lathanyI found this on the BBC website and thought it was a superb story.
Today Bea ran her first RPG for me (she did one for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bateleur yesterday). Given that she's seven, it wasn't too bad and had a character system (d6 based - although she seemed to think anything that wasn't a six counted as a fail) and a bunch of disappearing robots. However I'm not so convinced by the prospect of taking my elderly parents to Jupiter with me to fight some evil Robot King. We'll see if part 2 ever happens.
I re-read Mourn's Gift yesterday and today, finishing at lunchtime. (My first novel written some years ago - for anyone I haven't told.) I discovered one really nice thing about it - I love it; despite being far more aware of its flaws than I was at the time. Much as I want to be published, I realised that it's a really great thing to enjoy my own work and I'd rather never be published than turn out stuff that I don't really like. Not a surprising epitaph, I guess, but still a welcome one.
Finally, with my parents due in a few days,bateleur and I started the cleaning with a blitz on both bathrooms. I love a clean house, but such a thing involves a constant battle against entropy and hippos.
