Laaaahnnnndaaaaahn remains the worst place to drive, and I’ve driven in Florence! But we are here. Early night on the cards as child and I are wiped out after a hard week but ready for #Dragonmeet in the morning!

Red kite circling above work! Furthest north one I’ve seen. Derbyshire.

Not been around for a bit. Trying to reduce farcebook but accidentally blocked most socials! Shall spend time here for the sake of sanity!

Got me a copy. Nicely put together little book. Not read much yet but enjoying so far. Looking forward to planning a one shot or two.

Happy @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social , I've opted for a background Jacobite from The Reluctant Rebel by Barbara Henderson @scattyscribbler.bsky.social . I do like being in a secondary school that joins in with teachers dressing up. A rare thing! Gets a bit competitive too!

Commit the sin of empathy.

This counts as political but it really shouldn’t be.

Strange ponderings that I cant find an answer to online. What was the Gaeilge book that was used in 1990 when I was in first year of secondary school. The only line I can remember from it is ironically as Béarla and is 'Punk is cool'. Anyone remember it?

Oh goodie, I cycled to school this morning and now its raining.

In other odd things. Driving out of London yesterday there were illuminated billboards the size and side of buildings. Then the Blade Runner soundtrack came on in the car.... felt.... oddly appropriate!

#Dragonmeet was excellent. Daughter and I had a great time. A couple of games played, Golden Sky Stories was brilliant and Pathfinder, excellent scenario but I dont think its a system for me. Said hi and a (probably bit weird) thanks to @jcvim.bsky.social as LA by night reenthused me for vampire!

Hmmm,
What does the gamer of 2024 carry to a convention these days! Dice? notebook? Water bottte? #dragonmeet!

Car park booked (ouch!) ulez day charge paid! Add in fuel cost and we’re talking £70 or so for 2. Train would have been better but that’s closer to £200 so nope. 0600 leave house, return late!! Tickets sorted and games booked. Really looking forward to #Dragonmeet

Err nerr, snerr

Gods I hate this time of year. Get up and go to work in the cold dark, most of the time leave work in the cold dark. SADD light on my desk is having to do some heavy lifting!

Apparently I got lucky last time I needed to buy a cycling helmet to find one that was the right size and shape without costing as much as the bike!!

1 week out from WHFRP Enemy Within campaign.
2 weeks out from Vampire Dublin by Night.
Very different styles of game, and very different styles of play. WHFRP uses a lot of roll20 while Vampire is mainly theatre of the mind with the odd image. So very glad I embraced the idea of online TTRPGs!!

So the bad place used to have a whole education community on it. I've had a bit of a look but cant seem to find the magic keyword for it. Anyone got any suggestions?

Well let’s see what this one is all about, see if the folks I followed on twitter made their way here!
