Today I have mainly been V5.0

A trip to the seaside.

Mildly remembering how to work and playing with drunken eBay purchases

Don’t ever tell me I buy stupid shit drunk

Nice, although I would prefer one of these.

Had to google it.

You could buy an actual solid-gold fag-lighter for what those things cost.

Protip: setting fire to shit is WAY the fuck more fun than robots that just stand there.

I got it a couple hundred cheaper than it’s available. But it was still just short of Ā£600 :see_no_evil:

I bought a £300 Certina off theifBay a couple drunken NYDs ago, which was a bit of a shock when it arrived as I was ~blackout drunk~ - but by some freakish twist of fortune I loved it.

Still took a hiding when I flogged it mind… :sob:

Thanks to @Rob998 I got FoL1 insured on my car for only one limb. Tonight he drove me home and I only left shallow finger marks in the seat bolsters. Eek

I paid him to wear goggles and shout ā€œBANZAI!ā€ every couple of minutes.

Please confirm.

Payment will not be forthcoming if the terms of the agreement were not met.

Today I said goodbye to my mum. She was 91 with advanced Alzheimer’s but I’m still rather shell shocked, things suddenly went seriously downhill this morning and she died this afternoon.

Fortunately myself and my siblings all saw her today. Almost exactly 20 years to the day since my dad died.

A great start to 2023.

I’m very sorry to hear this. There’s no consolation but that the grieving you’ll have been doing for several years may now gradually come to diminish.

So sorry to hear that.

No matter how far away the Alzheimer’s might have taken your mum, she’s still your mum and that loss is a very hard one.

Take care of yourself, now.
