It used to be a favourite job of mine to cut down trees, chop them up, move them with a tractor and then split/stack them. Except one time when I caught a log on a tree and it flicked into the windshield, shattering it. My face:

What a fucking ridiculous way to number your series.

The idea of Bloodborne always appeals to me…but then I play the game, struggle against the fucking first boss and proceed to hate it/myself.

First session and really enjoyed it. A great blend of stretch, pose and relaxation. I felt throughout that it wasn’t as challenging as I’d want but I’m sitting here and feel like my left hip and left shoulder have worked much harder than I thought.

Skyward Sword HD - it’s not a great game, but I’m about 7 hours in and don’t want it to be a game I abandon. I should also say that it’s not a bad game and I like to play it, but I don’t exactly have the desire to put it on compared to say, The Last of Us 2 where I literally thought about playing the game when I wasn’t.

My school is offering free sessions on Monday and with a) my increase ins running b) complete lack of hip flexibility, I’ve signed up to give it a go. This is Hatha Yoga…which I’m unsure of the difference to other types, but anything to make crossing my legs a more bearable experience.

One of the two fruits I absolutely hate (melon being the other).

6 mile run up hill. Fook’d but off to the pub

God, I love Amadeus. I really need to watch it again soon.

I’m in the - I nearly earn the country average (about 7 months to go) but I’ve accepted as well I’ll never have excessive amounts of spare money. Enough for a few treats, games, drinks, a nice dinner…but that’s about it.

One child at the moment. 16 month old girl and she’s the best - though with parenting and working, life does get very tiring.

Gears 2 and 3 were my favourite online games, that I was also decent at. We’re going to buy a PS5 but this would tempt me into a series s as well.

I always invite my interior decorator to my office.

More revelations as it turns out the PM had a birthday party in June 2020. Literally can’t wait to read about the Sue Gray report and see Twitter respond.

I seem to have a lot of maroon in my life. Typical outfit would be black trainers and jeans, t shirt and maroon jumper.

So…is it pretty much 2D Zelda with a bit more going on with the combat?

Taught swimming this afternoon, do 30 minutes of being in the water then a two mile recovery run (and a shirt dog walk afterwards). Feeling stupidly good at the moment. Update: rest day on Wednesday but did walk a good 5 miles and a 3.5 mile run today. Another test day tomorrow, circuits on Saturday and then a long run on Sunday.

More half marathon training so what should have been a 5 mile run (by the sat nav) ended up being 6.5 miles with a bag that had my laptop in it. That said, it was very hilly but felt great the whole time. My half route is flat mostly so I’m hoping it’ll be an easy finish and a springboard to thinking about a full marathon.

I’ve had a great weekend. Thursday and Friday were shocking as the same viral infection my wife/daughter had, got me on and I ended up taking the end of the week off due to illness. As it involved a horrendous headache I didn’t so much more than lie down on the sofa/in bed feeling awful. So, we made up for it by going to the beach on Saturday and a botanical garden on Sunday. Both were lovely. I also did some reading and some cleaning which also sorts me out.

Back to Perfect Dark, second to last mission. I wandered around for ages trying to see what to do. Turns out, I needed to blow up three relatively unassuming terminals to lower some shields, then the alien was one hit killed and I failed the mission. Classic gaming at its best. I also had a little temptation of buying a new Xbox 360 controller to buy and play the Gears games and Halo 3. Then I remembered I have no time for playing new games much less replaying games I owned when I was 17 so had a word with myself and now I won’t be doing that.

I really hope Boris Johnson hangs on…and then has to stand down due to a vote of no confidence. Then, I hope we get a general election and the country realises that not one member of the Tory party is capable of being the PM. As a labour voter of 16 years, it’s been fairly relentless post-brexit and any change would be nice.

4/6 - luckily thought of US spellings over UK ones.

Easy 3/6 today.

I mean, they aren’t Nintendo bad..,

Everyone in my family is unwell, so I had to take the day off to do some taking care of people. Everyone else was asleep at 11am so I got a few missions of Spiderman in before I joined them.
