At the time of writing, it’s about a week to my trip and I have too much stuff to do for it still for me to have the mental space to write up 4 more blog posts for May. So I have to ask for a month long leave of absence from blogging. But IContinue reading “Leave of Absence from blogging in May”

GM attempt for Spelljammer, Gaming and Travel
I did mention GMing previously but the truth was that I basically just managed to run two single session games of the episodic nature before one of the players (the same person every time) had to quit for real life reasons. But now due to what I’ve come to call the Fiasco due to theContinue reading “GM attempt for Spelljammer, Gaming and Travel”
23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- France part 3
We had the hotel arrange a taxi to Lyon Part-Dieu (we were living at a hotel near Lyon Perrache, the other train station) at 5am but we got out early because the room was stuffy so we ended up leaving the hotel at 4:30am and when we arrived, Lyon Part-Dieu was actually not open yetContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- France part 3”
Moonlake’s Writing Space (and Routine)
The photo is not actually my writing space. Mine consists of only a single monitor and a keyboard and none of the other stuff but it is much too cluttered and I don’t want you to see how messy it is. But I chose the pic above because it is pretty much the standard setupContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Space (and Routine)”
23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- France part 2
We caught the Flix bus from Annecy to Lyon and though the seats were a bit cramped, we no longer had to worry about porting luggages etc. I felt like I would do more Flix bus intercity trips in the future if I could. Our 3 star hotel at Lyon was really cramped but itContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- France part 2”
23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- France part 1
The first leg of our French journey was spent at Annecy. I felt a little anxious about this because I had bought the Geneve to Annecy train tickets online (and stupidly bought a specific connection rather than a normal point to point) but when I remembered about the Lausanne-Geneve tickets the day before, it wasContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- France part 1”
23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- Switzerland part 3
The last leg of our journey in Switzerland was based in Lausanne. By that stage, I was feeling like all Swiss cities looked remarkably similar and had no appetite for photos (my enthusiasm was not high in the first place compared to Mum). We tried to visit the Sauvabelin Tower but after getting off atContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- Switzerland part 3”
New Experience: GMing
This is only peripherally writing related but due to the unexpected real life circumstances of one member of my gaming group, we are running one-shot games until December when he goes away. So for the very first time, I signed myself up for being the GM (game master) of a game using a premise thatContinue reading “New Experience: GMing”
23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- Switzerland part 2
Day 12 started our 3 days’ stay at Interlaken. The first day was spent at Interlaken and Brienz. We had breakfast at Cafe de Paris where we had two plain omelets. Since that was rather filling for us, we skipped lunch. There was really nothing at Interlaken (it was also raining that day) so weContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- Switzerland part 2”
23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- Switzerland part 1
Day 8, we finally left rainy Venice for Zurich. Not much to be said for the short flight but somehow we got completely turned around from the tram stop to our hotel, which was only 5 minutes away, and ended up lugging around two checked in luggages plus one hand carry and two backpacks forContinue reading “23 days Italy, Switzerland and France trip on trains- Switzerland part 1”
