Pendraken closing on the 20th ... and it's the 17th today. Hmmm.

This is exquisite torture.

If this turns out to be a mono-trailer, I'm gonna be upset ...

Any rumoured 'sleighs' would only be a preview and not a release, so put your wallets away gentlemen.

Dear Sunray Claus

I was very sad to see there was nothing under my tree yesterday. This is probably because I don't have a tree because a) I am conscious of the environmental impact of trees (real or plastic) and the cost, both personal and national of all those extra lights b) I share many views in common with pre-phantasm scrooge Scrooge and the Grinch before that dratted child got at him and c) CBA.

However, I was looking  forward to some exciting Pendraken news before Christmas, and since none was received, I was compelled to break into the house next door and steal all the little girl's presents. I left the wrapping and boxes so she would have something to do on Christmas morn - I'm not a monster.     

So here, Sunray Claus is a picture of little Amanda on Christmas morning, clutching yet another empty box.

My bigger worry is that all should be well with Milady, and the princeling and the youngling and, of course the Dark Lord.

I must agree with FSN in being much aggrieved that Sunray Claus failed to deliver any of the promised Great news before Christmas Day, thus tarnishing the event forever.
 Even the piece of coal i received in my stocking could not revive my shattered Christmas spirit.
Forever BAH HUMBUG.

I can't help feeling the reason for non-delivery of said "sleigh" definitely falls under the heading of force majeure. An epidemic being a standard inclusion in most force majeure clauses I've been party to. :)

Indeed. Hence my footnote.

I am sure Amanda has too much stuff already that she has no time to play with. so I think you did her a favour Nobby.

( I think the above comment might be a bit hypocritical, but she's got to learn the hard way  :d )

I dunno. The orphanage is a bit strapped for cash at this time of the year.



I'm also beginning to regret the "No present for you, you've been naughty. Signed Santa" note.

And eating the mince pies.

No sleigh for Christmas sadly, and not a lot else either I'm afraid.  Still decidedly wonky at this end so I've only made it into work for a couple of hours today to catch up on emails.  I'll try and get some more stuff done over the coming days and put up a preview pic of one of the new 'sleighs'.

Take care of yourself first Leon, and the family.

We, the raisins in the Pendraken Christmas pudding, can wait.


I may even give Amanda back her presents.

Twas the days after Christmas and all through the forum
There was waiting and wanting and whining and wailing.
What was the cause of this lack of decorum?
What was it triggered this ranting and railing?
The cause of the uproar is easy to say,
The forum was promised first sight of a ... "sleigh!"

Was the forum excited? Excited!? You bet!
"Take our money, take our money," everyone said.
"Put you wallets away, it's not ready yet!
The family have Covid and I'm off to bed!"
"Look after yourself," the forum did say,
"The best laid of plans will oft gang agley!"
