My 'Hand That Feeds' shirt from @wolfskulljack.bsky.social has arrived! I've enjoyed her epic artwork at Cheltenham Paint Festival over the years, now I can wear some! I have ME, so having some proceeds support the ME association is really cool.
I will be wearing this to DM D&D this evening!

I want to get into a #grandstrategy game again but I'm not sure what appeals. It doesn't help that I had a dream about a really good one that doesn't exist in reality. 🤣

Oh no, new Palanite Enforcers for Necromunda and a new Tyranid Combat Patrol, probably out right before my birthday. I guess I need to get painting again.

A month ago I was at #UKGE having an awesome time and today I have been at home melting in my chair. I miss UKGE.
At least it's meant to be back under 30° again tomorrow.

Look at this little guy! A yellow mongoose at #CotswoldWildlifePark.
I didn't take many photos as I didn't take my DSLR, but still had a great walk around with @chrismeekings.bsky.social.
Ice cream, four bintarongs, a red panda, good weather, only a small amount of sunburn, 5/5 will do again.

I need to get back in the habit of miniature painting, and be less critical of my results.

My mission for UKGE today, collect gunpla for @angrypants.bsky.social. I assembled it backwards but got there in the end!
Also on our table was @roguehobbies.bsky.social, clipping plastic and being bemused by someone online claiming an AI image was their painted mini. 😁
I think I like gunpla now.

My one boardgame wishlist for UKGE was John Company, and not only is it now mine, but signed by the very kind @colewehrle.bsky.social and Ricky Royal. This means I am honour bound to learn the solo mode.
I also got to speak to @miasmacorp.bsky.social about Molly House, so that's my next wishlist!

Picked up Heart and Spire at UKGE with the bonus of buying them from @gshowitt.bsky.social. We had a brief pause while he stopped to assist an apologetic @itsquinns.bsky.social. If I'm going to be delayed 30 seconds, it seems fitting it's by the person who made me want the book in the first place!

I have made the piano melody from #Severance into my message alert. My life is now mildly unsettling when it goes off.

I did several hours of clambering around in the loft yesterday and carrying boxes up there. Today I am channeling the Theoden 'my body is broken' meme, just without any of the heroism or proud ancestors. 😁
I am sitting very still in an armchair taking the opportunity to finally watch Severance.

New #SleepToken track and an album in May! ❤️
Tsunami Sea arrived last week, Ghost release Skeletá next month, and an Electric Callboy is album expected this year. My stereo will be busy, and that's before I go back and buy the Jinjer and Lacuna Coil CDs from February.

Nearly every time Ghost releases a new track, I listen to it, and think it's fine. Then an hour later I've listened to it 17 times and it will be playing in the back of my brain for the next six months. Anyway we have tickets to see them next month...
