what do now
I've managed to do a 2000 day streak on Duolingo, which is pretty decent!

almost certainly binning it now though, I'm not learning anything and very much keeping my streak going for the sake of it, so what's the point? Duolingo being a bit crap with their AI stuff doesn't help either really.

very important question: what happened to pipe rigate pasta?

I used to have this at home in west London in the 1990s all the time, almost certainly would have been bought from Tesco. now nowhere seems to sell it and I can only get it from like specialist places.

I went to see Desperate Journalist tonight, and they were really good! never seen them before, lots of stuff off their latest album, would recommend 👍

after 359 hours played on the PS5 version (with some mobile and a little bit of PC on the side), I have finally fully completed Balatro 🥳

me after I wore a million layers to go to the football but it turns out that it is merely cold rather than absolutely bastard cold as I thought it would be

it's only taken me 350 hours, but I have finally got a gold sticker on every joker on Balatro 🎉

guess that now it's December, it's time for various Year in Review type things - first up, Duolingo! 🦉

and now I'm on the train back to London, should get home about midnight if all goes according to plan

long day, but nice way to kick off a week off work!

the match finished 0-0, not a classic but good result for Brentford given we had a player sent off in the first half.

also good to see Igor Thiago's debut, reckon he's going to be good!

then the actual reason I was up here in the first place: going to Goodison Park to see Everton v Brentford!

kind of forgot to update this, didn't i?

had a bit of a wander around Liverpool, had some lunch (chicken burger, was good) walked along the river for a bit, but it being proper miserable weather made it a bit of a chore sadly

weather's not much better up here it seems

next stop: waiting for a different train at a different station...
November 23, 2024 at 8:09 AM
far too early to be up on a Saturday morning imo, let alone to be out and waiting for a train...
November 23, 2024 at 7:19 AM
Duolingo with more useful, everyday German for me to learn...

February 22, 2024 at 7:37 PM
finally duolingo is getting to the good stuff 😍

I seem to have accidentally come to watch a football match through a giant letterbox 🤔

(it's Crystal Palace v Brentford at Selhurst Park, and will either finish 0-0 or 1-1, haven't decided yet)

absolutely scummed in it the end with double XP and legendary lessons, but that's another objective ticked off in Duolingo ✅
