Attended a dear friends funeral. After, we were invited to the hall where his board game collection was displayed and people were invited to take one home to play and remember him.
Was thinking of pasting the order of service inside the box lid, but... glueing a board game seems wrong

I had never considered getting a tattoo, but after my wife got some beautiful fine line tattoos, inspiration came to me about what and where I would get one. It turned out better than I could have imagined.

Was delighted and very much surprised to come 3rd in the #Discgolf tournament yesterday. Here I am sharing the podium with those who beat me, next to the pond that I failed to clear.
Twice.
Ah, well, next time.

Played a game of Raiders of the North Sea last night in memory of a friend who is no longer with us. It was the first game we ever played together. Put their preferred player colour pieces aside; they would probably have won. Again.

Personal best at Torvean #Discgolf this morning. Couple of birdies, not including this most frustrating of shots. Let down by my inability to throw any significant distance for the longer holes.

Had a fun game of spirit island the other day. My dreams and nightmares swept the invaders into the sand helping us to gain a fear victory. Great game.

I live in a small city that is often considered remote. But we have what I believe to be the best #discgolf course in scotland; Torvean. The guys are not content to stop there, though, and are adding 2 new 9 basket courses. Here is the 1st basket Very thankful for their hard work and dedication.

My cat's favourite place to sleep is on our legs. I am now overheating as I haven't yet taken the thermal leggings off after disc golf this morning.
Also; I wish I hadn't crossed my legs before he lay on them!

One of my choir presented this to me as a thank you present. Absolutely blown away at how thoughtful, and beautiful, a gift it is.

National Youth Choir of Scotland (Inverness) concert last night.
So proud of these kids, they tackled some pretty tricky music, and had fun doing it.

I changed the day that I visit today's school. It had been Thursday for years, but for some reason I changed it to Wednesday.
I am now looking forward to Friday tomorrow...

Last night was spent on Tabletop Simulater with friends.
TS is a great tool, but boy is it fiddly! Even playing Scout was a challenge.
Was amusing imagining the antics happening in real life. Reaching in to other peoples hands, plucking cards, turning them round, or throwing them off the table!

Playing Jumanji the board game with my 9 year-old. I thought it was going to be a horrible chore of tedious dice rolling, but it turns out to be great fun as you have to answer riddles ans physically act out scenes and challenges.

The good part of living on the corner during winter; schadenfreude at expensive cars failing to get round the corner.
The bad part; the civic responsibility to help those who need to get out.

Brief pause in the journey to Gairloch this morning. Absolutely gorgeous, but I could have done with a more relaxing drive!
Charging station was malfunctioning, but pretty sure I will have enough battery to get home.

Over the past few days I have been revisiting this brain-melting game. Barrage. Pronounced Barrage, not Barrage.
I love this game; don't get to play it enough.

So my 8 year old decided today's game would be Food Chain Magnate. It ended predictably, with tears, snot, and recrimination.
I am hoping to take defeat better next time.

Had a moment of childlike joy solving today's exit advent calendar puzzle. My son can't wait to help me solve tomorrow's, too.

Managed to get a game of Battlestar Galactica in at the weekend.
Question is; do I sell a kidney to try and get the Pegasus expansion?
