It was a hot afternoon

Crumbs, look at the time! Nearly bedtime and I haven't thought of anything to blog about. At least it's cooler now than it was during the day, which makes thinking more of a possiblity. It was absolutely steaming at work - the poor lads upstairs were dripping with sweat - even having the windows open and a fan blowing couldn't counteract the heat generated by all the computers. Every so often they'd come downstairs with the latest Blue Peter 'Watch Venus traverse the Sun without destroying your retinas' gadget, involving a lavatory roll, masking tape and magnifying glass. It worked reasonably well, and we saw the planet, but staring at magnified light on clean white paper meant that everyone had a large black spot blanking out their vision for some minutes afterwards.

They're enormously thrilled because their game has passed all its final checks and is now in production, to be launched on June 18th. So the bosses are treating everyone to lunch (probably at the new Thai restaurant) and the rest of that day off. Our games have also been taken, and all the content must be completed by the end of July. So we're busy busy busy!

CNPS: 43 at last! Hurrah!
