Horses, Chickens and Scratchers.
Travelling to the other side of the country went reasonably fine. On the road to Maastricht I only got stuck once, behind a horse and coach. Which caused just a 15 minute delay, all in all. The way back though, I did something slightly more stupid. I waited on the platform for my train. Realising that the time my train would leave was there, and normally the train would be on the platform 15 minutes before departing time. Cause to worry. Especially when I see a train with my place of destination on it, leaving without me. Crap. Turned out the train was present 15 minutes before departing, only on a different platform. Which I could have seen from where I sat, the entire time. NS apparently changed the departure platforms. I can't handle change very well.
I saw a penguin drawn on a train. And no, it wasn't me. Unless it has my signature under it.
I've played Fable this weekend. Kinda boring. Though kicking chickens was fun. And also persuading a travelling weapon trader girl in a Lesbian marriage with me was fun. Boy, does she regret marrying me, when she realised she had to live in a cheap gypsy caravan. I think she'll divorce me. *kicks chicken*
And I'm borrowing a pc game, Scratchers. Good old haunting puzzle solving, so it seems. Hope it will work fine on my Ubuntu.
Book meme:
Directions:
1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence;
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page 50;
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page 100;
5. Book #4 -- next to last sentence on page 150;
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book;
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph.
When we started for our drive the sun was shining brightly on Munich, and the air was full of the joyousness of early summer. I replied, 'Somebody must know because the person who killed Wellington knows that they killed Wellington. 'Do you like it?' she asked. She shrugged, and half smiled, awkwardly. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
