I don't know how much more of this I can take. I just want to leave the fuckin' house.

Morning Everyone!
It's lovely and sunny here, and Hated Dog behaved himself well on his morning walk. Gosh, I love my walks in the lovely morning sun and lovely fresh outdoors and fantastic views over the sea. So revitalising and refreshing.

You bastard Shenguin. That was not a nice or sympathetic response to BabyF. You should be offering advice on good emotional well-being and supportive friendship at a time like this. You utter shit Shenguin.

Fucking phone just reminded me I was meant to be at a conference today. Free lunch, a room full of people, boring discussions on the finer details of bureaucracy, and other people doing this thing called "networking" while I post on here. Sounds shit. Even so, I think I might quite like to have gone today.

Quiet in here today.

Wait, it's only 07.20 GMT. That's probably why it's quiet. Why would people have bothered to adjust to BST? Go away and be quiet for a bit Shenguin. There'll be other people in here later. People who aren't living in the same house as you. People who aren't Hated Dog. People who might have played Spoderman and might say if it's probably more or less ok for a 12y-o.

Morning
I can tell we have moved into summer, due to 2 days of gales, snow and hail. The wind has also ripped off a large part or the felt from my garage roof. Arse. It's a 2 person job at best of times, even if I could find a diy store open.

Normally working from home all the time would be great, but with a new born there is a tonne of stuff to do constantly so there is no time for gaming here and there.

Morning all. I see Shenguin is the first to go full Smeagol.
Ganes: spot of Control and Life is Strange 2.
Telly: started Peaky Blinders for turbo trainer viewing. Not sure about Cilian
Murphy's accent, but Birmingham looks magnificent. Then watched about 20 episodes of Veep.
Ottm: I now know 3 people who have probably had the virus.

I would consider getting a Switch to sneakily play in the office but they are sold out everywhere (I guess I was not the first to think of this) and I don't want a lite version or to pay £470 for a second hand one.

Only 2 hours work so far. VPN has given up so not very much actually managed to be done.
Ghost recon breakpoint; ok for a weekend but bored by the end, back to control today or may e random mayhem in gtaV or rdr.
Any good games not on the switch out recently?

Morning all.
TVblog - 30 Rock, good to have some chuckles during these trying times.
Filmblog - The Lego Movie.
Gamesblog - none for me, but the boy played on the Amiga yesterday afternoon. He loved Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, and also a Mario Kart-clone called Bump'n'Burn.
OTTM - I'm off down the butchers. Anyone want anything?

I saw a mouse last night when was out for a fag, which was probably the highlight of my day. Not so good was seeing it scarper into my shed.
In other news, I'm going stir-crazy, I may start drinking heavily.
Films: Watched Rain Man last night, never seen it before. Quite interesting.

Good Monday,
Being a mid level public sector bureaucrat during a global pandemic means I am currently working 65+ hour weeks which, for a mid level public sector bureaucrat, is almost unheard of. As Mrs faceless has a proper job I am also full time childcare. #4starswouldrecommend.
Ganes: I have a vague memory of starting Detroit: Become Human. The intro was really good, but the following two chapters were spent picking up shopping and tidying someones house.
Ottm: almost finished the first Rivers of London book. I can confirm scubar and shenguin are absolute wrong 'uns for liking it, and I have definitely not hit up Jeff B for the rest of the series. Should be arriving later this week.

I thought myself or Shenguin would have been first to kill everyone at home and set themselves on fire. Looks like it might be baby. Fair play.
Hello. Managing to get a bit of work done as Mrs C can skive a bit on a Monday morning.
Games. Restarted Amipal Crassing with me as the boss.
TV. No
Fillums. Half of the latest Star Wars.
Asda delivery later. Pray for booze and fresh veg/fruit

Had a shave. The grizzly Adams look wasn't me. Will attempt to trim my eyebrows with a wooden spoon and a fork later in the week.

OTTM - Tesco delivery. Due between 9-10am. Arrived 8.40am. All items present or substituted (amazingly for similar products). Most importantly, beers, red wine(s) and a bottle of bombay sapphire.

I see DomCum is the latest to go into self isolation with suspected bat aids.

Local B+Q has 81 rolls of roofing felt, but will only let me put the nails in my basket.
Classic Dom - should have run faster.

Amipal! Four lamb chops, a pound of pork & tomato sausages and some black pudding if theres any left. Thanks! Ah, Tuffers, old chap... if only you'd shouted earlier. I returned with a kilo of chicken breasts, a bag of sausages, some pork steaks, and a pasty. Yummers. :edit He had a big sign in the window bearing the legend: "When the pandemic is over, remember your butcher" |
