A number of things took place this month that I never got around to writing about. So here are some summaries here.
Paladin and Laura - Dom's friend Paladin and his girlfriend Laura were over from France/Switzerland and came for dinner and board games one evening. This meant vegetarian curry and a couple of card games. Sadly, I don't remember names of the games. However, the one about different properties (ranked from 1 to 30) and money was rather good. (A quick google search has not helped me.)
Knights Errant - Dom's game continues to go well, although with rather dark themes. The British Isles are cut off from the rest of the world and invaded by demonic forces (there have been various jokes about calling it Extreme Brexit). We've gone in and tried to get to the bottom of what's going on. It's confusing. to say the least. There appear to be six powers (all Dukes), each controlling some Barons and fighting for the Kingship. So far we've caused damage to the Duke of Gloucester and are now bumbling around trying to learn more about magic.
My game - This really requires a name. I've thought of a few - all spoilery. Anyhow, the party is coming together and has been off on its first mission identifying where some willo-wisps come from. Also, learning a bit about their new magical powers.
Macbeth - Ryan's school put on a performance of Macbeth. In 70 minutes. It was watchable and I recognised the story underneath. Ryan was excellent as lead witch, the guy playing Macbeth was good and the rest were rather variable.
Anniversary - Dom and I celebrated our (24th) wedding anniversary at the start of the month. This was in the form of a home-cooked family meal (steak).
Pride - Bea attended Pride in London. It seemed to go OK, although I think she found it a bit overwhelming.
