How goes folks?

Good weekend I hope. Get up to anything interesting? I’m at the tail end of a long weekend so once again I’ve let the weans sleep in and am using the time to get in about some Baldurs Gate 3 in peace.

Summer holidays are getting old - weans have their pc’s in living room and hearing my boy all day yesterday spout utter nonsense in discord was seriously ripping ma knittin’, as they say. Only another two weeks!

Spent the weekend watching my wife grind through all the TOTK side quests.

Meanwhile I plowed through two ebooks.

Win for both of us!

Oh nice one - which two books ?

"Kill It With Fire" which is a great look at dealing with legacy computer systems.

"Lessons In Chemistry" which is a delightfully draft novel about fifties feminism.

Had so many interesting book recommendations since joining lemmy. I love it!

Work is basically the "this is fine" meme at the moment and I don't care. Shift is over, someone else's problem. I'm gonna let my budgie tell my nose about his day.

Was at a wedding Friday all day, ruff as toast Saturday, back on it Sunday from 2 for the duration, ruff as toast again today. I'm getting 2 old for this shit.

Working from home today - or supposed to be. I finished a couple of Big Things at the end of last week and am really struggling to get stuck into any one of the dozen other things that are on my list now.

I've deleted a lot of photos and sorted the recycling though. I'll be sharpening pencils soon...

Missus took the kids away for the weekend; first time I'd have a night to myself in well over 5 years. It was amazing. Until they came back...

Anyway Monday is going to be an easy day. Partner is working, the kids are tired from the holiday and I think we're just going to mong out at home. And when I say 'mong', i mean that my daughter is going to make me watch The Descendants over and over again on D+.
