Read the sequel (Lair) first, which taught 11-year-old me not to have extra marital relations in the woods. You never know if a swarm of virus-riddled rodents will pop up and spoil the occasion.

Summer reading update #1: Raced through Jaws, wincing at the 70s attitudes and thrilling to the climactic shark battle. Now onto Quint, a promising prequel I didn’t know existed until yesterday.

Productive(ish) day: put together an insert for Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion. First time I’ve used PVA glue in forever and can confirm it still sucks.
Obviously, my house is filled with real jobs to do but, well, at least I’ve not yet been hit by the summer hols gloom.

First day of the holidays and went to a grey, overcast beach. Steely UK beauty at its finest.
Ran into a former games journo pal and got a massive hit of nostalgia for endless trips away for free booze and games - all in excellent company.

The great pedal board shake up continues. This is my first, and probably only, AliExpress purchase. For the princely sum of £11, I can replicate the punky blues tones of the Fulltone OCD.
Sounds much better than the pricier EHX Glove due to a tone knob that clears up the muddy hard clipping.

Due to a GP cock up my ADHD assessment is likely to take another 6 months, on top of the three years I’ve already waited. Meanwhile, I’m working around this desk at home and its near mirror image in school.
Going to try and tidy it now and then bash my head on any space I can clear.

My ace brother-in-law did the cover for Mere. He’s got a nice line in folk horror fiction work but think this is best one.

But Google says I’ll “love it”. I didn’t give all my data to this mega corporation for it to be wrong, and fail to put a space between two words.
Anyway, I appreciate the couple of hours I won’t now waste. Cheers.

In honour of turning 46(!) today, here is a pic of my first guitar - which my dad just salvaged from the loft.
