Damp=no condition!

Seemingly. Apart from an awful wake up at 4am Thursday 9/06, due to difficulty breathing, this week hasn't been bad. Almost in half way now... but hopefully the wet weather will hold (and the land needs the water) so my symptoms will be abated...!

Beyond - Launchpad BW13

 Hello everyone and welcome to the return of Beyond The Launchpad.  As I type this I have no idea where the new direction is going to go following a relocation to Launchpad BW13 from the original of BA 80 and a LH53 residence of a near decade.  What's in a name you might ask.   I figured that a view from the new upper level of BW13 would be in order.  So here it is from a pre-Easter observation.  From here in where I can I will be posting here as well as on some of that so called modernity of image facilitators, Insta.  That however is for everyday stuff, here I want to do something a bit more nuanced.  If I can.

Time to start posting again - but unsure as to what, given that most of my time seems to be caught up in the Twitterverse or scrabbling about at home. Was thinking of using this as a reviews thing but then all the venom that that would no doubt create would cause me issues. Then I thought, what about your building projects, what about that? Of course that is an idea but it's not exactly what Beyond the Launchpad was set up to be. I'm giving myself a window until the new year to start thinking what next.  Any ideas - well, you know where to comment...
