@alastairc.com We're reading Orion's Lost as our family bedtime story. (Feeling quite smug as it was my choice and they're loving it). My voice actress wife is jealous of whoever got the chance to record the audiobook and she says her new life ambition is to play Ship in the film version...

Dean's 40th Birthday Marathon for Chickenshed
Why I'm running As a child, we would always go to London for the marathon, it usually fell around my birthday and it became a little tradition. We'd go to London, watch the marathon and buy a present

I'm not saying my wife is dramatic, but we ran out of orange juice this morning and I refused to pop to the shop. She's been walking around singing a made up song about how it's the saddest day in the world and that her husband doesn't love her ...
