I’m Back Again (Reprise)
On March 3, 2014 by Moonlit KnightWell a couple of eventful weeks. First my hard disk finally gives up the ghost so I bring forward the date of buying a brand spanking new computer, and then, before I really have a chance to play with it, I have an unscheduled winter break courtesy of the NHS. Nothing too serious. Just some Read More
Nous Sommes du Soleil
On February 16, 2014 by Moonlit KnightWe are of the Sun This post title is taken from a track on the double album Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes. Actually the full title is Ritual: Nous Sommes du Soleil which is even more apt as I am sure if I lived in those far gone times I would have been a Sun Worshipper. Read More
I’m Back Again
On February 15, 2014 by Moonlit KnightOh dear. I have been very remiss in my blogging duties. A very long time since my last post, although I may do some back dated posts so it doesn’t look so bad 🙂 I did have some notes somewhere for posts I could have done. I blame it a little on laziness and a Read More
The Joy Of Spring
On April 14, 2013 by Moonlit KnightAt last a day that looks and feels like spring, in fact, it’s quite glorious and fills me with joy. It looks like my winter beard will have to come off soon. I must take some pictures of it though. I haven’t grown one in years and it will be interesting to compare with the Read More
Hurrah More Doctor Who
On March 30, 2013 by Moonlit KnightI am really looking forward to the new series of Doctor Who starting tonight.It will almost make up for this rubbish Spring. I cannot believe the program has it’s 50th Anniversary later this year – it was first broadcast on the 23rd of November 1963. That makes it almost as old as I am and Read More

Gandalf’s Fist – A Modern British Prog Rock Band
On July 29, 2012 by Moonlit KnightProg Rock or , to give it its full title, Progressive Rock had its heyday in the early 1970’s but is still alive and kicking today. Although I was big fan in the original days I haven’t been following it recently so missed the emergence of this band, Gandalf’s Fist, in 2005. Comprising of Dean Marsh and Luke Read More
Fragarach – A Sword Worthy Of The Moonlit Knight
On July 28, 2012 by Moonlit KnightEvery legendary hero should have a named sword. Just think of Arthur and Excalibur, Roland and Durendal, Chrysaor sword of Sir Artegal etc. And, now, thanks to the page Celtic Mythology that I have only recently subscribed to on Facebook, the Moonlit Knight has found his. FRAGARACH the ‘Answerer’ or ‘Retaliator’ was the sword of Manannan mac Read More
Doctor Who Quote No1
On July 20, 2012 by Moonlit KnightI have really been enjoying the re-runs of the recent Doctor Who series on BBC3 and saddened that they have finished. What I did notice was that every now and then a very quotable line would come up. Unfortunately, I have a very bad memory and this is the only one I managed to jot Read More
Moonlit Knight Is Now A DotCom
On July 10, 2012 by Moonlit KnightBuying MoonlitKnight.com Today I took the major step of buying the domain name moonlitknight.com – not for the first time admitedly, I had it years ago but because of circumstances let it lapse. I was originally going to buy it from 1&1 Internet as £6.99 for the first year and then £9.99 annually seemed to be a Read More
