If you want a change I recommend "Really Bad Chess" where you find out what it's like to play against 7 knights at once. The angles get a bit tricky. I hate it and also love it.

Tried to use a coin for scale to show the size of this spider. It looks like I'm trying to pay her off.
This is what would be considered a very large spider in the UK.

Are the lichess puzzles harder than the chess dot com ones? Only I seem to have found my stride a bit and want some trickier ones

The walk went well. 6 miles plus a bit that I didn't record at the start.

I like the small joys. Managed to find a reasonably priced tiny thermos flask for my coffee. I like small strong coffees so this is perfect.
Also saw a fox on the path ahead of me, which is very unusual in the countryside when walking. No photo as it was too far away for my phone.

This very hastily cooked, badly presented, ramen was delicious. I added a lot of chilli oil and the pollen count is high so I did a lot of sneezing for joy

I have a selection for that reason. I have chess club later so this cup is today's vessel of choice. It should be more like a timble because I'm not very good

In terms of fun scary, the end sequence of Dying Light with the horde chasing you.
In terms of not fun scary. It has to be "Rescue on Fractalus" on the C64. That game terrified the heck out of a 5 year old me

Broccoli is 8p at ASDA at the moment. For those in the UK who feel like making some kind of broccoli based masterpiece.
I guess prices might vary locally, who knows.
