Necessity...

A bleak, cold, miserably slushy Sunday rife with wintry weather and no desire to go out in it meant there was little prospect of the necessary blip falling into my lap. So it was off into a dark room with a plastic Pac-Man sweet dispenser, a Pac-Man ghost stress toy, some glass marble things that normally lie decoratively in a bowl in the bog, some black paper, an LED torch from the Pound Store and a camera.

That'll be the mother of invention for you.

I never realised all of the ghosts in Pac-Man had names; not only names but nicknames too. That's 'Shadow', or 'Blinky' to his pals, up there.
