It is 2007
First day back at work today (since 2006-12-21) and it was ok, but last night I had a headache (which is rare) in the evening, had difficulty getting to sleep (rarer still) and at 4am I awoke with headache much worse (unprecedented). I suppose it could have been due to eating half a box of Guylian chocolate shells while watching the last episodes of Torchwood season 1.
A few days ago, I gave in to temptation and ordered both Gipf (BGG) and Tikal. They arrived today and I’m hoping I’ll able to try Gipf tomorrow evening with mum. Although, we played Torres on Monday and she liked it this time round, so might play that instead. Still pondering Pirate’s Cove.
I had a lovely New Year’s Eve with friends in Enfield, which involved an excellent meal, various wines (including excitingly-flavoured fizz) and several games (Carcassonne, Stratego, Balderdash and Zèrtz). The night before that I visited the House of Light Entertainment in Cambridge, which also involved an excellent meal, wine and a game (Carcassonne). So, a very successful trip, and I even got some more of a database frontend coded whilst on the London-Cambridge train.
Must sleep now. More soon (perhaps tomorrow).
