Things have been very good recently. Domas and I got to take a break at the same time and talk. A bunch of new people moved in yesterday, so I'm stuck making all the furniture except bed for their new rooms. That's a lot of work. Everybody is complaining about a lack of chairs in the dining room, so that's my job too.

Ha! Remember how Kivish was like "You're our broker," and I was like "...Okay?" Well some guy Îton Dùstikobok came here yesterday, and he's a merchant! I gave him a big hug, because now I don't have to do that job. All I need now is a mechanic to show up so I can devote all my time to gem setting like I'm used to.

These last eight months have been great. We have a grand dining hall and nice bedrooms. The water doesn't taste that good when we have to drink it, though. Inod and I got to have a chat while we were taking a break together. In this most recent wave of new guys, there was some lady who says she's really good at farming. That's really great news for me because I don't have to do it any more, and I can devote all my time to brewing.

My wife Zulban and son Tun and I arrived here just yesterday. I heard they were looking for a hunter. I myself am a dyer, but my dad and I used to hunt when I was a young dwarf, so I'm pretty competent with a crossbow. Apparently that's the most crossbow skill anyone in the whole fortress has, and there's not exactly a huge textile industry at the moment, so I figure I'd better make myself useful. It'll be like an adventure! A nice safe adventure... hehe...

It sounds like things are shaping up nicely for these guys. Slowly but surely. I think I need a chart or something though. For some reason, I can't keep their foreign-sounding names straight. I even have trouble remembering genders, because the females and males don't seem to have the sort of gender specific job assignments that I (being human and of an older generation) tend to expect. Still, I really enjoy these blog entries. I hope these guys succeed.
