It's a shiny cow cos it's just come back from Cow Heaven for 60 seconds.
And I don't remember seeing a red sword yet.
Or maybe I have and I've just sold them all.



Now, what did I say the other day?

I do get worried about running over any MULES...

Oops. Hit one with the bike.
I was trying to retrieve one of those Half-Life/Portal cubes...

...and after kicking everyone to sleep I was scooting through the camp on that bike and... Well, it's hard to see them lying there in the long grass.
Thankfully he didn't die. I just used a wheel to ...erm... move him to a more comfortable sleeping position.

Oh, and my Skyrim save folder is only 560MB.
 

This particular red sword is from Solstheim, though I'm sure I've seen others with at least red glowy enchantments on them...

I've seen, and even made, the magic red glowy ones. My favourite Ebony Blade turns everything red for a moment when I hack at people.
Last night I enchanted a Daedric axe that I recently picked up. I was a bit disappointed/surprised that its damage wasn't more than my honed Ebony Axe so I gave it a bit of extra shock damage and now it's called the Axe Of Doomed Dreams.

I'm almost at Riften again now. I just have a little side quest at a nearby ruin and then I'll be ready to return and ditch Mjoll.

PS. For some reason autocorrect wanted to change "side quest" to "wildebeest".
Glad I spotted that before posting.

a little wildebeest in a nearby ruin...

 Holy cow!

Hmm, follow that plane in this plane. With my flying skills I'm sure this is going to end well.

 

Well, to be fair, it DID end well... eventually... after several attempts.

I then went off to the other game and built two more roads thanks to my ongoing ceramic deliveries. And I made sure my name was on them by urinating off the side. I fell off the edge too after zipping everything back inside.
And seeing as I was in the mood for spraying stuff around I stood on a high rock overlooking one of those MULE camps and sent a stream their way too.
Mark the territory!
Assert dominance!
And now flush.

I kind of feel like you're oversharing, sometimes, when talking about that particular game...

I've been trying to tidy up a bit around Severin Manor today. I'm happy to say the corpses were no longer there when I returned from my (rather exhausting) black book excursion.  tried out some of the codes Val's been posting and found there are some "new" bits of what I call "scruffy" furniture, most notable a desk I haven't seen on the mainland. Not sure I've seen it on Solstheim either, yet but anyway, I also tried the lanterns and the "lantern glows" that judging by their icons in Val's image should be light sources but they just appear as more lanterns... 

I tidied up my piles of arms and armour (which was starting to look like a mountain of dismembered body parts) and stuffed it all in a couple of chests. I discovered I had Droops, which one can apparently get from those overgrown grasshoppers. And I haven't fought any of those today, which means that I fought all of the stuff I DID fight today, at below capacity. Well, I survived. And I decided to spruce up the outside area of my newest house... Not that I got very far (and you can't see the ash pits in the image, but I used them as planters). I tried putting jazbay grapes at the foot of the big "plants", but they move so much they make me seasick. Besides, I need something more bushy, I think. Maybe I'll try some of those red (autumn) ferns I got in a previous image from Val...  

 

 

Yeah, I was confused by the lantern glow thing. From their appearance in the Creation Kit preview window the only difference I noted was an animated flicker to the light inside.

Oh. I didn't even notice that.
