That was a good weekend!
Nov. 7th, 2005 08:05 amSpent a bit longer on the PC Saturday morning than I'd intended, but despite leaving late, still got to Miki's more or less on time. The M25 behaved itself for once.
A good revel. Civilised. Games-playing, chatting, I did a bit of background harping though (as always) not as much as I'd intended. Much singing and telling of stories over the feast (the Fitz-Johns did their usuall excellent job of feeding us). I did "Sir Patrick Spens" as planned, though with a freeze just before the ladies get to wring their fingers white, for whch I will continue to kick myself for some considerable time. Also gave the Sherriff a beginners book of nice easy harp pieces, since it was his naming day revel and he wants to start learning. Will see him next week at the harp weekend!
At Miki's overnight, along with Brenda, so much happy chatting that night, the next morning, and over a pub lunch.
And then the skies opened: "the lift grew dark and the wind blew loud", as I was saying the previous night. And the M25 was less cooperative as a result.
Right, back from the Isles to the other worlds I inhabit. Caught up on the Upland Marsh, and on Hazard Fort. Need to do the next GM input to Swords, they've stopped chatting and are off to investigate the temple basement. And must get out of indecision paralysis in Shadowworld. Oh yes, and got to go to work...
