My favourite entry in our #LoveLetterstoAdventures collaboration with @darkshoxx.bsky.social so far. #TheDameWasLoaded is the sort of game I wish I'd had the opportunity to play when it was released almost 30 years ago.

14.5 miles today. 15 days to go until the #LondonMarathon. And a session which contained more walking. I've been battling a pulled muscle and nasty cold for the past several weeks and both have had an impact on training. Got to keep trying though! #running justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Thanks to everyone who joined us for tonight's stream. It's unlikely I'll end up finishing The Cave for #MaybeInMarch, but it's all part of the backlog experience!

We'll be back next Friday evening with tea, chat, Zelda and The Art of Murder jigsaw.
