What do you do when you realise the box of 12 eggs you have has a use by date of tomorrow? Simple! Make a shit load of cookies and cakes, and hard boil a few for lunch tomorrow 😅
The fruit cake in the oven at the mo is making the house smell _a m a z i n g_.

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

Ok; going to try a little bit of #ArtAdventCalendar - I have nothing new, I dabble from time to time as a meditative thing when I have the time, so nowhere near as prolific as some. So I'm just going to dig through what I've got to hand from years gone by to begin with :)

Only just caught up with yesterday's #F1; Mclaren really are trying their very best to completely fuck this up aren't they? I wouldn't be surprised if Max walks away with it on Sunday

There was this new spangly thing called 'the internet' and I, as a 16 year old in the mid-90s, thought it would be really cool to make my own web page.
That's it 🤷♂️

Spray day! Lovely bases from that there @fenrisgames.com - the models these are for aren't here yet, but I do love painting bases separately from the models anyway 🙂

Nearly time for the first HarrowHyrst sale, from Saturday 15th -Sunday 30th November. It won’t include my newest Dragon or current deals, they will still be available from Footsore Miniature’s website shop in New Releases. Watch out for it going live on Saturday!

fell asleep on the sofa around 10:30'ish last night - my stupid body clock doesn't let me sleep for longer than 5 hours so guess what time I've been up since? 😴
On the flip side; dishwasher's emptied and I've had time to do fried eggs on toast for breakfast, all before the sprouts and wife wake up.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

![[Scene is a boardroom in the headquarters of the board game manufacturer, Parker Bros. The year is 1966]
1
[show exterior of a factory building with 'PARKER BROS BOARD GAMES' written on the top]
PARKER 1:
Ok brothers - a quick run through our manufacturing schedule...
2
[Switch to interior scene of the boardroom, in which the three Parker Brothers are having a meeting].
Parker 1:
So this year we'll be making: Monopoly, Cluedo, Risk, the portal to Hell thing,
Scrabble, and Tiddlywinks.
3
Parker 2:
What was that?
Parker 1:
Tiddlywinks!
Parker 2:
No the bit about Hell
4
Parker 1:
Ah yes - we're manufacturing ouija boards now
Parker 2:
What
5
Parker 2:
Parker… we make *board games*...
Parker 1:
Yes, Parker! And this is a great family board game which may or may not be a portal to the Other Place.
6
Parker 1:
You know, 2-6 players, summon a loved one, might be a daemon - great fun
7
Parker 2:
Whose idea was this?
Parker 1:
Well I believe it was... Mr Shimmer?
8
Parker 2:
Who is Mr Shimmer
[voice from off-scene]:
shimmmerrrrr...
9
[Cut to a figure who is also sat at the boardroom table. It is a horrifying eldritch wraith, eyeless, pale, with a gaping, hissing black mouth drawn open in a foul, silent, endless grimace]
Mr Shimmer:
*sssshimmmerrrrr*...
10
Parker 1:
Our new creative director! I met him at a seance, because it's 1966.
11
Parker 1:
Mr Shimmer says he hopes there may soon be a set in every home in the land!
12
Parker 1:
Come - shall we play?
[he shifts his body forward in his chair slightly, and we glimpse behind him the terrifying eyes of another demon sat behind him, a la this iconic bit in Insidious]

[Nurse on phone taking a call]
Ok - we’ll be right over

We just have a gentle chat

I understand your concerns…

Are you OK love?

Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters

That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian

Give us your phone, love

At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to
[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

Started listening to the F1 races live from the timing website, rather than waiting for the C4 highlights since I kept accidentally spoiling the results, and... it just sounds like a very tedious sport* when it's audio only.
