Lu, how about emailing a big copy of their map to people so they can look more closely and then we just use the little ones for the progress posts.

Wow, Lu this looks awesome. I wondered if you can't change the colour on a box once it has been visited so we know where we have been already? Or is that aspect irrelevant?

I'm getting there with my book, just working LOADS right now. We have our two seal pups, stranded seal pups, the usual active reptiles due to summer, lots of visitors and of course a union who refuse to work weekends or public holidays due to government inability to get things done on time!! I get two weeks off soon though...

I got curious...

2014 totals are:

Lisa - 6491 + 6539 + 529 + 0 = 13559
Varla Fiona: 0 + 1639 + 3236 + 3995 = 8869
Jax: 3380 + 1064 + 3172 + 1167 = 8783
Crusader: 3958 + 2341 + 1003 + 0 = 7302
Claudia: 526 + 1380 + 500 + 2428 = 4834
Zuleka: 512 + 645 + 1958 + 1370 = 4485
Lauren: 1185 + 0 + 539 + 1318 = 3042
Lu: 1017 + 0 + 552 + 626 = 2195
Monique - 0 + 0 + 0 + 670 = 670
Marlese: 0 + 617 + 0 + 0 = 617
Liezel: 516 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 516
Barbara: 508 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 508

Well done Lisa, those first two quarters were epic indeed!!

My spot

Awesome!

Yay, looking forward to it!

Tried editing but the proxy won't let me. Will try fix it at home tonight.

Do both links work properly? It doesn't look right here but I know our proxy messes up things sometimes on our end. I shared both pics on Facebook as well...

Except I am not allowed to post pics. I can send links to current pics though...

Lexi's pup, the boy and born two weeks before Sammi's.

Lucky is the dad of both. My name suggestions are Puppy for the boy (because I want to see a big bull seal called Puppy) and Lumi for the girl (LUcky + samMI) or Sushi...

I always have a lot going on in December and this year we have two new born seals as well!!

Jan...

I also want to know...

Thanks, that makes more sense.

Started this morning. Two chapters down but now I have to go to work... Really enjoying it so far. For caught up in the world so quickly.

Have a question though, this is classed as epic fantasy, right? What does that mean? I always assumed the epic meant long, but the book isn't that long. Is it a long series or does the epic mean something else?

Theme Park: +2 = 7/25
