How's this for a connection?
I've been a fan of Mornington Crescent (the game) since Noah was a boy, so I can churn out tenuous connections with the best of them. Hence the link between E M Forster and today's leg of the Torch relay. Come and find out about some of the great man's naughtier offerings.

Following that torch and celebrating our diversity
The torch goes from Stornoway to Aberdeen today so I've been blethering at the torch relay about our some of the diverse things which make us British and how we celebrate them in stories.

Almost have my brain back
I had no idea it would take me so long to get back into the swing after jury service but I think I now have some of my grey cells back. Maybe.
Wall to wall rugby yesterday, which was great, and cricket (weather permitting) to look forward to today. And maybe a church flower festival. Ah, what a glam life.
Don't forget to keep following that torch. Some really cracking posts the last few days (although a worrying lack of kilts).

More Torchy stuff
I nabbed today's post at the Torch Relay because of the links with a favourite song. It got me thinking about how exotic foreign place names sound.

My turn to carry the torch
Our Olympic Torch Relay linked celebration of the British Isles and its GLBTQ fiction links carries on apace, through surprisngly sunny Wales. Today is one of my legs, and I've been talking about the links between Wales and the British Flash free anthology.

Torch relay has its own site!
Thanks to Erastes, there's a dedicated site for the torch relay posts, that'll be there in perpetuity. Posting access e-mails are rolling out gradually for those taking part. Very much a work in progress at the moment as this has gone from "idea over lunch" to something dead exciting within a few days.
And, as as if that wasn't thrilling enough, we've got an event going on as part of The Romance Studio and Coffee Time Romance's joint anniversary celebrations.
When: May 12th-14th
Where: Charlie's coffee Corner
What: A celebration - in advance - of UK meet, with attendees dropping in, postings excerpts, offering goodies, etc. More news nearer the time.
