Why are you people not watching the funeral with the rest of The Nation? It would take a nation of millions to make me. |

Just your dignity. No biggie. |

Finally got around to killing the first boss in Valheim and obtained the pickaxe recipe.
I have now built a moat around my house.

Glad I'm not the only one who's a) not been watching the royal funeral, and b) been playing video games instead. I was sick and tired of always playing Xenoblade Chronicles late at night, so I played it all afternoon for a change. I played it when it was time to have lunch. I played it until I was able to call lunch dinner. I want to play it now. What a game. When I finally had lunch/dinner, I made these Korean crab stick omelettes and had them with kimchi and beer. All the stars. |

4 types of curry plus pakora & naan bread. Very full and some to freeze.
Went to the park today in a nearby village. Wasn't too busy and the child had lots of flying fox action.
Humming and hawing over beer or red wine this evening.
Some games probably and more Tin Star.

Reading a book featuring Felice Landry, if the author predicted the chatterbox when he wrote it and did nothing to prevent this future I'd hate to think what happens in books 2 and 3.
No funeral, did the silence bit, no food and made a wardrobe.
DIY should be ore like gardening, find the biggest bladed tool and start hacking not this carefully screwing things malarkey.

I've not read The Many Coloured Land. I have considered buying it.
Though i was firmly under the impression Julian May was aman. I'd always assumed she was a posh English man born pre WW2. I got at least one detail right.
Not a bad hit rate.

Probably related to the cricketer Peter May.
Though not to Theresa May or her husband.

Julian Clare May (July 10, 1931 – October 17, 2017) was an American science fiction, fantasy, horror, science and children's writer who also used several literary pseudonyms. She was best known for her Saga of Pliocene Exile (Saga of the Exiles in the United Kingdom) and Galactic Milieu Series books. Jus' sayin' peace (FYI - that took me 15 seconds). |

Hello.
TV. Tin Star. Tim Roth has gone radge. Top TV.
Games. Wee bit of The Division 2, couple of rounds of BOPS MP where I was slapped repeatedly. Later on I started Days Gone. Just got back to their base and got a crossbow.
Best get on with the hoovering.
Didn't do it yesterday out of respect for Prince Phillip.

Hullo.
Been out for a spin to the Mother-in-Law's gaff. Saw the JWs on the return trip heading the other way towards Salcombe. The net tightens...
Also pumped up the rear tyres. *puffs chest out*

Morning Chazzas!
Games - I downloaded PUBG yesterday to give that a quick go, it was some kind of volcano map. I landed in a little villagelet and there seemed to be someone else parachuting down there too. Grabbed a gun and readied for the inevitable showdown. On further inspection I couldn’t find anyone, so I hopped on a motorbike. Rode towards civilisation only to suddenly start taking damage, my bike slowed, the tires melted off, and I died in some lava. 4 stars.
Also tried “Enlisted”, a free to play ww2 shooter. I seemed to be mostly playing against bots, and was quickly taken out by B1gDave2010. The game was moribund, but it did leave me wanting to know more about B1gDave2010. What makes him tick? Does he have any hobbies? Is he a bridge painter made redundant by bridge collapse in the former Soviet Union? Or a barista in a hip central London coffee boutique who has a side job as a dog walker? Why is the year 2010 significant to him? The developers should have to write character profiles explaining all of this when they make bots.

Morning.
I didn't get much sleep because I was again playing Xenoblade Chronicles. I have reached Chapter 5 and completely mapped the Bionis' leg, mainly by giving all super strong enemies a wide berth. I have also cleared all side quests for now, although there's still some mopping up to do back in Colony 9. Yes, the Mechon are likely to eat some people as they get hungry, but there's a little boy whose toy needs fixing, okay? It's the only thing that reminds him of his parents who got eaten by Mechon. Priorities!
I rescued that little shit Batubatu, although it took me some time to understand how to get to his location. I should have just jumped off the higher ledge, but I was afraid of fall damage. So instead I tried going round and sneaking past the high level enemies patrolling the area. This is how instead of fall damage I took Sloth Gogol damage as one of them spotted my party and applied the full force of its 900 pounds weight. Miraculously it worked on my second try, although in hindsight it was a pretty shit strategy.
My sneaking skills stood me in good stead when I mapped the entire Wind Cave. Eventually I literally saw light at the end of the tunnel and stepped into the open, breathing a sigh of relief. For a few moments I stood there, taking in the majestic view.
Then the Last Rhogul swooped down on me and killed me dead in under 3 seconds.
If that murderous bird wasn't an endangered species before it certainly is now. I will get my revenge! And since revenge is a dish best served cold I will have to gain an additional 40 to 50 levels before this becomes feasible. By which time it will definitely be stone cold.
(It also did exactly the same thing at a different location.)
Having learnt from these experiences, I tiptoed around the Wind Cave once more and crept up behind another pair of monstrous birds, just so that I could get the items that that little shit Batubatu had asked for.
I'm good at this game.
