Reading Jason Dyer's recent blog posts playing interactive fiction text adventure game Fairytale (1982). And my mind is blown at the start, learning that this game is based on Enid Blyton's Faraway Tree series of books. Which I adored when I was very young.

I say "based on", but Enid Blyton's books are only part of the inspiration for the game. But the game *does* have her Faraway Tree, and Moonface, Saucepan Man and the Slippery Slip. No Silky though, or Dame Slap.

Resuming my read of Wheel of Time book 10. Still enjoying the book series, though I've developed a very specific way of reading it, and still expect far too many characters/infodump from Robert Jordan early on! Currently pleased to see two characters again, and trying to remember prior plot for them!

This book is very much in the doldrums stage of the series, so if I can get through here I'm confident I'll get to the end. Making good progress anyway.
