NOTICE - The Final Two Issues of The Eye Shield
Posted: 30 Apr 2011, 13:33
The good news is that the final two issues of TES will be published on May 1st and July 1st 2011 as originally planned. The bad news is that they will both be somewhat shorter than originally planned. This is because they are both going to have to go up pretty much as they are right now, thanks to the fact that my life has been turned completely upside down over the past two months.
On Sunday March 13th 2011, Rosey and I were forced to deal with the sudden, unexpected and unexplainable loss of our mother, who suffered a massive brain haemorrhage in her sleep and died in hospital a few hours later. She was 58 years old. As you can imagine, life has been very strange and distressing for both of us since then. Our mum was not only our mum, but landlord and best friend to both of us, and neither of us has had very much spare time or inclination to do anything except deal with the fallout, both emotional and practical.
This is why I have decided to publish the final two issues of TES as they are (pretty much complete, barring a few potential contributions) so I'm sincerely sorry to anyone who was hoping to write anything new for either issue, but the TES mailbag has now closed for the final time. I am very keen to get the final two issues put to bed, and I am immensely proud of my ten years at the helm of The Eye Shield, but sadly the end now has to be in sight.
Look out for Issue 69 tomorrow, and thanks for reading!
