It was a lot like Dragon Age Origins but years before. No one seems to have heard of it.

I won the work vegetarian cooking contest. Baked butternut squash biryani, which is so easy it feels like I cheated.

I know we all know it's hot, but this is what happened to a can I left in my car.

A can of Dr Pepper that has exploded, the whole top of the can blasted upwards, on a work desk.

I often try to listen to stuff I don't agree with. Including this podcast. I need to make sure I'm not in my own little bubble. But sometimes I see a title and despair.

The daily T podcast. 'Our children are trans. We blame the BBC.

My children have made a "treaty" to deal with arguments over lego. On paper, no less. I'm quite impressed. That would have been well beyond me and my brother.

Took the eldest son fishing and got very lucky with the weather considering the season.

The "Core" is the core rules plus some setting stuff. Two popular settings are Seattle and Berlin. Either of those two would be enough to get going. I ran my first arcs in Seattle with just this book.

We let the local handyman use our outside tap for his allotment. Turns out to have been a good choice.

Can't see these and not mention candle salad.

A banana "salad" that could barely look more like a dripping erect penis flowering from a ring of pineapple. With a cherry on top.

Youngest son is having a joint birthday party tomorrow with Isabella, his best friend from school, and his gran has absolutely knocked it out of the park on the cake, as usual.

A ridiculously fancy cake in the shape of a castle featuring a dragon astride it and a princess riding a unicorn outside the moat. It looks more like a playset than anything edible.

It's a really nice looking book. Look at the inner cover.

Aah. Long anticipated treasure from @mindstaincomics.bsky.social Been looking forward to this. Assorted bonus merch too. Particularly taken with the bookmarks.

A rather handsome graphic novel called "High Grey" with a selection of bonus merch. The cover features a cat perched high above a city gate.

Not exactly impressive but invite only Bluesky feels like it was a very long time ago.

Well, Star Trek DS9 had Gul Dukat. Who was an obvious monster but charismatic and sympathetic enough that it became a problem for the writers and the cast. viewers liked him too bloody much.

We asked my youngest what birthday cake he wanted for his 5th birthday. He has presented us with this artistic vision of "A shark fighting a giant squid."

They also do a reasonably priced cut for kids.
