Damned if you do, part ii

This is where you're damned if you have a father (or father-in-law) who is a complete techno-phobe and damned if you have a father who is a techno-phile. One might even go so far as to say my father is an early adopter. He should have known better, but he installed Windows 8 yesterday. It wiped most of the stuff from his hard drive. Uninstalled all his programs, cleaned out his inbox and so on. He lost 600 Gb of stuff.  If you're thinking of getting it, maybe back-up to an external place first....

Yesterday I took the kids to the Innilgard 30th Anniversary Foundation Picnic. They had a fairly good time I think, especially Ashwyn, who was into everything. I spent an awful lot of time telling him to leave the harp alone, leave that coronet alone, leave those swords alone, come out of that bag, go put that goblet back, no really put that sword down....

Also Erin seems to have given half the house a cold that she brought back from camp.

And in celebration of Halloween - disgusting cakes - don't look if you have a weak stomach (no, really)

30 years of Innilgard? That's amazing. I thought the barony was older than that, though! Still, bloody awesome milestone.

It became a barony in 1986, but was a shire for four years before that.

It's also the third oldest SCA group in Australia. Rowany (Sydney) and Aneala (Perth) got started earlier, but not much.

There were disappointingly few old fogies there. It would have been nice to see some of the old crowd.
