Editorial – September 2024

The plan was that, once Kevin had been safely delivered to Heathrow, I would have several weeks in September to get caught up on stuff. Sadly things didn’t work out like that.

We had both done Worldcon and been fine. We had spent three weeks touring Wales, including attending Carmarthen Pride, and been fine. Then we went to London. Kevin, thankfully, managed to avoid getting infected, but I spent the next two weeks recovering from a bout of COVID. It was very annoying.

It was also quite odd. I had very little in the way of symptoms. Indeed, had I not just been to England I might have assumed it was just a cold or allergies and not tested. So then I had two weeks of feeling mostly fine waiting for it to go away. I can see how so many people are wandering around sick and spreading it.

One thing I am pleased about in this issue is that I have got back into doing podcast interviews. Hopefully this will once again become a regular feature of the magazine.

The good side of this is that I should now be safe for the four events, including three conventions, that I have to go to in the next 5 weekends. October is going to be rough.
