Things I should be writing about...

But haven't managed the energy for long form entries.
My youngest brother Marcus (aka Carer) has (for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture) had to give up his job in Leicester. He's currently staying with us and hoping to get a job in this area.
Last week on my day off we made a family trip to Waddeston Manor, home of one of the Victorian Rothschilds. A very nice art collection, set in wonderful grounds - not cheap (unless you're National Trust, in which case you get in free), but a good day out if you like that kind of thing. :-)
I have a new computer. :-) This one to replace my old (and very slow) netbook. I'm currently dual-booting it with Bodhi Linux 2.0 and once I'd sorted out a few technical difficulties, I'm very happy with it. It being intended as my main portable computer, you may well see me using it in future. :-)
Well under a week to go until Return of the Ring, and I'm really looking forward to it - both the event and hopefully seeing quite a number of you there.

This near the event, it would be good to have a bit of info such as whether there's parking, where and when to register, as well as some idea of the programme.
