we've got HOT WATER!!
it like.. comes out of the TAPS!!!
:O
we havent had any for 2-3 years (been making do with a kettle), but we got a new tank fitted today! (which means we could have started using the upstairs kettle for tea instead of water.. but it seems the workmen purloined the fuse out of it..)
other than that its been a blah day.. bloody hot.. won a copy of Planescape: Torment (PC rpg based on the AD&D Planescape campaign setting.. its quite popular, the last PC computer game magazine i got with a "top 50" games had it at #9, not bad considering the game was at least 7 years old at the time!) on eBay..
managed to deflashify (flash = bits of excess metal on minis) all my Vostroyan platoon, and managed to get them into bases (not all that easy, the tabs are notably bigger than the base slots), shall hopefully paint them tomorrow 
ooo, last thursday i won 3 ebay auctions at 8am: The Minrothad Guilds (a BD&D Gazetteer*), The Elves of Alfhiem (ditto) aaaand i also got an 80's looking book entitled "Cities" which had no other bids on figuring "it might have a few useful bits in".. i finally got round to Cities today and.. ITS FRICKIN AWESOME!! 27 random charts for encounters on the city streets, plus a cool system for designing villages and towns and cities (for towns and cities i'll probably just use (FFG/FFE?)'s Cityworks, but i'll definately be using the village system)
*= for those that dont know, if you've ever just gone "ooo, i'm gonna collect that/those" well, with me its the BD&D Gazetteer series: http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/gz/gz.htm
aaaand thats about it for me today.. gnight
