It was indeed, a long weekend these past few days, not that that is a bad thing you understand, even though it wasn’t long by choice. The weather had a lot to do with it, although from my perspective it had no right to. More of that later though since it started on … well Friday as it happens. Imagine a wavy cut-scene… (more…)

Curry Night
Looks like tonight will be curry night. This is usually Thursday, so I have no idea what we’re going to do then, but we’ll see. Anyway, Louise wasn’t up to a visit to Penderel’s Oak today and I wasn’t up to cooking, so take-out it is. We found a local curry house on Hungry House, and have some food on order. (more…)
A good morning

Thanks for the upgrade!
Tonight, while out at an Ingress event, I finally made Level 8! I wasn’t certain I’d do it, to be blunt. Recently, getting a GPS lock has been a real chore, with the scanner showing me moving while still and locked solidly in place while moving. Added to this were the fact that I have spent about a fortnight with no in-game weapons and the inability to get more was making it look tough. And then, a most kind-hearted smurf called zedalphus blew up one of our portals not 40 metres from where I stood shivering in a bus shelter, allowing me to re-capture it and get my new level. Since this is about my most public channel, I’d like to thank zedalphus publicly here for his sterling work on behalf of the Enlightened. He (or she) has a truly green heart and should be granted Honorary Enlightened status.
As an aside, Agent GeekyLou was also able to get a new level and is (I believe), our newest level 7 agent at this time.
A fun evening was had by all, including at the Pizza Express where the food was wonderful, though not as spicy as I was hoping for, and the service was entertaining to say the least. (more…)
