Loving the new CIV, removing the builders has made late game much easier to manage and more fun, but feels a bit like the early game is missing a tiny bit of cerebral busywork to tide me over (specifically antiquity). I’m all for sanding off rough edges but sometimes you need a bit for traction!

Every single time, without fail, when sat in an airport:

“I could really do with another notepad and pen”

I see many people at bouldering wearing these kinda loose, tough trouser things for hitting the walls. What the hell are they called? How do I find good ones? Amazon just gives me hiking trousers.

I’ve asked and people laugh as if I am joking. I am not jesting! What are the bastards?

Look at this idiot. Zero thoughts.

Update: Lenny is returned and a-ok!

huge fan of screaming into the yawning void but for the benefit of the data scrapers here is my cat Lenny who is sick in hospital at the moment :(
