Just marking the day.

I have spent my entire adult life avoiding gaming.

Today, Dragonfly and Bunny taught me to play Settlers.

Then we went to the Swancon bbq fundraiser, and hadn't been seated for more than ten minutes when _bigjobbies_ descended on us with a block game (like Tetris except with actual blocks and three dimensional).

The bbq was lovely, the weather was perfect and the people were, as always, awesome. I even remembered to invite my best mate and her family along.

I've buggered up my knee again chasing small children around. I'm really going to not do exercisey type stuff that puts any kind of stress on it. So, does anybody actually, seriously, swim for exercise? I really want to know how you manage to not give up out of the boredome of it.

Most significantly - I appear to have made all sorts of rash promises about attending gaming events and inviting people over to my house to play.

I used to swim for exercise but it started to bother one of my shoulders (life is perverse). I guess it was sort of boring but I discovered that one sometimes sees amazing things at swimming pools. I discovered that Kim Beasley sometimes went to the Sommerset Pool (Vik Park) in those days. He was one of the few swimmers who were slower than me and he didn't much like the denizens of the change room talking politics at him. I was waiting for him to become prime minister so I could brag properly about having seen him naked, but it wasn't to be.

You're welcome to drop around to our place on Tuesday evenings for a spot of Settlers now that you're an addict.

How do buggered knees go with the idea of going to the zoo? There are probably wheely things there for pushing people around.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I can't walk - I'm just making a big deal of it now because I've finally come to terms with the fact that this is damage I've had for 15 years and it's getting worse as I get older and I can't do exercisy things that'd I'd normally do.

Swimming ftw!

Zoo good, will talk to Dfly about when Bunny's home, as I am currently confused due to last weekend's switch so we could go to the bbq.
