I don't think I have been completely on my own for a birthday before.

I am actually glad to be going to "work" today!

One thing we have noticed, looking at all kinds of real estate, is how much the Czechs like yellow. Now that I am here, there's something about the light that makes it make more sense

Checked in, had dinner, had a BATH, time for bed. It's been a long and tumultuous journey since the shock of November, but now the real adventure begins. I live in Prague now!

Can't sleep again, so thinking about how I had the best moment at UKGE when not only did I have two Kiwis playing at the demo tables, but I also got a visit from @citysquarestudios.bsky.social making it FOUR Kiwi voices at once! And the day before, Gore was represented!

UKG-Ended!

What a neat experience. The vibe in the UK is definitely different (in a good and familiar way). I enjoyed doing demos here a lot - big thanks again to @farplace.bsky.social for having me on the team! Hopefully see you all again soon.

Off to Dublin, because of course Dublin is on the way from London to Birmingham 😅🤷‍♀️ My lil otter friend says hi!

Great idea to have more than one A21 gate, Heathrow
screenshot showing 2 different A21 gates, one in terminal 5 where I will be arriving, and one in terminal 2 on the other side of the airport, hooray?

Farewell, @meeplesyrupshow.bsky.social!

Thanks for (how long has it been?!) and all the connections and experience and fun I have had as a co-host ♡ I will definitely report back in from Europe, but... probably not live at 2am, lol

Just wanted you all to know that I am currently Outside and have just purchased what might turn our to be a collection of rather scandalous historical events in Prague
Cat rests her cheek on her first while behind her, a street scene provides evidence of her being, in truth, Outside A book with cartoon-style illustrations of (crimes?) and the title possibly translates to "Prague causes célèbres - court stories of old Prague"

From our perspective, 20% was pretty much fatal to our business.
30% is basically the same as 145% in terms of whether we can actually afford to order our games.
China Tariffs are down to 30% I'm glad all those companies that shut down and teams that got laid off are back in business & getting paid again. [stares in nope] They are back in business and getting paid again, right?
