Pre-holiday bonus

I bought Jasmine a Nemo

Work is a bit odd at the moment. Loads of people are leaving or possibly getting sacked – I’m glad I can get away from it for a week to be honest. We’re going to Dawlish next week, with Jane’s Mum and Dad. Should be interesting.

Anyway, as a pre-holiday bonus, I went to see Mum, David and Jasmine today.

Jasmine, as always, has grown loads since I last saw her. Not just physically, but mentally too. She’s so bright, and incredibly polite, so very good for such a young girl. She’s quite independent too, running off to play with the other kids in the park quite happily. She’s a star.

We were in the Marlands, coming down the lift, and she dragged me as fast as her little legs could carry me to the Disney Store – she knew exactly where it was and she knew she wanted to go there! I just had to buy her something, and after a quick look around she became smitten with a little orange Nemo plush. I couldn’t resist spoiling her (I don’t see her often!), and she barely let it go for the rest of the day.

Only one more shift… Only one more shift. Then – HOLIDAY.

Looking forward to just getting away from everything.

Just a quick one...

…to say that I hit 15 stone 13 (and three quarters) this morning. Doing good!

Issues, resolved and unsolved

Resolved: I think I have finally solved the spambot issue on the forum. I have installed new countermeasures that will hopefully stop them dead in their tracks, but still allow new users to get through as long as they have a tiny understanding of what RF! is all about.

Unsolved: Why won’t it let me upload images, dammit? None of the posts on the first page of Waves have images on them whatsoever, it looks so bland! I will contact our hosts, they are very understanding and helpful when it comes to things like this.

I’ll have a ramble about what I’m currently playing while I’m here: Carrying on the Transformers theme from Dark Of The Moon, I have been playing Transformers: War For Cybertron. It’s actually quite good. I didn’t like the demo, but the game was dirt cheap, and I wanted to play a game as a giant transformable robot, blowing up other giant transformable robots. And my, some of them are bloody giant – and I’m glad they never tacked Unicron on the end like that Transformers game on PS2. The Campaign is decent – it tells a good story, and the multiplayer (which takes a bit of getting used to) is great fun. The class based system works really well, and I love the art direction. Kinda takes the old G1 look and updates it so it’s a bit more like the Michael Bay films, but retains a little of the cartoonification. If that is a word. Check out the WFC Shockwave to the right here. Stylish.

I’m currently working my way up the ranks of multiplayer after having polished off all the single-player Achievements. I will get all my classes up to 25 and unlock Prime mode!

Edit: I contacted our hosts and they have magically fixed my uploading issue. They are so good to me.

It's gonna be a boy!

Update: David and Katie are having a boy. He’s due around Christmas time, but the main thing is that we now know what colour clothes to buy!
