... the IT man in LibraryLand
So, I've spent the greater part of a week at our "ends of the Earth" branch working on many a project from my vast portfolio of projects to be done.
One was a tad trepidatious upon starting this endeavour as I had forewarned my staff at the branch of the times of my attendance.
All has turned out fantastically as they have provided not only the eponymous two cakes for my daily consumption but also many a small snack has been appearing throughout my days of hard work - rolls, bites and leftover book club biscuits - it has been a parade of IT support satisfying snacks and one shall be sad to finish up this project and waddle back North to one's usual work places.

The Hallowed Hunt by Lois McMaster Bujold
I finished reading this third book in Buyold's Chalion world last week.
I enjoyed it as much as the others with the only downfall being no real connection to the first two stories - being set several countries away. Her writing was The usual easy to digest prose and I recommend it highly.
I think parts of it may very well make their way into future, or even present, fantasy games that one runs.

Local Warming
This weekend past was a busy one indeed.
Friday night was consumed by one of those pre-event shopping trips where you just keep adding things to the trolley because they will make the event better. Finally you arrive at the checkout with a huge mound of foodstuffs most of which will still be lurking in your fridge the day after the event.
Saturday afternoon was the occasion of the main event itself - a drop by housewarming to welcome Salsa Girl into the place and celebrate this latest stage in our grand experiment.
Having not much space in our residence we invited only those that were known well to both of us (lest the legendary horde of Phill-friends cause a major sardine effect).
I think it all went off quite well with a rotating cast of about a dozen including:
After such a hectic and fun-filled afternoon Salsa Girl and I headed off to spend the evening at the birthday celebrations for BestFriendSincePrep's bester half. With a tended cocktail bar and eighties music galore it really was quite a delightful way to end the day. And there was chocolate cake!

- Legion2 sadly flying solo due to family illness, well other family than yours truly
- The Great Sandro who planted himself on the couch ne'er to move
- MatrixMan and Vengeful Vic with young Couch Killer in tow and solidifying his blog name with a delightful splash of red on our new couch
- The Double Jays turning up WITHOUT their trademark chocolate cake!!!!!!
- ElfBoy and Elfboylet making a big mess and being scared off by The Tiger.
