Just coming to the end of this.

Yes, I know. High Fantasy. Sword and Sorcery. Dragons. Magic jewels. Save the world…blah-blah-blah.

But this one is…a bit different. It has challenged my perceptions of the genre. I shall say no more!

^^^ Pleased you’re pleased!

My own plans were severely scuppered as well. Got my E-ticket for Cyprus in an email yesterday. Can’t wait to walk along the seafront again. Special place!

PS. I’ve still got the hat enabled, as it’s quite cool and unobtrusive. The rest are gone.

Much better today, just a slightly sore arm. I shall go for a sauna later!

If you are interested in this, you might well enjoy Reinhold Messner’s book. First ascent of Everest without oxygen; first solo ascent of Everest; and of course first person to complete the 14. Took a lot longer than Nims of course, but things have moved on since then. 030BCB36-3A48-4AD6-838E-069FDE...

What do you get if you eat the Christmas decorations?

Tinsellitis.

That’s a nice stablemate for your GMT. They look good together. It’s good to get a bit of brand variety in the box.

The Christmas Cracker Jokes Thread! Dead simple, as the title suggests – do your worst! There are three rules: 1. Forum guidelines – jokes you could share with the little ones at the table. 2. They have to be really bad – proper cracker jokes. As cheesy as a fridge full of Stinking Bishop, Gorgonzol...

Oh, don’t get me wrong, Des! Your friendly neighbourhood Admin Team likes nothing better than a few seasonal baubles, bits of tinsel and the like. We spend 11 months in an eager frenzy of anticipation, especially the 3-year-old. But believe it or not (and I know this will come as a shock to you) we ...

It seems the snow is back, but not the lights. As downer said yesterday, you can disable any or all in your User Control Panel.

An excellent collaboration. I wonder whether it will be commemorated in a watch at some point?

I had the Moderna booster yesterday. I felt okay until last night then my arm became sore; I slept fairly well but feel washed out and sort of aching this morning, quite similar to my first jab.
