All good. No fishy explosions. I was saved from running through the village screaming ew ew EW!! lol
I don't know if you'd ever rent the dairy/light house but I always thought that would make a great little lake-side home. Good potential for story there too. It's wonderfully worn and surprisingly roomy.
Tiamat, I'm curious about what you said. Antiquity uses items from both systems? In what ways? Is there a market where items from both systems are sold?
Antiquity makes some use of G&S although we also have an in-house trading system.
I like the idea of our two groups purchasing from each other's market areas. I also like the idea of our group interacting with roleplay. One thing that is a bit tricky (and you might check with the Magritte admins on this), as I understand it, non Magritte residents are OOC (out of character) visitors and are asked not to interact directly. In fact the OOC tag we are asked to wear says communication in one-on-one IMs only. Arranged market days there would be hard to do unless we set up a conference chat and still, I'd want to be sure the Magritte admins were ok with the idea. Never the less, it would be nice to bring business back and forth among the groups.
I feel I can finally breath a sigh of relief now that the season of gray spooks and dark creeping shadows recedes, and the warm cheerful colors of autumn settle in. How nice to once again hear only the clang of the forge and the baa-ing of the goats. Back to the hustle of bustle of Hamlet business.
The printer has delivered the new D'Qat Sea View Farm crate labels, and the carpenter is delivering our crates. We look forward to getting our products to market!
I heard the house of Rezzonico is interested in interacting with our group in some way. Sounds great! That would be fun if that works out.
I currently am interested in continuing with:
I wouldn't mind doing some pottery.
I am growing:
Doesn't hurt to say, "Welcome back! Good to see you around again!" , one more time. 
Oh good heavens. How dreadful! I am very relieved this unpleasant turn occurred after our stay. I do hope you will all be safe. I must confess concern however, that occasionally I hear what sounds like murmurs near my farm. Hollow, distant sounds I have tried to ignore. You don't suppose anything has ... perhaps ... followed us ... to France. Oh dear! I must speak to Ardrhys ...
It's even more so now, a lovely village through which to take a walk or enjoy a ride. Madame D'Qat shall be quite fit wandering over hills, and along the coast. It's looking fantastic Duchess!
So exciting! Every day is a new little adventure, seeing what's happening today.
