I can remember Jordan doing the reply to complaints over no Mat POV's for that book with a "... He had a building fall on him in the last book. I didn't think anyone wanted to read of him laid in bed, bandaged, and doing the long route of broken bones healing not being able to really do anything."

One of my old university friends was visiting the city, so she invited a group to get together at what had been her favourite ****tail bar for the night. Booked a table. Agreed and turned up, and then we found out it was a Magic Mike tribute night, bottomless ****tails, and the table she had booked was in the splash zone...

Asked a friend what they wanted for their birthday. They gave me a look and did a "You've been getting into leather-working lately haven't you?".. and then asked if I could make them a customised collar. Not what I was expecting.

I would say it is much better in terms of look and setup. The stories getting a little more mashed up to change mediums from the book to something that can be filmed for tv without a 14year contract. It's done some things I like, some things I don't like. If you approach it from a "it's not the books directly, it's another version of the story several turns of the wheel different" it works quite nicely.

Well, to be fair, the absinthe had a kick... And of course, the wine had to be served in these:

Just got back home after a week in New Orleans. Quirky to go to an American city where you can casually walk pretty much everywhere. 😄 Had the fun of landing back on Saturday, and then being told that around 150 pieces of baggage had been left at Heathrow. So I had to do the adventure of hit Walmark for basic necessities and some spare clothes while waiting on my particular baggage to catch up to me. Survived the Vampire Speakeasy.

Looks like it'll make an interesting adaption for the October mood...
