Ill at home (not me this time)

Yesterday we were in the run again. Since the flu of my dear was not getting any better and her doctors were already on vacation we decided to go to Lainz hospital and get her checked up. In the end it was nothing serious but a very resistant version of the flu, so she has to stay at home for another week.

In the evening we went back to our routine and watched epsiodes of Selfie and James May's Toy Stories.

The departure of a Lord

The last day of his stay our friend from Japan spent most of the time packing his stuff and hoping to not leave much behind. This time he really managed to put all his things in his suitcase and was able to flight back to Tokyo - of course we brought him to the airport.

Boardgames, boardgames and more boardgames

Yesterday was the last day our friend from Japan was staying with us so we had to play some more boardgames with him.

First was Smash Up, where everyone is trying to win with a two faction deck. In the end shapeshifting super spies won over the planty cyborg apes.

After that we played with some friends the following game: Kingsport Festival - a Lovecraft inspired game, which I got as a present from my dear this Christmas.

After that it was back to laughing a lot with Concept.

The conclusion of the evening - and in fact the whole visit of our friend - was Pix, where we needed to be creative.

The day in between

Since our guest from Japan was visiting his relatives yesterday we finally were able to do the chores that needed to be done. Of course the was time for Guild Wars 2 dailies in between.

English Christmas

Yesterday we were invited to the traditional Christmas lunch of my relatives.

After that we went home again and spent the afternoon playing yet another board game with our friend from Japan. This time we played the latest Pathfinder setting with pirates and ships.


The evening we then spent in a tradtional english way - with Doctor Who on BBC and for the first time ever a real Christmas pudding with custard.

Muesli advent calendar day 24

And so this is Christmas ...


... with a pleasant surprise - a coupon for the online store.


And of course a muesli to go with that: Chocolate banana muesli.


The day before Christmas

Yesterday we took a day off before the Christmas madness starts and did another board game afternoon/evening with our visiting friend from Japan.

The first game we played was the colossal Mage Knight, where we expected a playing time of about 4-5 hours, while in reality it took almost 9 hours to finish this "short" scenario.


After that we played the "funny" disc flipping game Catacombs, where our friend managed to demonstrate his talent - and my failure to do the right thing in one single game.


The conclusion of the day was the gift we received from him - Imperial Settlers. This game is quite nice, as it plays quickly and has an interesting theme to it - so I'm thrilled to play it again soon.
