Woke up, booted up #dreamlightValley on thr rog and... my cloud save from thr PC hadn't synced. Had I lost hiurs of game play? Worse... my storage room re-org had all been reset!!!! Nooooo. It's ok, I got out of bed and re-synced from thr PC but I'm sure fellow organisers will understand the pain ;)

The 7 year old needed to do a poster for school homework. I introduced him to word art. The 90s are alive and well - take that AI posters!

Today's favourite copilot prompt. "Make this spreadsheet tab look snazzy, using the company branding from our website" We live in a world were AI understands "snazzy", I don't know how I feel about this.

Off to see the Super Mario movie shortly. I had a game gear growing up, never really played any of the Mario games and I still have a headache... oh the things we do for our children :-) if I *was* going to deep dive into the Mario world - where should I start?

Our local costco has unleaded fuel for 140p. The queue was back 3 roundabouts and about 30 mins. The sneaky back way queue was still 11 mins. Not smug that I filled up last week as I was still stuck in it just for a food stock up. But yeah...

Today was the first day in about 6 months (ok, 5 days) when I wasn't dying of the worst headache ever. So, as its easter holidays and I have 2 hungry beings in the house, I went to Costco at the weekend. Holy mother of God and the donkey she rode in on So Many People. ... I bought snacks.

Wait, I can't loll about in my pj's all day, the offspring have a haircut at noon. Eldest doesnt mind but would prefer to stay at home in their pjs, youngest really doesnt like haircuts so will need to be negotiated with. I'm on day 3 of an almost migraine so I'm afraid donuts bribery will be used

Amykate @amykate.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
Today I need to be productive, or i could play dreamlight valley... but the offspring need sustenance so a supply run is required but... they could just eat crisps and oranges, that sounds ballanced right...

Just because we're back at work doesnt mean we're not eating cheese all the time. Right?

You know when you spot clean a carpet and then realise how dirty the non-stained rest is and now you have this glaring clean patch and the whole rest of the carpet looks terrible rather than the 3 inch square stain you had before? That...

Thats a beautiful woman who didnt sparkle there. The costume was lovely but... I dont know, that wasn't stunning - but what so I know! Still love Amber but was something off there? No dancing knowledge here so might have been amazing! Still bloody watchable! #strictly

Amykate @amykate.bsky.social · 20/12/2025
Well done Amber, that was lovely. I prefer a more ... spikey paso but that was glam and feminine but powerful #strictly

I know Karen is, by definition, a proffesional team player but I LOVE how she is doing strictly as a team game, its perfection #strictly

People. I've messed up. Badly. The 9 year old's introduction to Leonard Nimoy wasn't Mr Spock... it was The Ballad of Bilbo Bagins. I've ruined him for life haven't I? #startrek #lotr #parenting

That was fantastic, loved how Carlos stepped back and let her go for it. He's just so brilliant it says something when we were watching Karen the whole time #strictly
