I've been playing games*. I'm also wondering how low the charge should get before I recharge it? It's down to 50% after 10 days...

I'm going to sleep - I have chores tomorrow...

*looks like victory 89 is imminent in Neptune's Pride 2

Hurrah!

hi

I didn’t see the Eurovision Song Contest last night. I was consuming some wine and cheese in Liverpool. We got back to our hotel to see the votes coming in, and I fell asleep pretty quickly.

Grooooo…..

So is the Eurovision going to be in Chernobyl, Mariupol or somewhere a bit safer and less ruined?

I've seen someone suggesting the NEC.

Apparently Zelenskiy has already said that it will be held in Mariupol. Maybe a bit optimistic, but I guess he's got to look on the bright side.

In the past Kyiv has hosted Eurovision twice, might be more realistic, although who the hell knows, what with Russia getting shirty with Finland over joining NATO.

I'm still waiting for Mrs T to get out of bed so I can blat about on Forza. I mean, how selfish can you get?

Oh.

A bombed out steelworks sounds like a good venue.

Hello.
I have said I'll play Roblox this afternoon. It's just so shite it annoys. Have said an hour tops as I need to make dinner.

Yesterday was the child's birthday and part of that was going to McDonalds with her pals. To be fair it's only the third time she's ever been - but of course the child of the BBC radio producer had never been before, or the child of the vegetarian teacher who goes running. Yes, yes, we're the instigators of junk food to your child. Marvellous.

Played a couple of rounds of fortnite no build this morning. The tank seems a a tad OP. Does the rocket launcher damage it?

I am so very tired - I've been doing 2 days of chores whilst watching Picard; the ending was a lot better than most of the preceding stuff, although it still was very much like an old folks' reunion where someone has had the bright idea of having a LARPing session channelling Wolfenstein... they even allowed the doddery old geezer to play.

But my criticism is that all these modern reboots are are season long story arcs where every.fucking.thing has to be SIGNIFICANT so that it becomes a memory test. There's no room for odd episodes that are complete in themselves. The whole of season 2 would have been vastly improved by including irrelevance - a complete musical episode detour would have returned to the oeuvre of the original Star Trek (Trouble with Tribbles), TNG (Firstborn) etc.

The first sign that I can recall of this plotting disease was the Dominion War at the end of DS9... ST: Discovery is vastly weakened by this disease - I might watch Season 1 again, but I can't even get through STD2 once.

And Season 2 arc is effectively a re-run at heart of All Good Things... "The plot involves Captain Jean-Luc Picard jumping through time and the formation of an anomaly that defies causality, the whole situation being a test that allows Picard to demonstrate human potential to the Q Continuum by making an intuitive jump of thought to understand the cause of, and how to eliminate, the anomaly before it destroys humanity."

FFS Producers, get a grip.
