Last day of the year 2017


Yesterday we went grocery shopping for the upcoming days and in the afternoon we went to friends for a boardgaming afternoon.

We started with Dungeon Time, followed by Dice Forge and then we played two scenarios of Unlock!. In the end we played another game of Dice Forge but with a different set of cards, so the goals of the game had changed.

I think everyone was having fun and we all had a entertaining afternoon/evening.

After that we went home and just continued watching Star Trek Discovery with our japanese Lord.

Friday shopping


Yesterday we went shopping to Mariahilf as usual - although it was during our vacation. But first we went to Donauzetrum for a nice burger at Burgerista.


After that we started shopping right there before we went to Mariahilf and continued to shop there as well.

Afterwards we went home and divided our loot. Included in this was our price from a contest at Otto-Bauer-Gasse, where we won a basket full of tasty goods.


In the evening we watched the last episodes of the current season of MasterChef UK.

Boardgaming Deluxe

Yesterday a dear friend of ours visited - and even brought breakfast - for a long boardgaming day.

We started with the first scenario - again - of Gloomhaven and narrowly - again - didn't make it.

After that we played Mechs vs. Minions and were successful just on the last possible turn.


The conclusion of our boardgames were a lot of short games: Lovecraft Letter, Dungeon Time and Codenames.

After that our guest had to leave, but we continued to play on: Kampf gegen das Spiessertum, Dice Forge and EXIT: Das Spiel – Die verlassene Hütte.

While we were playing, our cats were clueless as to what to do - except for two attacks of Gandalf on our guest (sorry) - and just hid in the flat.


In the evening we went onto the couch and our japanese Lord wanted to watch Star Trek: Discovery.

Boardgaming has started

This saturday we went out for lunch to Sichuan, where our japanese Lord has set up his stomach and didn't eat as much as he wanted to.

In the afternon we started boardgaming with a friend and once my dear was back from decorating the christmas tree.

We played a lot: Potion Explosion, Lovecraft Letter, Port Royal, Codenames Duet and in the evening Mansion of Madness.

And finally, since it's the big day today: Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas vacation has started - with support from @GoodFriendsOfJE

Yesterday was the last working day before the christmas vacation and it went rather well.

In the afternoon we went to Mariahilf and did some shopping at Planet Harry and myMuesli, although I didn't buy anything this time.

In the evening we went onto the couch and watch BBC tv shows and enjoyed the start of the silent and relaxing time.

And since I forgot to post it yesterday, The Good Friends of Jackson Elias sent me some christmas greetings!

Mittagessen

Heute einmal nicht in der Kantine, sondern Würsteln vom Topf (dank Betriebsrätin).


The three faces of Cthulhu

Yesterday after work I went to my parents for dinner and got a lovely and tasty apple pancake.


After that I went home and out again shopping, since I needed some Zotter chocolate for my colleagues for Christmas.

After that I went home and listened to some podcasts - since I was all alone - while packing up the chocolates.

Also I received a package with the last prize the of Yog-Sothoth podcast raffle, which my minions guarded very well.


Later that evening my dear came back home and so we watched some tv shows until our japanese Lord also returned home.
