Werewolves
Newburyport

It rained for two days straight.  My birthday came and went and we celebrated by going for Japanese with Lin Clark who is now taken up position in Galway as a replacement for Steph.  Nothing much to report and so no major blog entries. 

We had a few friends over for a game of Werewolves - Oshani, Mithushi, Varuni, & Rukshan.  I made a pumpking curry for the first time - and learnt how to make watalappan as well.  More pictures are on flickr.
