Home Ownership, Socialising, Gaming

Settlement for our new home in Willsmere estate occurred less than half and hour ago. Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] seedy_girl for awesome legal liaison. The Mortgage Gallery did a fine job as well in securing the modest loan required. I have a set of photos [01 .. 09] of our new home, albeit with the former tenants furnishings. We have the joy of moving all our stuff (my god, how many books do we have?) later this week.

Because I am sometimes forgetful (or rather, I squeeze in an LJ 'blog in between of doing several other things), I neglected to mention was a delightful time I had with [livejournal.com profile] a_carnal_mink and friends a few weeks back. Apropos such events, I also had the delight of a visit from [personal profile] discordia13 and [livejournal.com profile] delicious_irony whom I hadn't seen for many years, and likewise a gathering at Polly's for Brendan E's birthday which included an ex-fiancée from some twenty years ago (yes, I do have a past, honest). It was all quite enjoyable.

On Sunday ran a game of GURPS Krononauts which involved taking the PCs back to pre-revolution Paris in order to prevent an 'incorrect' version of D'Alembert's Dream from being written; with influence from the dastardly Adam Weishaupt! This was the third game I ran this week; the other two being Fantasy Australia on Thursday (which combined a Call of Cthulhu adventure - Pride Of Yirrimburra - with an AD&D Dark Sun adventure - Arcane Shadows) and long-continuing RuneQuest game last Sunday and this Sunday coming.

Willmere is the name for the old Kew Asylum, next to the Yarra Bend Blvd.

Ah, I knew it had a ring of familiarity about it. That should be a nice area for you, and hopefully with some good city views as well.

Yes, the city views are quite wonderful. The setting sun goes over the city itself and the immediate area westwards is the Yarra Bend park, then over Fairfield golf course etc.

Damned if I can find any photos online with it tho'... Hmmm.. I must remedy that!
