It’s been a funny old [insert timespan here]: my new job is great, Christmas preparations have been going well and I’m only really behind on my Warmachine stuff. And maybe LARP planning.

New JobI started working for the University of Nottingham in early December. I work at Nottingham City Hospital though, which is a (free) bus ride away, so I’ve ( Read more... )

Wow, I've not had a job for well over a month and it's still too busy for me to get anything done! Part of that is due to me getting up late, and this week has been a week of late starts. Especially today, as I got up at 11. Still I have a nice photo to share with you:

Come LARP with us!

Nothing wrong with massive cross-posting! Tell your friends!

Spain was brilliant. We saw where Sharpe did this-that-and-the-other, and where real people did stuff too, as well as visiting some historical sites for their own merit (Caceres and Salamanca cities). Once I've posted the pictures to Facebook I'll link them back here and do a proper write-up ( Read more... )

My University course is getting in the way. I've had a great epiphany regarding LARP and now all I want to do is write and run stuff. This comes after a discussion Matt and Neil were having as we walked back from Tabi's on Saturday night. ( Read more... )

Yes, I've been off for a week, supposedly tidying the house. The back room is, however, in a worse state than it was before and the lounge hasn't significantly altered... The kitchen was tidy but then someone did some baking! Still, we achieved something by getting stuff sorted and actually put stuff away rather than just moving the junk from ( Read more... )

Well, having had a good game of Warhammer on Sunday (against Vampire Counts), using a 1500pt Daemons list, I've discovered the areas which need changing to make it a more competitive list. I think I'm going to cut down to one unit of 20+ Daemonettes and cut out one of the Heralds (she's not needed if I only have one Daemonette unit). I'd like to ( Read more... )

I came back to work this morning after Freshers' Fayre and checked NOW (NTU Online Workspace) for my timetable: nothing, just the same 'does not exist for this Course' tosh. In desperation I went back to the now outdated and should-not-be-used VLP. Now, it's not a full timetable, but there's one lecture on one day and that's all I need! I now ( Read more... )

As requested by ltcmdrjim, here is the picture from the Adventurer's Mart website of my new sword (I have saved and re-hosted the picture because there's a stock change due Friday): ( oooooooh, shiiiiiiiny! )

I discovered this morning (while searching for restaurants) that there's a new restaurant and bar in Nottingham called Vienna. Reading a couple of reviews I noticed they were recent and talking about the 'old Hard Rock site'... Some further research proved that the Hard Rock cafe has, indeed, gone (and I wanted to go there for my birthday!) and ( Read more... )
