Contract news

 I just received a message from the recruiter and i'll be getting the formal contract through next Tuesday.

New job

 I've decided to accept the new job offer.  I'll be starting at the end of next month!  It's also bonus day at my current place so a good reason to celebrate!

The garden's looking nice

 It's a pity it's a little bit too cold and windy to sit out there.

It must get pretty windy down at the bottom

 I thought we'd lost another cover for our bbq, the wind must have blown it off again.  Just messaged April, apparently next door has already messaged to say that it was in their garden.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it but I have been a numb nuts with the bbq.  I forgot to extend the legs and melted off the rubber feet in a hurry to get it up and running.  Doh!

We're nearly there

 But everything is taking so long!  We're level 19 now and so close to the end but every battle takes ages.  With so many attacks / abilities each person's turn can take 3-4 minutes (some players longer), if the fight lasts more an 2 or 3 rounds we're talking hours of play.  Urgh.  It's a slog but we'll do it.  I've suggested to the GM that if the fight isn't going to be that difficult for us then we should just narrate it without all the rolls etc.  He agreed.

3 interviews yesterday

 I had 3 interviews yesterday, 1 for a job I think I already have (if I want it), and another for a consultancy.  There's nothing coming out of my current role (just been bought by another company) so I think i'll take it.

I even put on a shirt

Bowling

 Arthur had a bowling birthday party on Saturday morning and he had a great time.

Matching hoodies with his best buddy.

Useless tags

 When learning to play rugby you start off with tags.  You get a velcro belt and a couple of tags to simulate a tackle which they pick up in u9s.  During the winter the tags get covered in mud and fall off as soon a there is a slight gust of wind, i.e a slow walk.  This weekend April washed them, let's see if they work next week.

I think Arwen has lost something

 She was like this for a good minute before I helped her.  Am I a bad man?

Pizzas again

 We had friends over on Friday night for some more pizza.  Another success.
