🚴‍♀️ Bikes

Currently in the market for a new bicycle. I don't want a mountain bike because I don't think that I will ever cycle up, nor down a mountain. The tyres are far too grippy for commuting, and the suspension is wasted for the kind of use

🐠 Fishes

We've upgraded our fish bowl to a tank this weekend. I prepped it yesterday, and we transferred the fish over today. It's got a built in light and filter so we can get rid of the naff pump-driven unit we had in the bowl. It should

Back to School

The boy went back to school today. The house was quiet for a whole load of hours for the first time this year. He was excited to go, and came back scoring his day 9 out of 10. We've been watching a lot of Come Dine With Me

⚔️ D&D: A New Adventure in 5e

My character sheet [https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/23788049/d9lhsR] is mostly complete! Caelynna 2.0 may actually map really well to the original 4e character. Sneak Attack is slightly better than it was, in that you can use it without advantage under certain circumstances. We maintain the teleport–misty

Losing Weight 🍰

I had never considered myself as somebody who needed support in this particular endeavour. I've been slowly growing rounder for quite a while — watching as my trouser size gradually increases.

Planetary Interaction 🌎

Looking to boost the income through new streams, I have dedicated some time into implementing planetary production. It complements running reactions and doesn't require importing vast quantities of materials

Our second getaway of the year has been a week long stay in the idyllic Brook Cottage [https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/brook-cottage-buckhorn-weston.en-gb.html]. We chose a good week to go away, though as you can see the weather at Stonehenge was a little… ropey. We drove down
