round-up

Whew! Got my taxes done (far too close tot he last minute!) And a nice bit of cash to come back, which maybe The Teacher and I can use for some of the trips we keep planning for our spare time (ha! as if we had any of that!)

She and I had a delicious dinner with C& M last night. She really liked them a lot (as who wouldn't) and everyone seemed to get on well.

I got the latest car tuneup accomplished after about 3-4x as long as it should have taken, nuking most of my day.

Also had a very fun game of Battlefront over the weekend with some of the lads, followed by a game of Agricola. I'm almost sure my hairsbreadth victory had nothing to do with forgetting to tell them important rules until near the end of the game. (Which john_arundel swears is part of my fiendish MO.

Speaking of him, The Teacher and I also went out yesterday to see the MTT field at Marietta. Master Arundel was there with Sir Geoffrey Peel's Company, all looking prosperous and healthy despite the rain Saturday. We stopped and talked to people from several other groups, including fellows from The Ship's Company, who had erected a slice of a ship's gundeck as their camp. Also some WOTR chaps, a group of 1er REP, an East German infantryman, and some early Byzantine types. Oh, plus lads of the 84th RHE (Rev War) and a motley group of Jacobites. :-D
