So many people with laptops in the pub this morning, I'm almost worried it is a working day and I've got my dates confused.

Really enjoying writing this script, although it's taken me until pg 20 to reach the part I intended to hit by pg 10-12, so I may not enjoy the editing stage.

Went to see The Drama yesterday, which was maybe a risky move two months before I get married, but the film was good and at least I got some solid lessons on what not to do.

Finally watched the last season of Stranger Things. It was... okay? Started off quite fun, but seemed to stagger more and more under the weight of cast size and worldbuilding as it went along.

The actual last scene was solid though. Felt like they eventually hit the right ending.

Cheers JP!

Cheers! And thanks for all the help promoting it! And the lovely artwork, obviously.

It's finally all over! Thanks loads to anyone who backed the Courier Z v2 Kickstarter, it's been one of my best campaigns ever. Very happy to see so much appetite for post-crime.

Now, time to clock off and fall asleep in my van.

We're counting down in minutes! The end is nigh! Get in the post now!
