Okay, I’m the first to admit that I’m not very good at doing nothing. The in-between-novels stage is never a period that I find particularly satisfying, no matter how much other stuff I try to cram into it. The need to create is fundamental to who I am, I suppose, and even though it is less than a week since I finished the edit on Children of the Resolution, I’m already getting “twitchy”.
So I’ve started researching proper We Are Watching — watching endless YouTube videos on remote viewing and visiting fascinating sites like this on RAF Fylingdales. Regarding the latter, I’m actually quite surprised by just how much information on the base is available. Granted, the Cold War is well and truly over, but looking at it from the road as we drove by last Wednesday, it looks peculiarly vulnerable sitting out there on Snod Hill.
I know, however, that Fylingdales is going to feature heavily in one of the principal scenes, at least, of We Are Watching. It’s a simple scene involving a group of friends, much alcohol and, as I have hinted elsewhere, a remote viewing exercise — which they attempt in much the same way as many of us have probably messed about with Ouija boards at one time or another. It’s not a serious exercise. It’s just a bit of fun.
Or that’s what they think!
Ouija Boards are childs play
Parlour trickery, right?
Yes, but the ouija board is actually a toy which is quite funny.
People fear a piece of compressed cardboard with printed letters and pictures on it. How irrational?
I wonder if they fear monopoly too?
Well, actually, I must admit I do find Monopoly pretty scary!
What about cluedo?!
It’s obsessed with murder *shifty eyes*
Murder I’m okay with — but I hate losing money. Keeps me awake nights.
