The Board Games Club met twice this week. I played Port Royal both lunchtimes. It's nice, simple but deep push-your-luck card game. Definately on my to buy list. I won my first game today with a narrow but very solid win at Port Royal. In other board gaming news one of the IT guys has given me a stack of useful plastic bags and what not so this evening I will be spending some time rationalising my board game collection some more.

This weekend I shall be attending the rugby at Murrayfield en famille. We are a little outing, with MLW, the Captain, the Captain's Particular Friend, The father of the CPF (with whom I coach mini-rugby), an old school chum of mine, her husband and son. I am hoping for better weather and a better result than last Saturday.

I have been to the gym several times this week. Doing quite a few weights. I continue to notice a definate improvement in my physical capabilities. Also, I've found some decent showers and worked out the timing so I can have a proper shower and still get to work on time without having to stand at the bus stop for more than two minutes.

I think I might start reading Kage Baker and Ursula Le Guin's back catalogue. I read a Kage Baker short story in a magazine this week and it delighted me. Also, Ailiette du Bodard, although she is not dead as far as I can tell.

Next week I shall be taking in some One Act Plays. I did some prompting for one my club's entries to the competition. A really interesting play about cloning and the extent to which your personality is genetically determined. Talking about the play prompted a classic conversation with the Captain about where babies come from. Bottom line, he doesn't care how much you love your babies he doesn't see why a man and a lady would want to rub penises together.
