26th October a new PB. The heating is going on in a bit. It's cold, and the freshly washed clothes aren't drying well in the house!

So today I decluttered my WFH space (it's also where my gaming PC sits). Installed a WIFI card in the PC after being fed up of throttled speeds via ethernet. Then @manguish.bsky.social persuaded me into reinstalling Escape from Tarkov. (Internet speed increase is amazing, Tarkov remains brutal).

This current UK government "fear mongering" about stockpiling tinned food and water is annoying. Tin hat brigade etc will be panic buying no doubt.

Urgh people vaping in the gym.. it's always teens as well!

Trying to hold off on putting central heating on till November. Every year that's my target. This is the closest I've got to the end of October before giving in. The low temperature this week is making each day a challenge.

SIMPLE TAILOR GARAK!

Finally finished "Neuromancer" by William Gibson, I'd temporarily shelved this to read a couple of Slough House books. The first 100 pages were a battle, but the rest wasn't as bad. Overall, a good read and can definitely see the influences it's had on all media to this day. #booksky 📚💙

@jake74.bsky.social you manage to get tickets for AEW in lpool Feb? I managed to nab 2 this morning for my kids to go

Gym delayed because quite frankly I wasn't going to walk in torrential rain. Cracking on with work and I'll go up on my lunch break when the weather is much more pleasant.

Kids in uni for the last 2 weeks, helping my brother move house last weekend, back in the gym this week. The cold that slowly developed throughout the week is now threatening to hit my chest... My fault for going outside!

Just under 100 pages into William Gibson's "Neuromancer"... It's a complicated read! #booksky 📚💙

Finished "Slough House" (Slow Horses book 7) season 6 TV show uses books 6&7. Good reading as always, highly recommend this collection of books. #booksky 📚💙

Urgh, Reform have just posted one of their "vote for us" leaflets through the door

After a 5 month break, back in the gym this morning with a legs and shoulders session..

What's that.. Batman (89) just starting on Sky.. well that's the next 2 hours and 6 mins sorted.

Finished "Joe Country" by Mick Herron (Slough House Book 6). As with the other books in the series, enjoyable. (1 of the 2 books combined for the latest season of Slow Horses). #booksky 📚💙

Ah fireworks... And only 1 month ahead of fucking bonfire night.

Pro travel tip. You can delete GB News from the free to air channel list on your hotel TV, to stop spreading hate.

I keep having an "OF" account that follows me daily.. I'm not going to follow back, quit it!

I was gifted new pillows, but that's an interesting company name

It's a premier inn all you can eat breakfast feeling this morning

I'm in Stockton for a couple of days. After a brief visit, I can confirm there is nothing in Middlesbrough

First 7 episodes of Mobland done... It's so good! Finishing off the final 3 of season 1 tonight.

Urgh, alien breed collection not out on switch 2 yet.. despite being on other consoles yesterday

I never actually heard back from the dentist. I'm assuming they realised their mistake... Or they couldn't be bothered explaining to me and I'll receive a late payment notice via the post.

First 2 episodes of season 1 Mobland done. Love tom hardy, not a fan of Helen mirren.

8th and final episode and not one advert through any of them.. I'm not complaining, but when I watched Reacher the ads were all over the place!

*whispers* I'm 4 episodes into Neagley and Amazon have forgotten to put adverts on them......

It's been 3 hours, they haven't called me back yet.

Back at the dentist. In-depth hygienist appointment today..

@farrmark.bsky.social did you get to the cinema to watch the re-release of transformers the movie?

Reacher season 4 here we go

Cinema trip today, 40th anniversary re-release of "Transformers - The Movie"

I just cooked my first meal with my new rice cooker (just a simple mock fried rice). Very nice.. I need any and all rice cooker recipes please.

Run streak day 10, 4 miles - raining quite heavy when I woke, thankfully it stopped by the time I left the house. #runchat #running

X-Files... Finished 2 Fathers/One Son last night.. got to say, I feel the conclusion of the syndicate arc was a little rushed.. felt quite underwhelmed with some of the story telling with it and it seemed rushed

I think the filling has come out to some degree.. I'm sure the hygienist will tell me next Monday while they're inflicting pain
