Brain Training (DS)

My brain is old and atrophied. I started out with an age of 59 then dropped down to 45 now I’m back up at 57 again. Harrumph. Mined ewe, it’s early days yet. Debbie had now been inducted into the evil obsessive world of Sudoku, thanks to the lovely elegant interface and wealth of puzzly

Danger Will Robinson! Missing Images Ahead!

Okay, because of the blogging software I used to use, the root directory of Nelefa.org is teeming with thousands of image files which, as well as making the site a pain in the neck to maintain, is offending my sense of order. So, I’m going to be deleting the whole lot and reuploading them via

Riding a bike – again

Dot’s turn this time. She decided she was going to ride her bike, yesterday, and asked for the training wheels off. Then she just kinda got on with it. Minimal help from mum and dad, just wanted to do it her way. And here she is, in all her newly mobile glory. Edit: Erm, well,

Warcraft III – Reign of Chaos (PC)

The human campaign is finished and it’s the Undead campaign next. The FMV at the end of the campaign was pretty amazing – there’s a World of Warcraft movie on the cards and I think it would be madness to have some live action abomination when Blizzard have been producing consistantly incredible FMV for years.

Stuff that’s not about games

Anyone would think we never actually do anything cos the only time I ever post on here is about video games. Fair enough, we don’t do an awful lot, granted, but we do occasionally do some stuff that involves actually being outside and things. For example: This weekend, we mainly worked on the garden. Our
