For warmth and protection. Like penguins in the winter, but without the smart dress code or social graces. With females out having a nice meal whilst the men sit and shiver protecting the family. This country. |

Birthday greetings Shenguin!
I checked out RAF Flyingdales today.
Just 4 cans of Punk IPA left in the holiday stash for my last night. I have been told by PM that my drinking is excessive.

A full Xmas dinner with all the trimmings. In July. With forecasts of 30° temperatures. A power move if ever I saw one.

For Shenguin's birthday I got myself a nice present of Zelda loot. Still waiting for the amiibo to be delivered later this afternoon, will post a picture of the lot as soon as it arrives. If anyone wants me, I'll be playing Skyward Sword. (I've just remembered that today is also Frita's birthday, one of my ACNH neighbours. Is Shenguin Frita? If so, stop telling me all these stories about how you were an awkward teenager. Spoiler alert: I got you a coconut as a present because I'm cheap and I know it'll give me max friendship points.) I too bought Zelda and got a nice steelbook and keyring. I also got Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 for PS4 for £34 with lots of items dice etc. |

Games: Retro Bowl on the tablet. Fighting Fantasy on the tablet. Both tremendous, 4 stars each. Fighting Fantasy you say, they seem to have released some of the books again but not Legend Of Zagnor. If you like them the Lone Wolf app on android has all the books. And is free. |

Home made raspberry parfait. Outstanding scenes.
It's not quite 30c up the road... a chilly 21c

As promised, here's a picture of today's loot:  The amiibo came in an oversized box that's almost too nice to throw away:  And what better way to celebrate Shenguin's birthday than to get yourself a nice present. |

It seems that scubar is enjoying* his holiday and not occasionally posting provocative pictures back to the box, I'm not sure whether to applaud or condemn.  *or frantically trying to book a flight back before Monday. |

So #PlagueIsland is trending on Twitter, which is nice. Again. The case figures are concerning as we have not opened up fully. They also don't yet include the full consequences of Sunday. Unless the government is very lucky there is going to he a sharp spike in deaths. |

The worry is we'll be longing for the days when Matt Hancock was Health Secretary.

For warmth and protection. Herd immunity, innit. I'm not being conned into joining any herd; I know the reason is to see who fucks up first... My doors are double locked and I have got plenty of peanuts and green beans to pay the guy who's manning the security cameras ( Ozymandias Kane's cousin twice removed*) *Their shared genetic trait:, whatever you do, they keep keeps coming back |

Some good songs.
Quadrophonia, the KLF.
I like the Cher song much more than I did at the time.
