Renovation News... THURSDAY. That's the day the long-awaited roof work is due to commence. About time.

Gaming News... Heehee - stole TWO horses from the Imperials in Skyrim. First one got killed by a bear before I could work out how to dismount, and the second disappeared as I "fast-travelled" to another city. Justice? Hell, I was stealing from ( ... )
