Hills and Sheep

A week before a fall off of work as we are due for some days off from school.

It's quite welcome, as I need a rest.

Life has been quite good though. Got a game of Star Wars X-Wing in last Saturday which was great, and D&D style Descent is still in full swing and all of us are getting better at it.

Carcassonne Hills and Sheep arrived yesterday. Apparently it's spiffy, so I'm looking forward to trying it out. In fact, a game is scheduled for this Friday with San Fran pal Karen and some lucky other people.

Grace is great but still very full-on.

Both Oi and I have been wonderfully engrossed in The Walking Dead TV show. I'm nearing the new episodes having ploughed through 4 seasons in about 2 weeks. But, what a trip! It's a great story.

I'll be looking for something new. Harry recommended WD.

I bit to busy to play LOTR after work. Too tired really, and would rather rest. When holidays come I shall get going with it.

Listening a lot to David Bowie.

Chicken Kebab

 

School in full swing and going well.

I bought an exercise bike so I don't have to go out on the bike and get bitten by a dog. I have been furiously cycling but the girth is yet to diminish. Sweat pours off in buckets however.

Talking of dogs, I rode into one the other morning on the way to school. Dumb fuck sitting in the road licking its arse when two other dogs started chasing it. It span around and went straight into me with a welp. I couldn't have given a shit, such is my conditioning here.

Gaming is steaming along and occupies a lot of my time. LOTR card game is just awesome and regular games with the fellas here are great, but life often gets in the way.

Grace is at a new school now - the catholic joint in town. Our daily patterns have had to change and I have to pick her up every day and Oi now works private class 3 nights a week. She does it because she wants to and enjoys it. Fair enough.

So we are pretty busy and trying to stay on top of things. Thanks the Lord I have my hobby room to chillax in.

I'm seriously into The Walking Dead right now thanks to Harry, and listening to a lot of Bowie - "The sun machine is coming down". Walking Dead is amazing. Best I have seen in ages. Actually the only ones I like is this and Vikings. Game of Thrones is okay but drags on a bit with endless conversations about nothing.

Friday nights everyone heads to Peter's restaurant. He's from Portsmouth, a teacher in my school, 3 kids and a restaurant. I don't know how he does it. Great food and beer though on a Friday. He does import beers so that's what I drink for my treat. Nice chicken kebab too.
