"The PSC (pre show coffee) Award: Simon" – smudged in transit
Oh my God, I never win anything!
The
"Best Actor Oscar" from Morgan was an honorary thing really, but that
paper plate to the left of it came with ceremony, cheers, and tables in
the corner of an upstairs room of the Lyric Pub Soho – the full Dundies,
in other words – a coherence. The PSC is an award that speaks to me. It
says, "You make coffee before a show, Simon. You are seen. You did not
just crash the Crystal Maze hosts' social last Monday. You were
expected, it's fine."
After
the ceremony we lugged our plastic medals over to the Pheonix – when
was I last there?... I bounded home smoothed by compliments received
for a person I barely recognised, and fortified by the hope of a world
reoreinting itself to accommodate the plans of those just starting out.
Christmas had started early.
In
fact, as soon as Halloween was over – bang on All Hallows' – we'd
transitioned into playing reindeer, and the Crystal Maze wasn't the only
business decking its halls earlier than seemed seemly, in the unspoken
shadow of another possible lockdown sometime in actual December. So it
was good we got the celebrating in when we did, before Omicron Week.
However it
does mean I ended up posting nothing on Monday evening. Or since.
So to make up for that, here's a working week's worth of unposted
quiz rounds from the Dungeon Zoom, beginning with - from May the 14th –
"Woodlouse or Moth?"... There
are ten of each, but which is which? I'll post the answers in the
