bye until next time.

Friday Update
Friday, January 25, 2019

This week has been one of colds, coughing and sneezing etc... Sort of stuff that isn’t what you require when writing stories. However, that hasn’t stopped part 34 being written.

Part 34 starts a new Matt Cancer mini story arc. Now I scoped around on Google Earth to find a suitable location and came across an area just over twenty miles from Houston. Now Matt is a Texas boy, so this is home turf for him. Anyway, Houston has been destroyed and the area evacuated allowing a Mexican crime lord access to the local container port and that’s the base for the story. Matt fights the crime lord as well as gets his ships to travel to Leyland / Penwortham. It’ll last a couple more weeks so the body count will stack up.

I hope this damn bug goes away soon. My wife, one of the kids and myself have all been struck down with it. So, some of the planned stuff didn’t get down especially over the weekend as I was not at all with it.

Plan for the week illness notwithstanding. Additions to the website. I’ll refine the character profile page on the desktop. Also put the city guide on the mobile side of the site and just general maintenance elsewhere. I noticed a couple problems within the PDF’s one was a missing image, which had got through as well as the odd mistake in dialogue, but you know that can happen even in the best books, and although I proof read the text, sometimes things get through.

Well that’s it for now, bye until next time.

Quick Catchup for Part 33
Thursday, January 17, 2019

Hi Everyone,

Also, soon I’ll be opening up a YouTube channel. The Monday Moan and fortnightly on a Wednesday a quick video about the state of the story, website etc… a video blog in most aspects.

Monday Update
Monday, January 14, 2019

Hello everyone, well it’s Monday and I’ve been hacking away at the profile index page. I noticed that there are some omissions. I forget the professor for one. The character profiles themselves will also change one by one. Pictures updated from the story where possible.

Next job! Add to the mobile section. The city map section & character profile need adding also the shop section needs adding although as I will be changing supplier that will change as well.

Part 33 – Tomorrow I start on Part 33 of the story. The stricken members of T.J. Investigations are on their way to Rivington to see the Professor, and a plan to get rid of those mutation clouds surrounding the city. I know you like the action-packed episodes but we’re in that lull between the storms. A point in the story to take a breather, before we’re off again.

Anyway, until next time, Bye!!!

New Week New Part
Tuesday, January 08, 2019

Another new episode to the series Part 32. This is a calmer and a talky episode. Lots of character interactions within the T.J. Investigations group. We are firmly based at Leyland this week.

The website work will continue a pace for the rest of the week. More work on the mobile side and extra work on the desktop side. This includes a long overdue upgrade of the character profiles. The city guide will be added to the mobile section although cut down and without the map to click on. Also, the upgrade of the shop will also start within the week. So, it’s all go at the moment. Until later bye…

New Year Post
Thursday, January 03, 2019

Happy New Year,

Now it depends how you view this website, to whether or not you have noticed a change. We’ve got a mobile friendly section!!!

You can now browse the sections of the website from your mobile. Well the bits that are so far operating! It takes time to sort this out and the website over the next few weeks will under-go a clean-up and slight tweaks here and there. Nothing too major in some place. Other areas a complete tear down and rebuild. So, keep watching and keep visiting me, and also pop on to Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. Until next time, bye!

New Mobile Blog - New Mobile Pages
Wednesday, January 02, 2019

Okay welcome to the mobile blog page. This is a new feature of the web-site a whole new mobile section.

Now this is live because it only works with a mobile phone so it has to be published and live to test, and iron out bugs. Also as time goes on it'll expand to the same size as the main desktop version.

The next full blog will be published here and on the desktop version as well so until then bye...
