Holidays and Discworld
since my last post i have had two four day weekends
the first was spent with Stephania88 on the peninsula
it was great
friday was my grandfather's birthday
he turned 96 and couldn't stop telling people it was his birthday
he had fun
we had fun
and he got to sit next to Stephania88 hehe
it was good seeing the whole family
and to have Stephania88 there as well
the whole weekend we had super weather for going to the beach
we were less than 5 minutes walk from the it
it was great
i hadn't been swimming for over a year
on the sunday we went bowling
i couldn't remember the last time i went bowling
but it showed for the first few bowls that i hadn't been in a while
i think in the first 5 bowls i only knocked over 7 pins
suddenly something clicked and i started bowling well
and in the second game i bowled the best i have ever bowled
i got a score of 163
but Stephania88 became upset because i doubled her score in that game
oh well
afterwards we went for icecream in Sorrento to cheer her up
mmm marshmallow and fudge
we were forced to return home on monday night so that Stephania88 could be on 1v100
it was all worth it in the end because she was part of the mob and won monies
hooray!
tuesday, wednesday and thursday proved fairly mundane for me
just work and a bit of shopping
but friday meant the beginning of the Australian Discworld convention
i had lots of fun
i got to see Terry Pratchett himself
and to hear him talk and have him sign books for myself and for ephant
i got to see ephant and others in Mort
i learnt how to play a new game that i thought was fun and challenging
so i now own a copy of it
i also attended many panels, which involved interesting discussions and information
the only problem i had was that you couldn't attend everything
and due to the programming there was a few occasions that i wanted to be in multiple places at once
i assume though that if the convention runs again it will only be bigger and this will mean that there will be even more on
and thus it is a problem attendees will always have
overall the experience was well worth the money i paid for it
i think its time for lunch
seesya later
