I tried that, but I kept hitting the wall going round the corner and then ended up banging my head against the birdcage.
The birds laughed very loud when that happened, but I decided going walkies worked better in the end.
I’m not as bouncy as I used to be for some reason.
I wonder why?

My Christmas present to myself arriving: a late Edo period tsuba which will be part of upgrading a favoured sword.
I was very tempted with a few Zhong Kui (The man who was a ghost-catcher and was elevated to a godlike entity who would also protect your gold - yes, I love Chinese myths and legends) mid-Edo ones but £500 is not something I can easily hide from the Mrs.

Receiving an email to state that two books for my curio section have been dispatched: These two are up there with the Pop-up Karma Sutra in the world of books, regardless of collection focus, all want them.

I miss Sean Lock.
Just bought this for 50 euro. They are sending it to me. 
I’m going to have a ball. I might not be able to move much, but this doesn’t require much movement.
And, the coffee shop from my old area does house deliveries.

Looks like you’re all set for a sedate time to rebuild your energy.
We all miss Sean: If he isn’t handing out pints and bar snacks at the Pearly Gates - I will engage in a practical lesson on the conservation of angular momentum.

Yes @JoelSq, I’m not in the habit of showing off my turds.
I’m always up for that.
He might be herding some lost goats back to the gates too.

Having time to sit down and refine an infusion mix for my first distillation of the year.
If you can recognise all, then you probably went to the Unseen University.

Testing the first gin of the year. This one is burdock heavy and without the need for tonic: as it already has quinine from red chinchona bark. It needs a little more work to refine it (I am pondering black pepper and mandarin essence) bit still wizardly beast at a sedate 69%.

After the never-ending changes and the introduction of adverts to all: I cancelled my Prime account.
Oddly, rather than continuing it until the next payment, they now offer refunds based on the time remaining.

Yeah, I did the prime thing once but it was also like an audible bundle thing that was free for 3 months and I cancelled and they both took money out at the end, I find it funny that a megacorp can somehow take in an insane amount of sales but take 10 days to send a return (which I assume is a lot less than purchases)
