Heeere fishy fishy...

Phew. A lot done today, but not in the form of quests - in the form of professions.

First off the bat, after killing Kurzen, I found a silver vein someplace nearby which got my mining up to 125 so I now know how to smelt iron (but haven't trained Expert Mining yet).

Then after doing some fishing in a school of fish in the river below, in Stranglethorn, and cooking the fish I caught (resulting in me maxing Cooking to 225) I decided to head up to SW. Cancelled one of my Silk auctions, used the silk to make enough bandages to cap my First Aid. Then I went to IF and spent at least an hour fishing there (trying to cap Fishing and fish up Old Ironjaw) and finally ended up back in STV, where I fished up the Find Fish book, and capped Fishing.

So then I went out up to Menethil, boat to Theramore - did the First Aid Triage quest. Swam out to Nat's Landing and got his Fishing quest; and after swimming back flew to Gadgetzan to pick up the Cooking quest, subsequently hearthing to BBay and flying to SW, where I once again logged out in the Blue Recluse.

Also, on the more social side of things. I've had at least two whispers (one today, one before) about where I got my [Tabard of the Hand], and while fishing in IF I was joined by an 80 and a 72, the latter of which started up a mild bit of RP, in which my only words (in response to a question something like 'any interesting fish') were 'nothing substantial' or something like that.

Whoo.

Unfortunately by the looks of the quests they'll be sitting in my log for some time, requiring visits to Tanaris, Feralas and the like. Get thee to a cheesery!
