Morning all.
Just returned from the butchers. I've visited it more times in the last month than the five years living here. They good people, and thorough. I'm actually recognised now! And not in the standard "you've got some nerve showing your face here, mister."
I then decided the car could probably do with a "run", and took it for a half an hour drive, taking in Rottingdean, Woodingdean, and Whitehawk.
Gamesblog - nope.
TVblog - 30 Rock, Justified.
Amigablog - coding, and I'm starting to dabble in using an array to set up enemy positions in my vertical shoot'em-up.

Is this a follow up to the 1993 games Fields Of Glory? I'm unsure, there are lots of references to an earlier game and a larger tabletop game. It seems that they've applied a similar process to Blood Bowl. It tries to be a faithful recreation of a tabletop game. Seems very popular. Fields Of Glory was a PC game. It was the best. I have also added a Waterloo game by Slytherine to my steam basket. I am not yet 110% committed to pressing buy. It is going to happen though. I can tell. I need to talk myself in to at least waiting. Otherwise it is embarrassing. Especially if I then don't play them properly. |

Morning Turns out commenting on First Dog a lot before going to bed aids sleep. Who would have guessed? I am a bit disappointed my shameless pick whoring did not pay off. Maybe it was just a bit too shameless, unlikely though that seems. And that I missed out on first comment on a popular article by a second or two. .
Maybe if you’d joined in my online poetry master class … I'm traumatised enough already. I'd like to be able to sleep at some point in the future without having to dissolve half a packet of tramadol in a pint of whisky first. |

Quarantine question: If you stack two lasagne one on top of the other, how many lasagne do you have? 1. OTTM: ganes - not yet (again) Tv - are you mad! why would I waste my valuable time watching drivel Netflix - no Prime - The last legion, not bad 4.5/5* also blitzed the maze runner series, totally enjoyed all three. On a sad note, I just found out (4 days later) that my GP has died of Covid-19 (16th). It really brings it home to you how serious this pandemic is, he was a good GP and will be missed. other than that no news is good news etc. very late edit: the 16th refers to the date that he died, I didn't find out until the 20th. end. |

AChtung! AChtung! AC: Neep Hoarding nerds, particularly Pyjakson ! This is a public service announcement. My afternoon turnip price is 178. Pattern so far has been 79 - 76 - 113 - 178. Since it's still early in the week and there had been a drop on Monday afternoon I'd be inclined to interpret this as the minor spike that usually precedes a larger one. What do you guys think? Gotta go now but can leave gate open to friends later. Personally I'll wait until tomorrow. Let me know what you think. Faceless if price rises over 300, please get ready to pass on Dodo code to your mate from work. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill.

That will have a big impact on the local community. |

I played FFVII remake for five hours straight last night. What have you ever done?
OTTM: Started dreaming about going to the pub now. Times they are a changing.
Kill me now.

Ozymandias Kane that's just bloody awful. NHS staff on the frontline. I'm so worried about my sister-in-law who works in a hospital lab. She doesn't have contact with patients but she still goes to work there every day. As you say, it just shows how serious this all is. One thing I learnt only recently is that during the Spanish Flu the second wave of infections was much worse than the first. We could be here for either a very long lockdown or a lot more deaths or both.

We could be here for either a very long lockdown or a lot more deaths or both. Viruses naturally evolve, the second mutation eradicating the first version which is probably why the second wave of Spanish Flu was worse. I would put money on this virus doing the same thing so I don't believe this is over for a second. As long as she is adhering to the protocols in place she should be safe. Thoughts and prayers TentHen. |

DIYblog - loft-hatch opened (it was jammed shut), and new screws put in.
And front bay-window sealed. Depending the direction of the rain, the bay leaks. So hopefully this'll put a stop to it.

Kane has started to make sense and sound serious. End times, for my judgement at least.
I just ordered 10 litres of draught ale from a local brewery. Bottled beer and wine can only ever be a temporary substitute for proper draught ale. It turns out to be a further indictment of my judgement, as there was a choice of 10 or 20 litres, and I ordered just one 10 litre bag. Idiot Shenguin. I don't even have the excuse that I'm drunk at the moment.
OTTM: I have a nasty cut on my thumb from slicing very stale crusty bread. It's ok though, I can still put my fingers in my ears and "LA LA LA LA LA NOTHING BAD IS HAPPENING" it all away.

Nice to see you supporting the local brewery should have gone with 100 litre purchase and ease the lack of sales at the Pub, start a storage area lay some down (yes I know, who has time to lat it down). extra padding on your thumb is wise thinkage for sound damping! and squirly griggly scumblebut is a thing, eat your greens! (can't leave without a moment of madness)! |

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue Pils—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red Pils—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
