Last push for my print store before Christmas.

Posted all the UK and some of the international copies of War to the Kickstarter backers today. Post office machine nearly broke down in panic when it saw how many parcels I had 🤣

Only three backers left to send.

Bought some courses to watch while on the 15 hour flight to Tokyo. Emailed before buying to ensure app had the ability to download for offline viewing and was pleased to find out it does. Then I found that you can only watch the downloaded videos while connected to the net 🤷🏼

Jeez, if you’re going to use AI to voice narrate your YouTube videos at least do a basic accuracy pass. It’s getting annoying to hear AI narration get basic words wrong and it’s not exactly hard to check, or maybe you prefer to be lazy?

Being sent to Tokyo again this year. Time for my yearly brush up on Japanese phrases. This year I’m determined to get the accent right so at least one person understands me over there 🤣
