an afternoon on the couch (mostly playing Turnip Boy) Is this a euphemism? I think you've revealed too much about yourself there.

That was meant to be a reddish emoji, which pretty much sums up the quality of my day.

There's no red whatsoever in either of those things.

There are some micropenis looking turnips out there if you do an image search. If I'd had a wank I would've just said it in fairness.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and PuckOff are my games of the generation for their names alone.

Yeah, the name pretty much sold me on it. A quick check on howlongtobeat* and I was in. It's a pretty fun game in fairness. Prime game pass material, apart from a couple of bugged achievements.
* Not a wanking tips website!

Spent yesterday at Blackgang Chine. Which for the unaware is the oldest "theme park" in the UK, approaching 180 years. I just love it there, it's a bit random in places but is a brilliant entry level theme park, aimed squarely at 4-12/13 year olds. Cowboy Town is still the best part, so good to see kids off being kids and losing themselves in the imaginative play. Even my eldest who is not great at that.
We got joint park tickets this year with Robin Hill (a lovely country park with lots of nature stuff and adventure playgrounds, big bouncy nets etc), only have to go 3 times to get our money's worth.
Today we're off to the beach all day, paddleboard and all, taking my mum for a birthday lunch at a beach side cafe. It's weeks like this that really make me appreciate living here and make the dull winters worth it.

I used to love going to Blackgang Chine, the Smugglers Museum and Flambards when I was a kid. I'd happily move to somewhere in the west-country in heartbeat. There's something about that part of the country that just makes me feel more at peace.

We went to Black gang Chine yesterday as well, it was great fun. My daughter absolutely loved the dinosaur Park, especially the one that spits water out.
The IoW has been great, everywhere you go is a spectacular view and the food has been amazing.

Nice! It's pricey but with free unlimited returns for 7 days, you can get your money's worth.

Gave blood, then wandered into town to buy some trainers & coffee.
Day is a winner.

I was in London yesterday and watched Jerusalem at the theatre. It really is worthy of the hype - absolutely brilliant.

I've been getting woken up at 4:30am because the kids want to do the end-of-season Fortnite live event. Again.
I assume Asia isn't a priority, but why do these global events always have to be at bloody 5am??!

Get them onto Apex. Isn't its biggest market Japan?

Really? I have no idea tbh. I've heard the odd person mention it, but not especially more than Fortnite or any other game. I liked Apex back when I tried it, mainly because it was Tf2 movement, but unless they've dramatically added stuff to it then its not even in the same ballpark as Fortnite when it comes to the amount of content. Especially all-ages content. Apparently the end of season event was 'awesome' as they got to pilot a giant mech, etc.. plus they're very much looking forward to the upcoming Hoshino Gen concert. I assume at least that one will be a reasonable time in Japan.

Woken up this morning at 4am by the sound of a cat throwing up.
He's missing his mummy. 😔
Cleaned that up, sorted them out, them took the hound for a long walk before it got too hot for him. He's now laid out on the lawn and I'm making breakfast and thinking about a large piece of naughty cookie.

I'm working this morning which is shit.
But I phoned John Lewis because I wanted to add an Alpha Industries NASA t-shirt to my order of a Raging Bull gym vest, she said nah but she gave me a goodwill voucher to use on a fresh order for the t-shirt because "I was the first call of the day" and "You sound nice, and I feel like it".

I'm on my laptop with the sun shining in through the window. I'm trying to bring a 250,000 word novel that I started 10 years ago into Scrivener so I can edit it, sort it, see if there's an actual decent story in there and then finish it. I've decided that even if it's a great big steaming pile of turdwank, I'm going to finish the fucking thing one way or another. Going to try do another hour or so and then - as I noticed Curry's have the Soda Stream I want in store for the same price I saw it online - I'm going to drive the 5 mins there and get it. Whoop.

Ha. The word count is a fucking curse. I've over worked it completely and added in about a million superfluous characters and threads. That's why the damn thing is still not finished.
Kind of hoping that whilst I go through this process I'll trim a hell of a lot off. It's not like any publisher would even look twice at it if it was a bloated mess, regardless if there was anything good in there. Need to be brutal in my editing.

Fuck sake, I came up with the design of the demogorgon's face years before Stranger Things appeared, I want my bloody royalties:
"A long serpent with a thin line of silver spines running over a hardened and segmented outer shell slithered across the branch and down her arm, the head nothing but a sickly yellow bulb that began to open like a flower-head, exposing a multitude of black needle-like teeth."

Usual Saturday morning of haranguing the kids so we can get out of the house on time for the girl's swimming lesson. After that they boy goes to Warhammer club andy wife and daughter go for coffee and cake. I have 2 blissful hours at the gym. It's my favourite part of the week.
Back home for lunch shortly, mow the lawn, put up a trellis in the garden, maybe an hour of painting the boy's room before sneaking to the pub for an hour on the excuse that they have Beavertown Neck Oil on tap.
