I was going to post this yesterday but, as I completely forgot about it until just after midnight and hadn’t actually written any of it yet, it has become a Saturday Fragments instead of a Friday Fragments post. This is … Continue reading Saturday Fragments

After our beautiful day at Ocean Beach I was a little on the frazzled side and declined to make a return visit the next day, instead I stayed at the house and played Star Munchkin with David while Adam took Tom and Caitlin back to the beach. Emma, James and William went off for an explore of their own for the day, so when Adam came back with the kids we played a family game of ordinary Munchkin too. Several evenings at the house were spent playing a fabulous role playing game, an invention of James’ titled Waaargh, based on … Continue reading All good things must come to an end
