It’s been school holidays recently, and I took a week off, just to hang out with the boys. They did a drama course in the mornings, but the rest of the time we lazed around the house not doing very much. Perfect blogging time, you would think, but actually not. I became utterly addicted to a computer game we’ve been playing together – Rise of Nations. You get a nation of your own, and guide it through doing research and trading from the stone (ish) age to the information age (i.e. now). You win either by conquering all the other nations, or building wonders.
We have networked it, in our house, so that we each have a computer, and a nation of our own, and play cooperatively. Lots of fun, and addictive enough so that I’ve been playing against the computer in the evenings. My google reader feed is out of control, and I haven’t written a blog post for three weeks! I’m sure I’ll be back, once the excitement has worn off, but in the meantime – posting might be lighter than it has been.
How old are your boys?
