Morning.
For the 3rd morning running I have had to evict a honeybee from my house.
I am starting to suspect it is the same one, on some kind of apian challenge.
I shall call him Oomerang.

Anyone seen Chumbles since April? He emailed me last night with a a photo of his new TV/monitor. No mention of being dug up. |

Hello one and all.
I'm a tad sweaty after my rucksack laden walk to the station.
It was reminiscent of 2 Para yomping towards Goose Green - but with house music pumping through my head and no fear of an Argie popping out a hedge with an Exocet.
Games you say. The Division 2. Wee side missions I've missed and hostage rescues etc. Nearly level 30 and a rabbit Warren of YouTube loadout/build videos to watch!

Nice pic admin, I even had the original lobby music in my head when I saw it.
Sunny here, lots of stuff going wrong at work though to keep me busy.
I have reached level 3 on R-Type Final 2, but things rapidly fall apart for me around the same area each time. Great game though, if a little over-priced.

Oomerang, bee gone! It's a mantra useful on a variety of occasions

Morning all.
Gamesblog: Outer Worlds, and I tried to sneak back into the Spacer’s Choice town in order to complete a quest: to return a book to a vicar.
Trouble is that my killing of the town leader meant that everyone was out for my blood, including the vicar.
After three tries of incredibly kinetic violence, I decided to leave them to stew in their own juices, and instead have taken off for another planet.
TVblog: Fixin’ Shop (“does this object make you think of your dead-dad?”), and Sewing Bee.
And Babylon 5. The Shadows are moving... Londo in full-blown “kill everyone” mood... and Kosh, poor Kosh...

Hello again
I went to an otter sanctuary recently, where I spent a morning feeding otters. It was an otter experience I had gifted to my preferred mammal.
To be honest I was scared, what with it being otters and me being a middle-aged man with longish hair and a balding head. My fear was that I would be talking to one of the staff there and they would say 'But you are Terry Nutkins, sir. You have always been Terry Nutkins.'

Moribund. I played Resident Evil 4 for a bit but there's a big hole where Boardwalk Empire used to be.

Fortnite
As I do not have much Shenguin was kind enough to let me get the final shots in on the last pair. And the middle shots, and the starting shots while he distracted them.
Actually his distraction technique (nearly) worked a treat. I almost lost concentration (through laughing) over his distressed squawking and asking what was going on in the middle of a fight.
It's very difficult to explain in real time what is happening when you stalk someone for the final shoot out.
Usually Shenguin is watching me play by this point so he can see how I mess up.
The duos win followed 3 solo wins in 4 games and completed a hat trick.
I am ranked pretty highly now for casual players. I have not entered the SERIOUS competitions. The players there are too good. No soft victories.
OTTM
I read 80 pages of a book about beer and drank two bottles of Leffe blonde
It was enjoyable. Both the book and the beer.
I also listened to disc 2 of Neil Young's Archives.* Technically I think it's disc 1 as the first disc is disc 0.I have ripped them from DVD though and have renumbered them so my pc will cope with them.
*Archives 1. I am planning to listen to Archives 1 & 2 in order.

The duos win followed 33 solo wins in 4 games and completed a hat trick. That's some win rate. Do you prepare your tax returns on the same basis? |

Morning,
I watched all of Jupiter ascending over last couple of nights. It was pretty average, but worth watching....just.
Nothing else to report.
Pasta leftovers for lunch today.

Oh wait actually,
Gameschat:
I did have an issue with my daughters Switch not switching on when the power button was pushed. Did some google research, a hard reset fixed the problem. Which is not the most interesting story BUT the feeling of relief when it started working again was so intense I would have to describe it as exhilarating.
Then she challenged me to some mariokart competition, we only got a few games in before the joycon batts ran out due to aforementioned problem.

Hello
Games - Total Warhammer 2, getting pumped up for Total Warhammer 3. I’m playing as a vampire this time, marching lots of skellingtons to war. The creepy organ in the soundtrack is a nice touch.

In a zoom chat with two pensioners about internet security and fake websites etc, my colleague told them about Argos.cum
I mean I don't think .cum is a top level domain *yet* - but I'm sure given time.

Well priced pleasure and a later profound sense of regret in a handy box I can pick up from Sainsbury? Where do I sign up? |

Also wouldn't a wine box do much the same job?

With two boxes of wine, you can avoid the profound sense of regret for longer.
