Oxford...

I went to Oxford for a few days, a few days ago.

Absolutely wonderful place, with history oozing from every street and building [in the main, old part anyway].

Had some wonderful food and want to recommend The Mission or Giraffe for good mexican food, and Chutneys for good, tasty Indian food.

I didn't get to see Inspector Morse or Lewis, but I did visit a few museums and some bookshops.

The place I stayed was quirky and comfortable, with a nice homely feel to it...
...And right near the centre of interesting part of Oxford.

I took a few photographs, and I'll try to get at least one of them onto my picture gallery.

Old School RPG !!

I bought a copy of Shadowrun v1 nearly a month ago, but sent to someone else because of travel and work, but only just opened it.

My own copy was given away about 10 years ago to friend, and talk about old editions has cropped on websites now-and-then.

It's such a joy to open a book over 20 years old, that's so full of memories and inspiration.

Back then, cyberpunk was just starting out, and cyberpunk fiction was just making waves as a literary genre.

Lots of memories, and lots of inspiration - Mmmm
