This Team Sky thing is obvious bullshit.
I have severe asthma, rushed to hospital a couple of times. Not once was I injected with a steroid.
Wiggins has sniffles, gets an injection before competition.
Fuck off. Two puffs of inhaler 30 mins before exercise. Its basic.

And now I'm with shenguin. How romantic. Camera nerds are well suited to each other. I didn't even get round yesterday to asking about the joys of range finder cameras and asking how old a Boots branded film must be. |

Greetings, camera nerds. Remember, one day that old film is probably going to be worth a lot of money. Don't get me started on nesting birds. Too late, you already have. Since we live (according to the estate agents) on a "popular, tree lined road", we have a tree in front of our house. There was also an ancient street light. For many years an owl lived in that tree. We could hear it hooting at night. All was well. Then, some years ago, the council decided to improve streetlighting and put in an outsized lamppost with a very bright light. The owl didn't like it and left. Instead, a gaggle of magpies started occupying the tree. Their main feature is shitting without inhibitions on the pavement below, so that at one point we had a puddle of poo that passers by kept slipping on. But they also shit on our car, which we can only park under that tree. Theoretically we have to wash the car every day because of this; it's always covered in bird mess in the morning. In reality we just do it once a week and otherwise put up with a shitty car. There was much derision when Bristol Council put spikes on trees to curb this phenomenon amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/dec/19/bird-spikes-in-bristol-trees-to-protect-cars-cause-dismay, but I wish our council would provide anti-bird measures. |

Step 1: Destroy new street lamp with pellet gun or air rifle
Step 2: Place dead bird meat in offending tree to attract local owls
Step 3: Put spiky collar around base of tree to deter rats and cats

Mr Enemy is longing for his South African boyhood rifle that he used to shoot monkeys with (at the post office they payed money for every monkey tail, as they were considered pests in the sugar plantations; other boys were cheating by chopping the tails into pieces, but he was a good Catholic boy and cut the tail off at the bumhole). |

the topic of birds and BB guns reminds me of my dad a few years back who was found lurking in the upstairs bedroom with a high powered airgun. He'd become obsessed with a magpie which he said had a large growth on its neck. The logic followed that as magpies like shiny things it must have swallowed a gold ring.
He spent several days there but didn't manage to win that gold ring.

The Vito B isn't a rangefinder, but I do have a Voigtlander Bessa R2 that most definitely is. I'll see if I still have the film box, it may have an expiry date on it. I'd previously experimented with a newer expired roll that was only six years out of date. Disappointingly it didn't produce any funky results. |

Frustrated by his lack of Magpie success, Scamander's dad has doubled down.
He's taken to lurking around outside the Endocrinology department at the local hospital attacking goiter sufferers with one of Scam's swords.

Alas, I let the battery of my Kindle die a long time ago. Sometime I will replace it. I'm the worst. I hope that your plumber wasn't working on the basis of this book when fixing the pipe on Sunday evening. (Btw, was he called Danny? As in "the pipes, the pipes are calling"?) I notice they also have free download for Grimm's Fairy Tales. However, some time ago we bought www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Fairy-Tales-Brothers-Grimm/dp/0691160597. It's an English translation of the first edition, and... well, it's not Disney as we know it. |

Just needs two words really. GIT GUD. Serious advice below: 1) it's hard as fuck 2) hunters axe is probably the best 3) don't run to get blood echoes. You'll die. 4) don't spend echoes on equipment. Upgrades only. 5) parry is an important skill to learn early on. DISCLAIMER: I haven't completed it, I think I'm about halfway through and it's got easier. It's a truly fantastic game, but it is literally exhausting. The concentration needed is huge. |

I'd forgotten Bloodborne was available on PS+ from today. I'll download it overnight and give it a go tomorrow.
I know I'll die often...
In other news, my football team is playing Sheep's football team tonight.
EDIT: Opta stats:
Tony Pulis has faced Birmingham four times in the league at St Andrew’s in his managerial career - and has never seen any of his sides score.
Oh...

GIT GUD is always sound advice. Dinner: Breaded fish (you people, this plaice), potatoes, samphire, quaffable white wine. I notice I haven't regaled you with my Skyrim adventures in a while. Thanks to my Zelda amiibo collection I'm sporting the Champion's Tunic, the Hylian Shield and the Master Sword (I know that one can also get them in the game, but it's all coming in useful now). I've purchased and fully furnished my house in Whiterun and have adopted Lucia, so that I wake up well rested and filled with motherly love. Lucia is a good girl who goes to bed in time and doesn't cause any trouble. Lydia, however, is making herself a bit too much at home: Here she sits at the table in my bedroom helping herself to my snacks. You can see from the expression on my face that I'm going to feed her to the wolves if she keeps doing this. The house is nice, but I spent at least half an hour trying to get a bowl and two cups back on a dresser in the kitchen after I knocked them over. Eventually I gave up and loaded an earlier save file. Problem solved, but why do the "move" controls have to be so completely worthless? Finally, the only glitches I've encountered so far are NPCs sliding down stairs while talking to me, which is pretty entertaining. But there's NPCs, and then there's Gwilin. It's true, because of the bears there's no wood to be chopped, but that doesn't dampen his enthusiasm:

I'm not surprised. Maybe if you turned the light on she'd realise it's your bedroom and your snacks.

Lydia knows very well that this is my bedroom because she's just barged in as I was waking up. Next time I'll tell her to wait and leave her somewhere outside instead of putting her at ease. |
