Well it is still nice to see you. I'm only here for a quick visit at the moment as well. I have a few more things to sort out before I am finally done for the day. Just having a quick rest and a drink, then back to work.

Thankyou and out:-)

Hi all *hugs and waves*

*Extra comforting hug* for l0rdtr3k and his family crisis.

Extra *hug of strength for DD and her long day*

Anyone in need of more?

Good evening. Enjoy your evening after this long working day *hug*

Im doning fine although i needed to reinstall my linux part of the dualboot as messed that one up seriously.

Hello :). How was your Easter? *hug*

Hello, Herr Tom! *big hug*

Thank you for the hug. It's been an 18 hour day, so I'm pretty exhausted. Owl gave me some big energy hugs, so that helped a lot. :-)

How are you, did you have a nice Easter weekend with your family?

Well I am going back to work to finish some things. See you all a little later!

*hugs and waves* Just arrived home. Swiss trains are really good, they are almost never late.

Meh, what a shitty situation. I don't know what to say. But please take an *extra big comforting hug* Hope things can be sorted out and will get better for you and your family!

Come back to visit soon, I'll even share my ice-cream with you ;-)

Good evening. (Also, good evening to Tom and D, just to smash some greetings together for a sec.)

Glad to hear you got back safely. =)

Thanks :-) So how are you doing today?

Thanks for asking I've had a very nice Easter. Had/have a real sore throat (and almost no voice) but it's already on the way of getting better.

First highlight was of course hunting down the presents with the kids. Fortunately the weather smiled upon us, so we could go searching in the garden of my sister-in-law with her kids. Before the next snow set in.

Second highlight was yesterday morning. We (meaning my mother-in-law, my wife, me and (for the first time) my niece (10) went fetching "Easter water". It's a tradition that predates christian times: With the first twilight you go and fetch water from a local spring. The important things are to remain completely silent all the way there and back, not to talk a word, and you have to be back and close the door behind you before the first ray of sunlight crosses the horizon. Also you should wash face, hand and feet at the spring (which I did). The water is said to have life-prologing and healing properties.

So we got up at 4:45 am (7:26 was officially sunrise), went by car to the foot of mount Kottmar (local highest hill) and then on foot through the forest to the source of the Spree river. The rocks surrounding the spring where very slippery (frozen over) and the woods were still wintery. The view when we came from the mountain in the progressively blooming dawn was absolutely spectacular.
We were back at 7:20. I have done this last year, and it was as magical as I remembered. Also - make of it what you will - I had a good three sips directly from the spring and my aching throat (that felt like a bad case of angina when I had gotten up) was almost gone for good during yesterday and has not been that bad today.

Good evening *hug*. I wish i could say that about the Deutsche Bahn ;).

The "Easter Water" tradtion sounds really awesome. I've never heard of it unitl now. :).

Evening all! :)

I see some of you aren't feeling great, I hope things get better for those who are struggling.

Had a good night tonight. Still tired but at least we don't have much to do tomorrow so we can rest :)

And I've had an idea for a story... might have to try and write something before I over think it.

Hi *waves*

Good luck writing it down. I know the "blank page" syndrome...

Oh yeah. That is always awfull. In all the years I used it, I can count the number of times the ICE was on time on one hand ;-)

Good evening *wave* Sounds interesting with your story, consider sharing it if you write it down :-)

Not doing too badly here.

Procrastinating on some housework, started playing Pillars of Eternity after deciding on a large blue guy who kills people with his mind, (good to have that sliver of indecisiveness out of the way; it's quite good so far but I have no idea why the system requirements are so high), renewed some library books.

Let it never be said that I don't lead the most exciting life humanly possible.

How are you feeling post-chocolate mousse overdose?

Yeah, my problem is generally that I think of something and try to make it too grand or epic and end up making it too difficult to write or spoiling the original concept.
Same with games really... but I quite like this idea so I think it might work and would rather not ruin it.. XD
