Update
I really should update this - I've been putting it off until I had pictures, but hey, I keep forgetting, even though they're on my computer (at home. not here).
So, I went to see my new baby niece the weekend before last. She's adorable - and so tiny! And I saw my godson (her brother). It was just really nice, even if we couldn't stay for long since they live up the other end of the country. I'm always sad that we don't get to see them more. Like I said, I have pics and maybe one day I'll get round to posting them.
We also went to see my parents, who are home from Florida for the summer. And I finally got Robin to admit that there are some parts of the north with are gorgeous. Usually he teases me because I come from the edge of a city and he's all 'it's so built up and depressing' and refuses to see why I always loved it, but I took him on a 20 minute drive out Marple way, to the edge of the Peak District and he was just floored, which was nice.
What else... Oh! My copy of The Sims 3 came on Saturday and I am definitely a fan! It's like they read my mind and took out all the things that made me crazy about the Sims 2 and used to drive me up the wall, but left me with the basic game. Loads of things improved and fixed and game play is a lot smoother and more enjoyable (I will -not- miss the endless loading up of areas!). True, the graphics are really not that much better and because there's no expansion packs it's still quite a small game, but generally, I think it's great and I won't be looking back.
