How long is the bloody endgame?!

It's about 4 hours (in-game) since I hit the point of no return, and I'm still not at the final battle! Of course, I am poking into every nook and cranny looking for shinies, which is making it all last a bit longer than it strictly needs to... There have been some tears already, and some moments of light relief. Couple of gut-punches. I wonder how it plays out if you didn't do all the side stuff? Or only some of it?

A year ago, I was also having a very long week. Maybe it's something to do with the last week of January? I was looking forward to 'The Screwtape Letters' and enjoying 'Emma' - which I realise means Emma  and MP are the wrong way round on my bookshelf :O *scurries off to put that right*

Today was mostly spent cleaning and gaming - as every good Saturday should be! And I think I've wrangled tomorrow's talk into some kind of shape. I had it all planned out in my mind but when I came to write it down some of it got lost. But I've got some sort of conclusion to it, so we'll see how it goes. I'm going to run through it once more before bed.

And that really is about it.
