After about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo, Corinna has taken the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.
Well, Corinna has gone up to Staffordshire to see my beloved eldest step-daughter for a week, Dave B-P has a job interview and Jess has gone with him, and the Oakham Police Department have finally (after three months) decided that they are not paying for the damage they did to my mother-in-law's door last July. Because they have taken so long about it, I am now three-hundred-and-fifty quid out of pocket and she won't be able to claim on her house insurance.

The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...
The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies.

He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus... did we mention the orange cat?
