Weekend Chatterbox

I feel a bit rough. What did I do last night? Oh yeh, dressed up as a squirrel and got digitised.

Weekend, not another long one unfortunately and the sun seems t have gone so less daytime drinking excuses too. Games backlog doesn't seem to be getting any smaller even during lockdown, guess large open world games aren't the easiest to get done. Maybe tomb raider is finishable in not too long?

I still haven't touched any of my Easter eggs yet, who wants to touch me? Shenguin, put your hand down.

Fillum blog: No Country for Old Men. 4+1 stars.

OTTDM: The weirdos upstairs seem to have 'fucked off' again, just stayed for one night. Now, I am a generous and considerate man, but, if you do not need to live in your property for 3 1/2 weeks* then you'd better have a bloody good excuse as to where you were and why somebody more needy could not have that property.

* According to the tenancy agreement, they are not allowed to be absent for more than 4 weeks without informing the housing dudes. They play it right down to the wire. Wankers. I'll get them...

OTTM: Good Morning!

I cleared out the drains.

I didn't. No Division-ing last night.

TV.
The Nest. Makes Glasgow at night look great. Well. Apart from the Buff. And Possil. Lovely shots of the lower Clyde as well.

Games.
A wee bit of AC: New Hope. el Nookios tent is getting upgraded and Mabel has appeared. Watering my money plants. The child was playing this morning while we took in the Asda delivery so there's probably no fruit on the island now she has a ladder.

More AC. But this time assassin's creed 2. Started this as it was free. Scoobs assures me the sci-fi modern bollocks doesn't last long and I'll be cutting folks throats in Venice soon enough.

OTTM. I have beer, wine, cofffffee from the Asda delivery. All Hail Calum and his (hopefully) Covid19 free driving.

Crank: No need to water trees, they just grow on their own.

Watering flowers though, that's a different matter. Planting the same species of flower next to each other and watering them (unless it's been raining, then they are good for a day) is the only way to get hybrids which are needed for some recipes. There is also one insect species that will only show up when you have blue flowers (and btw, another that can only be found on white flowers).

I've only just learned from that article that the flowers that are indigenous to your place vary from island to island, so after the great fruit-and-bamboo-exchange we should be branching out(geddit?) into the flower trade.

My flowers are:

Pansy
Tulip
Windflower
Hyacinth

and I already have some hybrids but have been very casual about this whole breeding racket.



There it is, RollingEscargot , all the AC chat under one roof, which probably means that Admin is Tom Nook. Happy now?

God help us all

Why?
What value does your species have to the Universe?
(pending a response in the form of a list)

waiting..


still waiting...!

If only Gregor Mendel had known to use a golden watering can to get golden plants, the whole history of genetic studies could have been very different.

Hi

Playing shadow of the tomb raider. With the heating on. Just scoffed two orange clubs.

Bye.

Slowly losing a 2h per move game of NP, one of my neighbours - about the same size - has only me to attack.  His two allies; one is bordering me too, occupied dismantling some other poor sod, the other ally is a frenemy...  sometimes an ally, ut more often a foe and he's guessed who I am, so now my other neighbours are snacking on my other borders... 6 vs 1.5 with the latter pilfering stars.  atm I am so tired I don't care. 

Edit: Exchange of mails between a very restrained Chumbles and the 0.5 just now

jadoube
Have I pinched any other stars of yours (I can't remember the details of what we agreed). But actually I wasn't pinching anything - I'd never do that to an ally.

"jadoube
Mind if I take Procyon and leave you Slow Acrab, Miram, and what's left of Giornio Giovanna?"

It wasn't what we'd agreed, but what you bloody well said you would do, and Wazn and Hot Cox are there because I wanted them vacant ... If something is within my range, I've left it for a reason. Kapisch?
  
And if you forget your agreements after less than 24h, there's no point in me bailing you out of the shite by GIVING you Weapons 3... Just open a goddamn .txt file and store your agreements in there.
