Not to leave Oz or Tent Hen out There's some genuinely funny shit in the lyrics. Can't stop singing along. What have you done. FYI - Translation: lyricstranslate.com/en/westwind-west-wind.htmlWest Wind Ah, I would give my last penny (Wey-hey, my last penny) To live a life as a sailor (Wey-hey, life as a sailor) But, I live far away from the ocean And I'd never make a good captain and if the west wind blows we will see each other again because you hold the pain of my heart tightly in your grasp If the west wind blows again where there's a will, there's a way I'll find my way back Back to sea If the west wind blows again But I'd never be able to offer anything as a sailor (Wey-hey, nothing to offer) So I'll stay in my warm room and sing pirate shanties (Wey-hey, sing pirate shanties) The unknown has a grasp on me Pour north sea water on my face and if the west wind blows we will see each other again because you hold the pain of my heart tightly in your grasp If the west wind blows again where there's a will, there's a way I'll find my way back Back to sea If the west wind blows again and if the west wind blows we will see each other again because you hold the pain of my heart tightly So tightly in your grasp If the west wind blows again where there's a will, there's a way I'll find my way back Back to sea If the west wind blows again If the west wind blows again38 where there's a will, there's a way I'll find my way back Back to sea If the west wind blows again |

For those of you without the internet, I suggest you read Kane's post.

Oh my god, just been in the loft - ostensibly to change a fluorescent light tube, but really to scan for my ds/3ds carts in the 'lost boxes' - and it was 35 degrees up there. Jesus titty-fucking christ that's the hottest I've been precisely ever. I've had two cornettos, changed my t-shirt and my grundies, and I'm still not sure that my constitution has fully recovered. I feel like Bob Geldof should be doing me a benefit concert

Ozymandias Kane you tried your best but that's a rubbish translation. E.g. the translation of as makes no sense at all. I would translate it like this:
Admittedly it's tricky. The Google translation of Fernweh is 'wanderlust' which is wrong because Fernweh is quite different from Wanderlust. Those terms are not interchangeable.

After a hot and sunny afternoon it's now overcast and cooling down here.
Speaking once more of the 3DS, today I was reminded that Jon Cartwright, formerly with Nintendo Life and now at Good Vibes Gaming, had made a video on the looming loss of the 3DS eShop:

Just switch on English subtitles. Well that was an absolute delight "SEGATA SANSHIRO - HE WILL PUNISH THOSE WHO DO NOT PLAY SERIOUSLY, THEIR BATTERED BODIES WILL NEVER FORGET!!! PLAY SEGA SATURN!!!!!" There's times I feel that a bit of nuance gets lost in the autotranslate on YouTube videos, but I feel this may have done the source some justice. I've never wanted a Sega Saturn more |

Just to boast about how great a person I am, I've bought 2* tickets so the Pref.Mam. can see "Top Gun:Maverick".
*Yes I** will go.
**tbf not a real ordeal I expect wonderful flight scenes, a bare plot and wondering why Tom Cruise*** looks so young.
***I like Tom Cruise.

Chumbles if you've got one of those spray misters such as my mum used to spray plants with in the 80's, give yourself a spray on the face and the chest whilst you sit in front of the fan. Will (a) cool you down in double quick time, and (b) serve as a powerfully erotic mental image for the rest of us Stay cool bruv |

I lay down for a 10 min nap after I logged out for the day slash week.
Woke 40 mins later at half six, groggy & feeling like shite.
Still feel rough after food.
Hmm. Hopefully the child's cold and nothing more sinister. She's four days into it and had a negative lft this morning.
The pm brought chicken chasseur back from her folks for my dinner. Was ace.

Just played a terrible round of BF:V against some eSports team called Venom. Absolute massacre. 6 of them running riot. They could have been given spoons and oven gloves as weapons and they'd still have gubbed us.
