So, we've found a mysterious, deserted ship, full of dazzling technology the like of which we have never seen before, with vast corridors full of plants we have never seen before, and what do we focus on to the point of obsession? The toilet facilities. Some people probably don't deserve to be a roleplaying party. :-D

We got home from Mitcheldean this afternoon, having returned via Winchcombe and Calleva Atrebatum. This will probably be a short write-up, since sitting hurts (as does standing, lying down and walking, which is rather unfortunate.) There are pics.

( An assortment of people came a-visiting this weekend for an assortment of activities. )

Last week was spent doing some epic roleplaying in Cornwall, while ridiculously unseasonable weather blazed unseasonably in the great Outside beyond the windows, and numerous animals sprawled around us, beneath us and upon us. After finding a missing turban and failing to win a balancing competition, we travelled to "Gleen of the 17 Pillars", where ( Read more... )

We got back yesterday evening from a week of over-indulgence in the Forest of Dean, which was followed by a day falling asleep all over my parents' house and a day struggling to find the energy to dance at a folk festival, after which we decided that we were Too Exhausted Even For Bellowhead (and this is truly exhausted indeed) and came home a day ( Read more... )

Gah! The oven man finally turned up, one week late. Now he needs to order us a new element. There's a "strong possibility" that it will arrive by tomorrow afternoon, and if it does, he will be able to fit it some time after 4 tomorrow. The problem with this is that I need to get all the weekend's shopping done before 4, since I need to take the ( Read more... )

The long Easter weekend was spent rampaging around Westeros while eating cheese and rhubarb.

In the last few days, I've seen at several very different things described as the "traditional" way to serve pancakes. I know that a pancake in America is different from a pancake in England, and a pancake in Scotland is different yet again, and other countries are doubtless different, too, but these sources were, as far as I can tell, all talking ( Read more... )

I seem to be Facebooking rather more than LJ-ing at the moment, probably as a result of getting my new phone. It lends itself to a quick "I am doing X" Facebook style update, rather than the lengthier LJ stuff. ( So what have I been doing since the last LJ update? )

I'm not a very good roleplayer. I'm in awe of people who can channel their character who hours on end, having long conversations entirely in character, or even thinking in character. While I can channel characters easily enough when writing a story, it just doesn't work in a roleplaying situation. I can't act, I can't sustain speaking in character ( Read more... )
