¦ dialling in from Sky Bunker ¦
15:15 GMT, Saturday 24th Jan 2009. Pale blue sky, thin white clouds at high altitude and pale gold sunlight blazing through the glass canopy above my head. "Darkness Before Dawn" by Killing Joke is playing by choice through big speakers. It feels like an age since I've been up here in the Sky Bunker.
I feel like things are settling back towards a good rythm again... Swampy is back. Jo crawled back into the house from a night-out around 9 A.M. this morning... nursing a serious hangover and a bad case of panda eyes. She had half an hour kip before she had to drive me to the body shop. Swampy was there looking good as new. Fantastic job the bloke did on fixing her wounds. Jo peeled away back home to catch up on make-up removal and sleep; I went to meet up with Nice Guy Tony, to buy him breakfast as a thank-you for letting me interupt the last two Saturday morning's when I needed his assistance with resolving the whole car-crash thing.
Tony and I tucked into fried egg and sausage sandwhiches from the brick hut greasy-spoon on the harbourside... sitting outside in the freezing air, bright sunlight, it was divine. He and I shot the breeze about times in the Agency.
Tony and I headed over to the Arnolfini cafe for cups of fine coffee... more chinwag: he has lots of ideas, and lots of notes on Yellow Dawn... things that could be turned into player supplements.
Then back to mine...
Tony brought round his mighty-wrench. Despite my best-efforts earlier in the week, my toilet had broken again... a couple of metal twists and DONE! Toilet fixed.
Then we settled down to setting up Arkham Horror board game. Pretty good. Very complex. I'm not sure how much scope there is for real strategy... but I'm hoping we can arrange a full-night of it sometime soon.
Meanwhile... the wider game group have started planning week-night slots for digging out old board games. Why should RPG's always get the lion share of time and attention! This Monday will see us getting into Warrior Knights (80's version).
So... it's the weekend and I'm planning on doing... not very much *smiles*.
