Two

When is a door not a door?

When I’ve taken it off the hinges and converted it into a set of nesting tables.

POKEMON

So I’ve got my second gym badge, I’m on my way to getting a third, I’ve rejigged my team a bit and done some Surprise Trades to attempt to balance out my squad, so now it’s looking like this:

Now hopefully my team won’t get hilariously stomped out by a single pokemon with the right typing. It’s just a case of level grinding them to a roughly equal level (Dartrix, Drizzile and Ponyta were Surprise Trades and were level 1, whereas Corvisquire and Raboot were like level 28 at the time) and taking on the fire gym!

I may have to make room for Koffing though, he’s always wonderfully cheerful! I need a presence like that on my team. Plus, poison type! Always helpful.

ANIMAL CROSSING

Eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs. Where the frig are my fish? My iron ores? MY ECOSYSTEM IS EGGS.

Fairly certain he’s one of the animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Despite the oval-shaped torture happening, Halfhill is doing grand! Blathers is getting fossils and fish (and reluctantly bugs), I have my fifth villager moving in today, I’m actually constructing a few of the accursed Bunny Day items, and everything is generally going swell! I may even make a few custom designed items to wear/put on furniture/etc.

I have no real design skill, they’re not going to be revelations in fashion and cosplay, just simple designs that I would personally wear. Stripeys, spots, that sorta thing!

OTHER STUFF

  • Coffee is my saviour. Coffee is my strength. Black, no sugar, bascially hot bean water.
  • Last episode of Celeb Bake Off is next week, might have to watch more Nailed It after for that beloved baking high I apparently crave, but not enough to actually bake something myself.
  • I’ve literally never heard of Zoom until, like, Boris Johnson used it and posted a picture on the social medias, and now it’s all I hear anyone talk about using. I’m not entirely convinced it’s not some sort of elaborate trolling attempt of some kind.
  • Rhubarb and custard cider, while odd-sounding, is actually incredibly good and tasty, and dangerously moreish. It’s almost like pop; you can get a bit carried away with it because it doesn’t taste overwhelmingly like alcohol, yet have enough of it and try to stand up and whoa there, the room is spinning.
  • Parma violet cider is a close second. Do you have parma violets in the Americas? They’re these small tablet-esque chalky sweets that taste, unsurprisingly, of the flower of the same name. They’re very much an acquired taste, yet I’ve seen a lot of parma violet-flavoured drinks recently, most notably gin and vodka.
