Hello all.
We have bought a Christmas tree today. A real one, natch.
How long it’ll remaining standing as open for discussion - the young cat has so far only explored the lower branches, and chewed on fallen pine needles… but we have put on decorations on the tree yet.
Theatreblog: all cultured, like. Went to see “Jurrasic Live!” at the Theatre Royal in Brighton. It’s a dinosaur-themed stage-show with very impressive (and MASSIVE) puppetry. Quite enjoyable, despite there being quite a few idiotic adults in attendance with their C-kids.

We got a tree yesterday. Feels good. Christmassy. It is a real one …
I have a feeling there is the beginning of controversy about people having real trees. Is this the case? I hope not. I mean it’s not like there are swathes of rainforests being bulldozed to plant conifers for the Christmas tree market.

We always use the same fake one, not because of any moral reason just don't like all the pine needles.

I'm stuck at Doncaster station. Trains to London are now cancelled due to flooding. I therefore have to wait an hour to catch a train to Manchester and then from there a whole series of connecting trains to London.
Pray for Babyfark, but do not dare to hope.

Why oh why oh why … can’t the boffins - the eggheads - genetically engineer a supertree to remove triple the amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

If they could just design a functioning railway system for a start.

Morning
I ate a breakfast fit for a king. M&S Oak & Beechwood Scottish Smoked Mackerel. Hot smoked in Arbroath. HOT! 10*
Later I'll be making the fam blud sausages, mash, white cabbage, carrots, Yorkies and gravy. Thought I'd try a new brand of sausages, so bought some 'The Black Farmer' pork sausages from Morrisons.
Now to sit on my lardy arse and watch footy, then tonight some NFL. GOOOOOO SPOOOOOORTS.
OTTM, been keeping track of the progress/development of a new game for about 3 years now. It finally has a release date for Aug 2024. It's called 'Black Myth: Wukong'. Too early for pump right now, but it does look like it could be tremendous.

Finally on a train to Sheffield. From there I need to go to Manchester and then apparently the line is OK travelling south. But my heart's not in it, I don't want to be arriving too late.

That’ll make baby cheebus cry. |

Hello.
I've spent today in the kitchen.
This morning I made lentil soup and whilst it was cooking I washed and dried a magimix and all the parts. I then made hummus and washed the magimix again.
Lunch was a cup of the soup and hummus/leftover chicken kebab from last night.
I then cleaned all the soup stuff. Had a coffee, the PM cut my hair and I'm now making chicken & mushroom pie.
Hopefully some games later.
I had hoped to play GT7 multiplayer on the free ps+ weekend. I need to finish some races to open it up. Doubt I'll get there. Maybe pay for a month to see what it's like. That's how they get you though.
Been pissing down all day.

babyF going to visit 15 big lads for a little Sunday evening rough and tumble? Or to get left in the middle of nowhere when transport shuts down for the night shortly?
No games or grown up TV.

This is a classic claim back your fare on expenses and then get a refund from the train company scenario. Babyfark will be coining it in.

That’ll make baby cheebus cry. Because I'm better than you and care more about our planet, I've got a hologram of a Christmas tree, which is powered by recycled vegan cow methane. How can you look 'the kids' and 'Gramdma' in the eye, knowing what you have done? Hologram. Vegan. Methane. *throws orange paint on Amipal* |
