Anniversaries, Disreputable Dogs, Hay-on-Wye and a metric arse-ton of science romances...

Well, it was the 5th wedding anniversary of Elin and myself on Saturday, so to celebrate we left the kids with Elin's parents and headed off to Hay on Wye for the weekend

Glad you had a lovely anniversary weekend. Bimbling through second hand bookshops sounds like heaven! (I had better not metion Hay's existence to Jim, or he'll probably move there...)

Also glad you're enjoying Lirael. As you were so intrigued about what Sabriel and Touchstone were doing, I can highly recommend the "Across The Wall" short story collection, as there are lots of side stories regarding Sabriel et al, and other interesting little tales set in the other side of the Old Kingdom wall.

Yeah, I just discovered Across the Wall. That's now required reading. :)

Oh, and I forgot to mention how ace it sounds to incorporate Charter and Free magic into D&D. **goes all envious**
:)

Yeah, it's not really altering anything mechanically but it's a cute explanation of the difference between Wizardy magic and Warlock magic. Basically Wizards and alchemists use the Charter and Warlocks use Free magic. Warlocks being the Necromancers and all.

...of course, what I really want to do is stat up the bells :)

I'm thinking of using Chlorr of the Mask as a major villain aswell...
