Autumnal
The pleasant weather has amazingly continued into the weekend, so this morning I ignored the housework to go for a walk. A few resulting photos of autumn-coloured prettiness:

Yetzirah and Sherlockfan asked me to explain Minecraft. A tall order, but I’ll see what I can do. So, Minecraft is a computer game that’s completely open-ended and what they call “sand-box” – i.e. you can play it any way you like – there’s no set aim or way of winning. Basically, you are placed…
