Trick or treat

Got a bit sidetracked by Hallowe'en achievements. Iolanthe and MadMargaret both now have all the ones they can reasonably get, but this took much longer than it should have, because when Iolanthe was going round Northrend visiting candy buckets, I got sucked into my usual insanity of only using flight paths she hadn't used before, so I could complete my set of timings. I was strict with myself when MadMargaret did it, at least, and went more or less directly from place to place, but it still took ages.

I'm quite annoyed that I only realised yesterday that if I'd collected 150 treats I could get a new pet cat - I'm not that far off, but probably too far to get that many by Monday. If I'd realised earlier, I could quite easily have done a quest or two each day. Oh well.

Apart from that, it's mainly been archaeology. Iolanthe now has all the archaeology achievements except the one where she has to get 20 rare artefacts (I think she has 13). That one may take a while, because the same (common) ones keep popping up. Spent ages in Northrend the other day because I wanted to complete my Nerubian thingy and Vrykul sites kept spawning. And don't get me started on wanting Tol'vir but being stuck with Night Elf!

The other thing I've been doing is working towards Iolanthe's Winterspring mount. MadMargaret got the Horde equivalent (the raptor from Un'Goro) ages ago, but I'd forgotten about the Winterspring one until Iolanthe was questing there. She's nearly finished - she needs 20 hairs and I think she has 19.

My current focus has just shifted from Iolanthe's archaeology to MadMargaret's low-level questing - she's just started Thousand Needles and is doing stuff on the Speedbarge.
