I had to get up early today to let the drywallers in: they started at 8 this morning, and when I returned from a four hour game of Blood Bowl at 5pm, they were just leaving. The basement and the extension is now drywalled and ready for the next stage of coating; things now feel […]

I had a Blood Bowl match against a guy who’s beaten me 14 out of 14 times today, and this afternoon the game was merciless, but in my favour; I kept injuring his players, or shoving them into the crowd, and by half way through the second half he had no players on the pitch […]

I went climbing again today, doing about 35 minutes on the wall, and now my hands are sore but I feel good. Before I went, and even as I was warming up, I felt like death, so it’s good to know that moving your body around can remedy some of the symptoms of sitting on […]

I woke to the sound of rain this morning, an unexpected noise that lasted only for ten minutes before it ceased again. I rode my bike to the office, a twenty five minute sprint down the hill and through Fremont, and then had a day at the office where fatigue constantly pursued me.

I slept in, a luxury while the girls are away, and then had a few hours of running around, collecting snacks and water for the homeless camp and then driving down there. Although the heat has lessened slightly, it’s still very hot. I have the luxury of air conditioning but not everyone is similarly blessed.

It’s been a busy few days, too busy even to write. On Thursday, I took the day off so we could prepare for the family’s departure to Canada. After we’d finished packing, we drove down to Burien and spent some time in the Highline Museum, a cute little museum celebrating the local history, including a […]

Because renting a car turns out to be insanely expensive, today I went back to Lee Johnson Hyundai in Everett (where we bought our Ioniq 5) and bought a Elantra instead. It’s a mid sized sedan with a petrol engine rather than an electric car, which is an aberration for me, but given it will […]

I went to pick up my rental car today, and then they told me it would be $700 for a week rather than the $200 the site had quoted me earlier, because of some computer error. So instead of paying that, I walked back home in the blazing sunshine and looked for a car to […]

Yesterday was the 2022 Freedom Bowl, held in a cidery in Snoqualmie, and after a day of intensive Blood Bowl plus several pints of cider, and more booze when I got home, I wasn’t really capable of writing about it.

I had to get up for a 730 call this morning, but that was fine because I needed to call the bank at 7 about a loan. Except I didn’t charge my phone last night, so it went flat and then I had to panic to get on my call. Typical day, really. La Serpiente’s […]
