Seeing how these threads start to pop up, let's keep them all in one thread :P

SASI/OT (Rune) will be semi-afk until the 28th. Do not hesitate to send me any emails, but be aware that it might take a bit longer than usual to get a reply.

I'll be on holiday from today until the 5th. Should be close to a computer for parts of it, and I'm happy to spend they days with some mulled wine and sending scheming dispatches.

Have a very merry Xmas and a happy New Year. Don't forget to celebrate the winter solstice on Sunday with some proper drunken debauchery.

I shall be spending the entire holiday period no more than 10 feet from a computer but with a glass of port and a mince pie to hand as well. Expect me to write at least one dispatch on christmas day ;)

Having just returned from some serious drunken debauchery I am well into celebrating Christmas as well as New year. Local time being close to 7 AM I choose to not make any serious RoE stuff and instead go to sleep :D

But for the next 10 hours or so I will be paying attention to my emails.

I wish everybody a merry Christmas and a happy New year.


Cheers!

Merry xmas all.  Or perhaps more IC:  Peace be upon you this Eve of the Dead..

Hmm, not quite the same sentiment.  I expect Anuire has a somewhat quiet midwinter (raging undead incursions from the Shdow World excluded)

I appear this morning to be able to do no more than waddle from my bed to the sofa. I think perhaps I ate too much....

Christmas is good!

My christmas dinner was as follows (for 10 people, selected, prepared, cooked and served by my own tender hands)

Simple undressed slices of honeydew melon.
A rocket and parmasen salad, wrapped in parma ham, drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
Crusty Norfolk Bread Rolls, with fresh local butter.
Roast Turkey, wrapped in streaky Suffolk bacon served with a choice of the following; roast carrot, roast parnsip, roast onion, broccoli, cauliflower, leeks, sprouts, mange tout, minted peas, roast King Edward potatos (in skins), mashed potatos (with garlic), yorkshire puddings, devils on horseback, sage and onion stuffing, apple and herb stuffing, cranberry sauce, bread sauce, turkey gravy and vegetable gravy.
Christmas pudding.
Black Forest Gateau.
Apple Pie.
Brandy Cream, double cream and custard.
A couple of bottles of good rioja or a decent colombard.
Cheese and biscuits, including bungay blue.
LBV Port.

All produce and ingredients, except the starters and the wine/port, were made within 50 miles of my house.  ;D

I think I got everything :)
