Morning!
Sorry to hear that Scubar, hope something better comes along (something with a sub 3 hour drive for a change?).
Games! Because I am a twisted brain wrong, I purchased Stardew Valley again, this time on the PS4 as the better half was hogging the PC. Such a bargain for £6! As such my weekend gaming hours were spent farming away. I think this may be my most favourite game ever, I never seem to get bored of it. Currently in the middle of Summer year 1 and progressing nicely. Managed to get everything for the community centre so far (including the 'secret woods' frond), just need to get lucky with the gypsy wagon a few times and I might be able to get it done in year one. Also remembering to check the TV each day so I don't miss a recipe.
TV! Watched a few more Black Mirror s4. Just two left now. All ok, seem to be reusing ideas now though, might be time to kill it off.

Things are coming up wolfy though.
Bought a few packs of Pokemon cards (i have my original g1 deck and the kids have theirs) and got three Charizards.
Never had one before.
Now from my psychology degree I know regressing to childhood is an avoidance tactic when trouble comes a knocking, but Charizard is the bollocks.

It might work out that I get to move back down to Cornwall, which would be nice. That’s about the only positive.

Unless the relationship turns out to be a decade-long descent into misery and mutually-dependent toxic behaviour. |

]My Austrian great Granddad was sent to a POW camp in Siberia in WW2. He had to walk back when the war was over. He should have called an Uber(mensch). Oof |

I held off with that comment as I knew if I didn't say it, some other bitter divorcee would. |

I'm not really bitter, it just didn't work, and I was personally half the problem. |

I mean you're not wrong, so its hard to be offended. |

Might want to use slightly more romantic language when putting this idea forward to your better half. |

Bookblog: I've just finished reading a compendium of early James Ellroy novels. Pretty good. Not up there with his later work, but comfortably the equal of his restaurant reviews.

Did you know....?
The ampersand (&) and asperand (@) signs are both ligatures, i.e a binding of two or more letters into one.
The ampersand is a representation of the letters 'e' and 't', from the Latin word 'et' meaning 'and'
The asperand was created originally by accountants, from the first letters of the words “at” and “each” (the part circle around the “a” stands for the “e” in “each".)
More fun facts this time next week.

One theory suggests it is also a ligature derived from the Latin word io, meaning “exclamation of joy,” where the “i” was written above the “o.” Enough? |

surely the head of UKIP is supposed to have a racist girlfriend No he is supposed to have an immigrant/ethnic partner so as to show how non racist/xenophobic he is. Also smoke and drink pints. Its all there in their policies and procedures. |

Nope its the truth. Gets rid of confusing "mammy has a different name" issue. It vexed her when she found out that even the now deceased dog had my surname at the vets and she didnt. |

Scubar: You work for Cari(ll)ion? Fingers crossed it will be okay, but I don't like how redundancy has become a trend in 2018.
New look Other Place: all that red in the comments goes nicely with my premod warning.
New Rhik: Hurray! His kitchen cupboards were just getting full.
Today: my copy of Fire and Fury is out for delivery.
I appreciated how the New Statesman magazine had replaced its motto "Enlightened thinking in dark times" with "Like, really smart thinking in dark times" on the last issue.
