Ah fucking hate zombies.
Almost as much as giant space cockroaches.
Morning!
L'weekend. Marvellous.
Just opened some coffee I got at Xmas. Yum.
TV. The Morning Show. Nearly finished. Just had the flashback episode. Nicely done. Creepy but well done.
Games. Bit of Uncharted. That was all really. Need to get back into Far Cry 5 and might get a go tonight.
Fish curry for dinner tonight.

You can guess my leg is not behaving. btw this rubbish trackball is shortening my temper dramatically = shouting at the radio... But a new Chumbles standard: Perixx PERIMICE-517 Wired... With constant use, it lasts about 6 months, but it works well for my two, big, two handed way of using trackballs. I'm using AmazonBasics Wireless Trackball Mouse... I HATE the variable speed ratios which made me under or over shoot the target; the scroll wheel goes into auto scroll at the slightest pressure. I've tried ca. 20 different trackballs and after 6 years still searching. |

I have outsourced some of my sick people to the hospital. Hell. I fervently hope that they recover soon and well. Remember to ask why, when the medical folk are trying a treatment. You know the patients better than they do, and Doctors make assumptions |

I use a Logitech trackball in work.
Loads of folk don't like it "can't use it"
It's helped me as we're not quite hot desking but folk are using your desk if not there and they avoid mine. I've also hidden any spare mice.
Plus taking a large dump on the keyboard before you leave helps.

Morning(-ish) TV: Midsomer Murders for brainless entertainment. It always delivers on that front. Though not enough daemons. Ganes: doggedly filling in my Pokedex and constantly re-organising my boxes by type. Since the next Gym Leader is specialising in dragon types I thought it's time to train up some 'mons that exploit dragon weaknesses that so happen to be types I haven't had on my team so far. So I put Sylveon (fairy), Applin (dragon, with a view to finally evolve it, hadn't got round to that so far) and Snom (ice) on my team. (Artist's impression of Snom taking on a dragon type:)  Snom. My Snom is called Snøm and is very smål and I love him, very, very, very much.  Unfortunately because Snom's base stats are pants a lot happened to him. He cost me a fortune in potions and still I had to watch helplessly as he got one-shotted by random Pokemon. The worst instance was totally my fault: I ran into a Torkoal, and because I'm not familiar with a lot of Pokemon I didn't recognise it as a fire type. Ouch. I mean, it's got a steam cloud on its back, ffs. Fortunately this game has a solution to this kind of dilemma that I very much appreciate: sending him to university and let him take HP and Def. stat classes. Once my precious Snom graduated I was able to take him camping and cook him his favourite curry. Camping with a Snom is the most adorable thing ever (they are not exactly what you can call fast, so be patient, omygodhessocute). So the inevitable happened - after the camping trip he evolved. I did not stop him, I want him to fulfil his potential. They grow up so fast *sniff*. Ah, and I also bought To the Moon. It'll probably make me cry. |

I was reading about the Pokemon cloud storage they're coming out with.
That's genius. Someones getting a Xmas bonus for that.

@tent Hen. To the Moon is great. One of the only games I can think of that made me feel actual feelings, and I'm pretty much dead inside.

tenthenemy! You killed it! Stone dead! Hello all. Just the boy and I for the morning, as my partner went into town for a haircut. £70... astounding. Mine is only a tenner. Saying that, she does have about a hundred times more hair on her head than I do. Gamesblog - still on Skelkatraz in DQB2. I have followed tenthenemy's advice, and grabbed as many materials as possible. In the process, my character is now perpetually hungry.

Hullo. Time for a drink. Speaking of which, One of my Xmas pressies was a bottle of:-
Chateau La Borie, Cuvee Valpierre, Cotes du Rhone Villages
I have no idea what this means, but I expect it to be good as it was from my plonkophile in-laws in Marseille and brought back to blighty by my mother-in-law.
I didn't buy them anything. I forgot France existed for a while, which was nice.

A quid a hair? I hope they throw in the polish for free. My hairdresser comes to me. She's a real professional - she spends 10 minutes running the lawnmower over the circumpolar region of my head and another 10 over the 2 or 3 hairs withering in the deserted polar region. She dutifully oohs and aaahs over maladroit NHS treatment I receive and smoothly extracts £20 from me and herself from my house. |

£8.50 here. They do an excellent job.
I've been on the wine producers website. They pointed out that the checkout was in French, 'So, if you are a foreigner, you should blah blah blah..'
Don't take that tone with me Mr.Johnny Frog.

Au contraire, it was Snøm who killed it. Shows what an ice cold (geddit) killer he's become. Not to be in a perpetual state of starvation is not being on Skelkatraz. Up to then I had never let my character starve, so I wasted far too much food to keep her topped up at the beginning and then had to do most of the rest hungry. There isn't all that much worth collecting at this point. You will know when that changes. When I reached that bit I didn't think about taking stuff with me and missed my chance, therefore the advice. (The objects you can acquire are not completely "missable", they can apparently be rare drops from selected enemies and therefore a pain to get.) Edit: to be less cryptic, you need to be in a position to demolish the place.

Shed chat, cold and wet out so not going out. Haircut chat, ranges from 8-12 for the same thing from the same place. Not being asked if they want the ears and nose hair tidying so not as old as some of you.
Games, none recently but probably an RTS or divinity os 2 later.
TV chat, why is love island on when it's not the summer?

£8.50 for me, but I usually just give a tenner to show all the waiting retired guys what a high roller I am.
@stxpdr you need to get your own hair trimmer for the nose. It's coming, embrace it.

Fish curry for dinner. Used a full pot of korma paste instead of a half pot by mistake. Thought the child was going to explode.
It was probably all a ploy to get the Solero for pudding to "calm my mouth down"
I've been played by a seven year old.
Got a hopefully nice bottle of Pinot Noir for later from Lidl. It's a Lidl that took over a Whole Foods location. The £6 price of the wine probably would only have gotten some crisps when it was whole foods.

Ah, yes. Fish Curry; a chatterbox family favourite.
We had haggis 'neeps 'n' tatties at the local 'Spoons.
