Winter is coming...

Today started slowly with a few aches following on from our march yesterday. Thankfully it didn't take too long for me to get back to normal.

Breakfast, Grimm and Haven got us set for our planned afternoon of fun.

Jane and Ian came round and we cracked out Sam's new Game Of Thrones board game. I have to admit that I wasn't that fussed about playing it but that soon changed once things were underway. Turns out it was great fun to play. Although there were some points where we have to clarify the rules it is a simple game to play with the balance of power swinging at certain points.

Alliances were made and unmade. Power shifted from tine to time and the Wildlings attacked us often! We all learned little things to take forward for future games which will just make it even more interesting to play.

I was defending the north as the Starks, Jamie was Lannister, Iain was Greyjoy and Toni was Tyrell. Sam managed to squeeze out a Bararheon win in the final round by double crossing Tyrell.

The only downside of the weekend was our boiler almost giving up the ghost. This left us having to spend Sunday with no hot water and temperamental central heating. Engineer is coming out tomorrow so hopefully that can be sorted easily as the boiler is making so very strange noises and has bugger all pressure.
