The vid is quite cool too.

Woot!
Looks like its a total restart set way before the clan wars , so that means we could end up playing the Battle of the Tukyid at some point too!

Happy Birthday Amanda!

Well after the murder mystery at the weekend (which was cool) we headed west into Cardiff.
It was hot, very vey hot.
We saw peoples(Rachael,Scav-Dan,Rich/Rath,Leon,) and had a fun time which rocked, it was really cool to sit around and chat on the monday evening in the pub, even if I did suicidaly eat a giant icecream thing.....:P

Tuesday we went to the beach with Rich/Rath which was nice, would of gone swimming but the tide was in and the water was full of rocks..and as it was a beach I knew nothing about I was quite happy to leave it.

Then Amanda got ill, which sucked :(
Thankfully the AA were able to rescue us and get us home :)

A huge thanks to the Brown household!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys were awesome! and was nice getting to talk to you both a bit more :)

Shhhhh I'm at work ;)

Moot , a summary.

Hot:
-Another lrp event! WOOOOT :D
-Being 4 days long instead of just a weekend! :)
-Getting to hang around with Amanda/Thenni.
-Testing out "tactical diversification" and pwning Akari with my leet skills.
-The general layout of the site, I like it when they move things around as it helps make every new location we are in "IC" seem like a different place.
-Great REF calls and REF/Marshall support. Generely the staffing was all good and polite and appeared to be considered.

Not so Hot:
-No Computers at GOD, made updating characters impossible, and even worse it made checking my characters skills rather hard to do as well :(
-The really cold sunday evening...REALLY REALLY COLD!
-Bad monster/characters... On the Saturaday evening we got jumped by a female critter attacking people with "enchanted crush", she had no idea of her stats other than the damage call and this was made clear when I used up the rest of my days power on smiting her with various effects... I actually had to prompt her to find out if she was "no effecting " it and her responce was "uhm I dont know" and "uhm I think so" "yes"...grrrr.
-Scaling monster encounters... Really they suck. If the players are smashing monster encounters  with skills and powers they have bought, then let them! Afterall it will just mean that they will be out of power for the rest of the day. I grow tired of seeing monster encounters becomming immune to spell effects after 2-4 waves. :(

So yes you get to see me in my scrubs.

Red Dwarf....No Spoilers!

Hmmmmm.

Well Part 1 (I refuse to call them episodes,as they lack the content) was ok, nice start to the program, but it seemed forced at times, and I wont talk about the specifics of what I did not like ;)

Part 2:  Was TERRIBLE. Sure a lot of the referencing was kinda fun,  seriously I was looking for something else to watch it was so poor...Maybe even Primeval or "UKs got talent".... :(

I hope part three is better...

Decorating

HAd a fun weekend so far :)
Is really nice to be able to spend entire DAYS with Amanda, makes the weekends nicer :)
Work this week was great, I came home smiling every day and love it all :D

This weekend we have raided waitrose for fantastic reduced curry sauces and spices, they were all 45p or 35p each ,reduced just because they need space I think! :O
We have also been decorating..Well destructoring so far :P
The Dining room is looking good, we have taken off the wallpaper and begun the sanding and filling of holes, one wall is almost ready to be painted. We do have some large areas to replaster but thats no chore really (Well except for the hands...That stuff really dries the skin!).

Right time to make food! :D

Victory is mine!

Had my third interview today at the vets practice and it was great fun, nothing beyond what I know and all things I can do well :)
Stood in and assisted Noel Fitzpatrick with a couple of consultations and then had an interview with him.

To cut to the end, he offered me the position :D

So I R now Vet nurse! :D

Was a really nice interview, and he explained how I had the right attitude for the job and the right apptitudes too. He also then went on to explain how it would be a good stepping stone for me to take this position as I would then be able to use it to move on and get a veterinary qualification and become a practising Vet!
Was all very affirming and I am still slightly in shock.


So my first day is a week on monday.

The half day trial/second interview went well, had great fun working in the vets kennels :)
And even better I have got another interview on Thursday for the aux nurse role too :D

Its true, lrpers are everywhere :D

  • 20th Feb, 2009 at 10:26 AM
Draco
Had a great time at the workshop for the murder mystery weekends last night, it really is a job created for lrpers :)
Just have to hope they liked us enough to hire us both.

One of the many highlights was at the end when we were talking to one of the directors and mentioned lrp as previous experience, he grinned and said he used to lrp when he was in Swansea, I mentioned Aber and he asked when....Turned out he is Buckit head Dans cousin! :D

So  yeah how cool is that!
The family resemblence was quite strong too.

Possible shinyness :D

Had a phone call from the veterinary surgery today regarding the application and interview I have allready done, they would like me to spend four hours next monday working with them as a second interview :)

Hopefully this means I will be able to wow them with my skills and personality and get the job there , I like this idea :)

So far this week has been good, Friday/saturday I found my watch which I thought I had lost, had a cool Valentines day, Had the phone call today for the interview AND have managed to pick up a couple of bikes off of freecycle, so I can actually get to work/come back without having to rely on Amanda and her car :D

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Valentines.

Draco
Yesterday was a nice day, was woken up by [info]woodbrook  with a lovely card and a rose, so I scampered off to the various places I had concealed the card/rose and gift for her :)

Then after a lovely breakfast we went off to a nice romantic session of KICKBOXING...
It was fun, though not something that I could keep up for to long, some of the basic kicks were really making my weaker knee suffer (using it as a pivot point is never healthy :P ). Still we held our own, I never punched her in the face and was not punched back so all was good :D

After kickboxing we got back, had some dinner and then went to work getting the trench dug for our beans/peas, before heading in to make tea.

[info]woodbrook  made a splendid caserole, and I made the dessert which also was awesome and wonderful :D

I then made it winter in the back garden, and we would of had dessert out there in the snow, but it was tooooooooooo cold. so I showed her what it was like before we scampered back inside :)

so it was a fantastic day of romance and niceness , I am Vhappy :D

------
This morning I ache :(
I also have a free trial of Everquest 2, sent to me by Adrian(Yaskel)..It looks quite pretty now that I have turned most the graphics options up, instead of the noob settings it starts with.

Need to get food.


Weather WAR!!

Well as most of you are probably aware, it snowed today!!!
Which is cool :)
It was so fantastic walking around seeing everyones happy faces as they took a day from their lives to just enjoy themselves :)

We wandered around a bit, taking pictures and just having fun before hitting the gym for more fitness making.

Tomorrow we need to make a snowman...There will be snow sculpting!!!11!!!11!

So far in our garden we have spotted:

1x Sparrow Hawk.
a group of about 12+ Sparrows
1x Flock of Starlings
200x Dinosaurs (those large grey things that go around going "coo coo" and eating everything..You know, the ones the size of horses! :P )
4xBlackbirds
1xCrow (from the large colony just behind our garden, it only popped in to torment a Dinosaur/pigeon).
1x Robin
Numerous finch type birds.

And today a Green Woodpecker! :D

Farming.

Well am back from the farm, it rained on us for almost all of the day but we got a good amount done.
We started just clearing plots which had got totaly overgrown,mostly of comfrey which had all died back and turned into gian black slimey tentacles!!!1!!
We planted some seeds (peas and tomatos) and pegged down the sheeting over some of the larger plots.
In return we got food (always good, I like being fed) and a nice box of fruit and veg! :D

was nice to be outside getting exercise, I can certainly feel it in my arms and stomach area, so it should have the added bonus of helping with "plan GET INTO SHAPE" :D.

I have got a job interview on Friday, felt quite guilty that they did not phone Amanda up and offer her an interview aswell :(
But either way one of us working will be a good thing :)

OOOH and I forgot!

We saw the piggies, the boars were HUUUUUUUUUUUGE! with huge tusks!

Nice honest farm work...

Stupid Halifax..Stupid plumbing!

Due to their ineptitude they just tried charding me a £28-00 for one day....one bloody day!
A fee that would not of happened if they actually did their job and processed my money!
Had to rant at them.
MAde them apologise but am angry still.

EDIT:
And now the cold water pipe that connects to the washing machine in the utility shed has burst off..Just spent many cold and wet minutes saving the place...Had about an inch of standing water on the floor :(
Hopefully its just that it needs some sealant on it..if not its plumber time.

Woot what a day..
Have lunch then go to bed methinks.... :(

Gardening is going really well, we have cleared one plot totaly now (well aside for cleaning out the few roots and weeds remaining) and [info]woodbrook</lj>  has pruned the Roses.
Its been really nice doing outdoors stuff and getting down and dirty, I had forgotten how much I enjoy this type of thing :)

The wildlife is responding well, the little sparrows and tits are using the feeder we got. And after we went back inside today the garden was covered with a flood of birds of various types, getting seed and worms :)

Even more exciting than that was the SparrowHawk that settled down on the fence! (perhaps not great news if you are a sparrow ;) )
we have a few regular birds now, a female Blackbird and a Robin.I am suprised that Mr Blackbird is not around though.
