Scrabbling weekend
Jul. 25th, 2010 05:21 pmI played lots of Scrabble this weekend ;-) My fellow Scrabble fanatic, Kylie, came over to my place on Saturday and we played Super Scrabble for six hours. The board is twice the size and there's twice the tiles, hence the marathon duration. She won. Then I had to visit my mother on Sunday, which also means Scrabble, and she thrashed me again, which is 10 out of 10 for the last run of games. I'm not a bad player, but unfortunately for me, both my opponents were very good players.
Kylie also came over to meet my rats, who played up to her in their usual "we-never-get-fed-here!" ways. I love seeing the reaction of someone who has never met rats, i.e the pet variety and finds out how much they love attention. There's also the "What are those at the back? Are those his balls?" questions.
This was an expensive weekend and not because of my spendthrift habits. Power bill AND broadband bill in together and also the rent. I'd planned for one of my rats to get neutered next Friday, since he's sometimes aggressive towards his room-mates, but he may escape the snip for purely financial reasons! Also he's been behaving better the last few days, almost as though he suspects something.
All this means I'll probably have to have a room-mate at Aussiecon; the expense of that hotel has been preying on my mind. I've got a room booked at the Hilton.
