What's going on?

Not a whole lot... I started building a massive castle out by my floating cottage. No pictures of the castle yet, but I did find an enormous hole in the ground that I've been adventuring in quite a bit whenever I'm working on it.

A creeper was waiting outside my train station for me. I couldn't run away fast enough to save my house but I made a quick temporary repair.

I built a portal into 'The Nether'. It's spooky as hell in there, and also kind of dangerous. I built another portal hoping it would take me close to my floating cottage, but no such luck. I wandered around for a while trying to find my way back home but eventually just took the portal back. Then I built a compass.

And then I finally finished my glass tower. by this point I was pretty sick of it and I felt it needed something... anything. I added a column of lava down the middle.
