Finished Bridge to Another World: Burnt Dreams Collector's Edition,  Had to dig down deep to find that one.  Bought it back in April 2014!

Also finished Fantasy Mosaics 24: Deserted Island.  Just as the others I this series, it wasn't very difficult.  But a very nice relaxing change of pace from hidden object scenes.  I really love the music in these games.  Just wish the games had credits and listed the titles of the music.  This one was a waltz and I know that I know the music from somewhere.

ART has it's annual boring Talk Like a Pirate 'special event' going on and I recently completed the latest MC castle challenge and earned all 3 avatars in both games.  MC also just had an update, and the Wise Dragon's past is being explored, so it seems like a good time to play  Midnight Calling: Wise Dragon Collector's Edition.

I've finished:

Flower Mosaics - Fun
A Plot Story - Fun, rather like Clutter
Danse Macabre: Thin Ice PE - OK
Spirit of Revenge: Elizabeth’s Secret PE - Funny!
Solitaire Legend of the Pirates 2 - Boring
Witches’ Legacy: Slumbering Darkness PE - Loved it
Phantasmat: The Dread of Oakville PE - I liked the other Phantasmat but this one not so much.
Twilight Phenomena: The Incredible Show PE - Enjoyed it!

Hi guys!  

Sorry I haven't been around for ages but I've been looking after my sister, which is a full-time job.  So much for her coming over here and helping me!  The only time I get to myself is when I'm getting all the meals, or doing the dishes, or the washing, or cleaning, or cleaning up, or dealing with the guys who are fixing things around the house, etc...  If I try and get up early so that I can catch up on things, as soon as my sister hears me she gets up, too.  Or I stay up late but then my sister stays up with me, and only goes to bed when I go to bed.  And, should I get some time on the computer, she's sitting right nex to me, reading every single word I type.  So no privacy at all.  I love having my sister here and we're having a ball but I can't wait to have a day to myself, even just an afternoon, when I can play a game and not have to worry about getting meals, and doing all the washing, and cleaning, etc.

So, obviously, I haven't played any games apart from a couple of M3/TMs while we're watching TV, and my sister watches and tells me what moves to make, or what's ready to be collected, etc.  But I've played a couple of really good games and will get them when they finally get to BFG!

But not a single HOPA since my sister got here in July.  Only betas, as I seem to get them all the time.  I found another one on my Inbox this morning but that will have to wait until I get back to Oldenburg.

Because the reason I can catch up now is because I'm sitting in a hotel room in Trier, looking across the road to the Porta Nigra, an ancient Roman gate - Trier was the northern capital of the northern reaches of the Roman Empire here in Germany.  I'm here with my sis for a week.  I was here a few years ago and have always wanted to come back.

However, the remains of Hurricane Maria hit us last Thursday and caused a lot of damage in Germany.  I lost a few roof tiles and have some water damage in the garage and some holes in the awning.  But there's chaos in the train system.  We were supposed to simply catch a train to Bremen (of the 4 musicians Grimm Bros fame), then an ICE (super fast 300-kph train) down to Koblenz, then a local train to Trier, leaving at 11:32 am, arriving at 6:30 pm.  Instead, however, we caught a train to Osnabruck as the lines were down between Oldenburg and Bremen, only to find that the train we were supposed to pick up in Osnabruck (our original train from Bremen) wasn't running.  So they re-routed us to Munster, then Hamm (Hamelin in The Piped Piper), then Cologne, then Koblenz, then Trier.  But the train to Munster was running very late so we missed our train to Hamm, so they re-routed us AGAIN back up to Essen (which we'd passed through hours before on our first train), then to Cologne, then Koblenz, then Trier.  However, when we got to Cologne, our next train was running about 25 mins late - and they made us change platforms 4 times!!!!  Up and down so many stairs with our suitcases!!!! - so of course we missed our next connection.  So once again to the booking office - I think for my 5th or 6th time? - to organise the next connection.  Then we were told there'd be a problem with that train, as well, but it ran smoothly and the next one, as well, and we finally got to Trier 3 hours late, at 9:30 pm, having been on and off trains for 10 hours with barely a few mins break in between trains, often having to run for trains that were about to leave when we'd been re-routed, and having gone all the way down by the river in the dark, not seeing a thing, not even all the castles!!!!  We even ended up going in a huge circle at one point!

So you can imagine how I feel today!  We went down for breakfast as late as we could, taking our time, and my sister's having a rest now.  But we're heading out soon so I'd better go get ready.  Just checking things out around the hotel today - the Porta Nigra and the Tourist Office/Souvenir Shop just across the road, resting up so we can get going tomorrow.  We'll be checking out all the roman remains, of which there are many - like baths, an amphitheatre, etc, which are all very well preserved - as well as going to Luxembourg for a day, as it's only an hour away by train.

I sure hope you're all going well and those with sick kids are getting some good news!  I also hope you're all managing to play some fantastic games.  Play one for me as my sister's with me until the end of October, so I won't be able to play anything until I've recovered from her visit.
