Back from holiday, adminship request up
We had an enjoyable time in France and arrived back on Tuesday but I’ve been reasonable busy (*cough*SpellForce) and so have had little time to write this blog. I will be writing up my work experience entries soon, I have the diary on this desk waiting! While we were there we saw Gran & Grandad (obviously, since we were staying with them) and Aunty Barbara was working across the road on a holiday home she part owns. She claims that to plumb all one needs to know is how to weld a pipe and thus all plumbers are ripping the world off; I’m doubtful myself. The weather was no where near as good as it usually is but it wasn’t unpleasant for most of the time and so we played lots of croquet on the lawn. Since the grass had recently been dug up for some repairs to the septic tank stones were found all over the place as we played and complaints became vicious as the game went on. As usual I teamed up with Gran (although at the end of one game I switched to Grandad as Gran had something to do). Annie worked with either Grandad or Father and it was highly competitive. There is some dispute over the final result but I’m sure that Gran and I won by winning one more game than Annie and her team. Because of the weather the village lake never really had time to warm up and so we couldn’t swim in it properly although we did make several valiant attempts on various days. This lowered our chips and ice cream consumption considerably as in previous years we went almost every afternoon of the trip. We also went to ‘Arbre d’arbre’ and traversed the trees using ropes and aerial runways, but I only did two out of the five levels, unsurprisingly. Unfortunately, I was unable to return Kvetch‘s postcard but since he did the same to me the previous year I’m not too concerned. I was surprised to find SilentFlame still alive when I got back but found an e-mail (amoungst a measely forty-one) saying that it was being migrated to a new box a few days before I got back and so it will have had a chance for a reboot then; I can’t therefore tell what happened. The SilentFlame IRC channel totally emptyed after my shell went a few days in, even of ChanServ!
My request for adminship is finally up and accepting !votes, and so far it’s doing okay – I’ll keep you posted.
