Well, some progress at last. The assurance of support bond was wired to Australia today, so our bank account is several thousand pounds lighter, but it’s one more milestone passed. Things are looking good on the house front. We really just have the medicals to pay for and that’s us. Here’s hoping for some feedback

Humph. Sold my turnips this morning. 177 bells each – not great, but the highest it’s been all week. I just know Nook will drop the price after lunch so I thought I’d quit while I was ahead. If he goes up to 500 bells this afternoon, I’ll NOT be pleased.

it didn’t quite go according to plan. Essentially, the sale has been delayed a week to allow the buyers to sort out some issues they have. It will be going ahead next week, though. Either that or it’ll be going back on the market.

   In Which Many Things Are Resolved. Well, after buying loads of turnips on Sunday for 94 bells a go, I anxiously checked out Nook the Crook’s prices this morning. 74 bells! RUBBISH!

Well, another few days on. Our house sale is looming – 7th April is the entry date. While we have no real cause to be concerned, we’re a *teensy* bit worried about everything going according to plan because it’s not a normal sale. We’re trying our best not to worry about things but, as the

And so it begins all over again. The only thing that prevented the original GameCube Animal Crossing obsession from continuing was that it was such a hassle getting time on the telly, doing the whole freeloader swappy thing, switching memory cards and so on. On the DS, you switch it on and it’s all there.

Chapter Two complet0red. The beginning of Chapter Three gives me the heebie jeebies and, as there’s a lot going on, the framerate is giving me some problems. I shouldn’t really complain – I’m running it on a Celeron 1.3 laptop with ATI X300 Mobility graphics card, so 1280x800x32 16:9 aspect is probably expecting a bit

I’ve been a fan of H.P. Lovecraft’s eerie tales since I was fourteen years old. His particular brand of creepiness appeals to me, for some reason. His fiction generally centers on the concept that man is just a very small part of the universe and there are things out there which are simply to hideous/vast/old/evil

Had some further clarification from our agent and the delay isn’t as bad as it first looked. Rather than being an additional 4-5 months processing, all that’s changed is the initial queue before a case officer is allocated. So rather than waiting 1-4 months after lodgement for a case officer to be allocated, it’s 4-5

Ok, on the top of the tower lives a worm. The worm lives on a platform floating in the air with a hole in the middle. This worm has one weakness – the four pixel dot at the end of its tail. If you’re fortunate enough to hit it, it runs about even faster. Six
