Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
I'd originally intended to follow up my Hawaiian Adventure entry a lot sooner, but the past couple of weeks have been... hectic. I'm going to London 2 days a week now, so the 12 hour commute on top of my work does mean I don't have as much free time as I'd like. Never mind, I'm sure it'll settle down.
