Relaxation - ish

My holiday year started again on the 1st April, so I celebrated by taking today off!

So today I:

• Supervised the plumber who came to fix our ever-overflowing toilet (he also does bathroom fitting and tiling and as we are seriously thinking about having our bathroom replaced this year the word 'hmmm' sprung to mind.
• Mowed the lawn for the first time this year, managing to avoid mowing over the bunches of primroses (and other flowers I can't remember the names of) which have, very prettily, invaded the lawn.
• Read a goodly chunk of the Clarke book I'm re-reading.
• Played computer games (the appalingly named but enjoyable 'Infinite Undiscovery' on the XBox and had a go at Lord of the Rings Online on the PC)
• Spent an hour on the exercise bike.
• Caught up with one of the two episodes of Supernatural I hadn't got around to watching (a show that I was a bit 'meh' about for the first couple of seasons but has really raised its game in the third and fourth).

I call that a good day!

I've actually worked out that between now and going back to work after Wiscon on the 1st of June I've only actually got two full weeks in the office. Yay!

My, that does sound like a lovely day off. What will be keeping you away from the office so much in April and May?

Well next week is Easter, so Good Friday and the following Monday are public holidays (plus we are taking an extra couple of days after to recover from Eastercon!)
The next week is a normal week, the week after that I've got a day off for the Clarke Award final judging meeting and ceremony. The week after that has a public holiday (early May), the next week is a normal week and then it's off to WisCon!

Well, it's too early to say whether I'm a fan or not as I've only played it for a couple of hours or so thus far!
I'm currently on Eldar. What does the 'RP' stand for in 'EN-RP', do you know?

role-playing :)

Ah! So that's the one where you are encouraged to play 'in character'. The other MMORPGs I've played didn't really have that concept. Sounds like a fun idea! I suspect it has less users than the non-RPG servers...

I've got my character up to level 11 over the weekend (I managed to get to level 10 without dying so a nice couple of Deeds there!). I'm struggling to get my head around the crafting quests I've got, though...
