Well what a lot of fun Sunday was! It all started out very lazily and then the Fox decided to make some soup for lunch. Now, gentle reader, my advice to you if the Fox ever offers to make you soup is, get some provisions in ... because you're in for a long wait. After discovering that the ultra-expensive pasta he was planning to use was, in fact, made of chalk; dropping half a jar of chilli and lime into the sucepan; having a tomato explode over him; getting 3rd degree burns to his lip after a tasting accident; and four hours of boiling, chopping and swearing, the soup was served. A lateish lunch (5pm) but thankfully the soup was very tasty indeed, which is just as well because by then I was about ready to eat the soft furnishings. Oh, and apparently if you're too damn lazy to chop cabbage for soup yourself, rinsing coleslaw under the tap works!
After a post-'lunch' snooze I decided to play a little EQ before dinner. Unfortunately this game turned into a marathon not unlike the soup saga, suffice to say I finally got off the PC at 10.50pm having 'popped on' for a couple of hours at 7pm. I blame LDoN for this, it's knocked casual play on the head because once you get into an adventure there is no way to get out without really ticking your group off. It's great in so many ways but experience is showing that these days you really need to set aside 3 hours minimum for a game ... and that's if you get into a group pretty much straight away.
Thankfully throughout the day both the Fox and I managed to retain our good humour and patience, so it wasn't anywhere near as awful a day as it could have been had either of us been grumpy. Must close now, as I really need to get ready for work ... TTFN.
