So, i'm back in Britain and back to the grindstone (oh by heavens how many emails I have received!). This means no time to go reading back over a week of LJ. What have I missed in my week away? Domestic and international news also appreciated!

I ran another session of this (Session 4) over the weekend and it was good - there was fun AND frolics, with a slight side dish of fear, which was nice. Very long session (which I approve of) so a lot of ground was covered and there was some quite nice character pieces - including the meek Rigger developing a bit of a spine and the horribly ( Read more... )

My weekend was busybusy but great fun. I spent a bit of it travelling as I was down in Oxford for Saturday for my sister's birthday, which was great (but never eat in the Living Room unless you like overpriced and small portions of food with lackluster drinks and poor service, with a FAR TOO LOUD soundtrack), then some drinkies and some dancing at ( Read more... )
