Were you out in the thunder? I was up a hill at the Zoo near a huge radio tower.

There were no visible flashes, and while we were near stampede-friendly wildlife there weren't really enough of them to get it going. It didn't encourage most of the animals to come out and be seen - notable exception the polar bear.

But fun was had, pictures were taken, a Steller's Sea Eagle showed off particularly well, Fleur was very happy and active, and Lily (new favourite word: "hello", always sounding a bit surprised) demonstrated that she could walk with occasional riding and carrying for quite a while. Hopefully this will be reflected in the test results for possibly lowering her oxygen requirement.

In other news, Sir Christopher Lee should have been knighted a good twenty years ago.

And in gaming news, Pink Floyd is not very helpful backing music to SF-horror-war RPGs. And I keep having Star Trek ideas now which don't help either.

I still treasure the look on an old Traveller party's face when the strings segment of the 'Alien' theme started up as they entered the derelict spaceship...

A little obvious perhaps but still...

Gold.
