Welsh Nikki’s Weblog

Just a quick update – spent this weekend at my friend’s daughter’s christening. It was great because I got to see all my university friends again. I saw most of them at new year’s eve, but there was one guy there who I had lost touch with since I left university. I made sure to exchange email addresses so we don’t loose touch again.

It was too far to travel down in one day, so we spent Saturday night at a Premiere Inn. My son was impressed by the food.

Another reunion back at work on Monday. A couple of the guys have been stuck in one of our other offices for what seems like ages, so it was great to have them back again.

My dragons are doing really well for themselves. All three of my original eggs are now adults.

I found out about these from emerald over on dgeek. They start out as eggs, but if enough people view them they turn into baby dragons, then adults. You can also breed your own.

If you want one of your own, you have to go to the dragon cave site http://dragcave.net. You have to register first, then you can click on eggs to pick them up. There is also a forum where you can find out about how to care for your egg.

First of all, apologies to everyone who’s wondering where I’ve been over Christmas, although by now you’re probably all used to me going MIA and didn’t even notice!

The holidays were the usual, last minute present shopping, Christmas eve and Christmas day spent with my family, Dr Who special on the telly. My son got lots of money this year, and spent most of it in the Boxing day sales. We are finally the owners of our own copy of Guitar Hero. Much more fun than shooting stuff.

New year’s eve is always a big deal for me, because it’s when I catch up with all my old friends from University. This year the party was being hosted by a friend in South Wales and we ended up spending new year’s day on the beach. It was really cold.

I managed to get some writing done over Christmas. I have mostly finished Solaris, although the chapters still have corrections to do. There’s also a couple of new projects that might actually get finished. (Even my beta hasn’t seen everything yet)

Last week I got hit by a really nasty cold bug thing. I’m back at work now, but it’s all a bit nuts there at the moment. Still, it pays the bills.

Anyway, need to try and get my fanfic head back on over the weekend, as I’ve got too many unfinished projects lying around.
