Gah. Alchemy in Scales, or at least, the rules dealing with same, are horrendously fiddly and involve far too many dice rolls. I hope that's one area which can be simplified.
On another note, I dislike writing climaxes. I'm never quite satisfied by them. There always seems to be something which could have been done better, or wasn't done enough, and in the end I just have to kick it out and be done with it. And probably find bits afterwards that I mutter about, and think, perhaps I should have fixed that, but will never be quite sure about.
My father has gone off to Leeds for a conference. Apparently he is staying in one of the university halls of residence, which would not in itself be bad, but it seems that their hot water supply is unreliable, resulting in cool shower and tepid shave. I made sympathetic noises via my mother, who was on the phone to him.
I will be at work tomorrow. Those celebrating Labor Day will not. You probably do not want to hear my thoughts on the subject. :)
