Today we decided to get bang up to date (for us) and went to see something which was in use only a few hundred years ago. This was actually the first time I’ve been inside Linlithgow Palace and I was kind of amazed at the sheer size of the place. To the extent that I

They really are. It’s not normal for cats to sit like that. Anyway, this is Mewsly, one of two (the other is called Cornflakes) moggies who let us live with them. Mewsly, as you can see, is just not normal. Our cats are mental Originally uploaded by John Dow

Well, the gambit system is growing on me now – it’s still essentially turn based, but feels a lot more fluid. Anyway, I think I’m going to have to break a long tradition and actually read the manual – the gambit system and the license system seem to be fairly complex – it’s an odd
