*Limited Time Special!*
For the 'regulars' of this thread ONLY, I have the following Steam keys that I don't need:

Detective Grimoire
Broken Sword 1: Shadow of the Templars - The Director's Cut
Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror
The Whispered World Special Edition
A Golden Wake
Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller: GOTY
Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse

Let me know and I'll PM you the link. :-)

Not in for a game, I just wanted to recommand the Broken Sword games to anyone who likes Adventures and has not played them yet. Good solid adventures.

None for me, thank you (I'm a DRM-Free only girl). But +1 and a *hug* for the generosity.

I got that bundle as well, well only the lower tear. I was curious to see what Detective Grimoire was like. I already own the other games on GOG, except for A Golden Wake, which doesn't really appeal to me.

Edit: And as Moon said, the first two Broken Sword games are highly recommended. The first game is set in France, so you might see Owl make a cameo. :-)

Usually can start planting cool weather crops in early March, warm weather crops in mid May.
July and August get quite hot.
Hard to say lately though, last year was a mixed up mess. :/

We are getting mixed up weather as well. We keep getting a lot of flooding, which as you can imagine, is disastrous to the crops. But fingers crossed it won't be a problem this year. I enjoy spring and summer, but I am not a big fan of the heat, luckily we don't get too hot over here. But I do enjoy a nice stroll in the countryside in the spring and summer, enjoying all the animals and the beautiful sights. Plus I get to wear some pretty summer dresses, which is a nice change from how I dress for work. :-)

Thanks and +1. But I'm almost Steam-free. And I have too many games already.

Good day, everyone.


Sounds like you could use some of the soup I made.

Thanks for the +1, most of my Steam stuff is from bundles or their silly sales where things are 79 cents or so.
And a few things simply not available elsewhere. ;)
What kind ya got? Soup is a good thing in the cold. ;)

Flooding tends to be our worst weather. We don't get too much snow, and we don't get too much heat, but we definitely get a lot of rain. Some parts are more at risk than others, but it can be a horrible time. For the last decade or so we have been getting flooding most years, but luckily only a few years have been really bad. I know one city a few years ago had over 10,000 families effected by the flooding in their region.

I am sorry to hear you lost everything in the flood, and that all those people had to suffer. I have never had to suffer that, thankfully. Where we are the worst we seem to get is surface flooding that drowned the crops, but I know else where in England they get it a lot worse, especially if a river burst its banks. We have lost a few animals due to flooding but that is about it (other than vital crops).

Have a kiss and a big hug for having to go through it all. *kiss and a big cuddle*

Good day Hyper! What kind of soup did you make?

Good day, Hyper!

How are you today? How is your friend doing? I hope she is recovering well?

Thanks but I weathered it fairly well, I lost a lot of money and 'stuff', neither of which I consider very important.
I loaded my truck with my dog and cat, a few clothes and a laptop. Good to go. It was the relationship that I was stupid enough to get into afterwards that really kicked my ass, I'll take a bunch of water anytime. :-)

Geez, now I'm whining. I'll stop. ;)

Good day, good day!


A Greek one - meatball soup with an egg and lemon broth base; depending on your tastes, you might need to add a bit of salt, pepper and lemon; I needed all three.


A bit cold (hence the soup), and tired, but ok overall.

My friend's been more or less the same, which means that, all things considered, she's doing fairly well.

How' s your mother doing?

That sounds tasty! Does is have a special name so that I can look up a recipe?
