Hat tip to @racefans.net for reminding me about Rovanperä. 👍

I do love the long tailed tit illustration. Lovely stuff.

"Life’s too short to deprive yourself of doing nice things just because you’ve not got anyone to go with"

💯 I missed far too many gigs in my 20s just because no-one else liked the music I did. Looking back, I could slap myself for being so silly.

God, I did the same a year or two back. It was my first time playing as an adult. Probably the last too.

Veeeery nice. Must be a decent telescope too. 👍

Approaching 51 here, and I wish I'd travelled more. Especially to places that challenged me. Preferably with a good friend or friends, whether they started with me or not.

It's everywhere; all the kids are saying it. I'm just glad mine (9yo and 12yo) now accept that I find it weird and so take pleasure in trolling me with it. Respect. 😂

But, #F1 being F1, the teams eventually circumvented the rules' aims via innovation and ingenuity. As you'd expect. But that doesn't make the ground effect initiative pointless.

Ross Brawn, if you're out there, I still applaud your efforts. 👏 Ignore the armchair experts.

I also suspect I might stand a chance of getting the daughter to play Scout once she's fully used to Dragonwood's hand size and rummy-like card combinations. 🤞

In terms of popularity with Daughter the Second, the winners are Heckmeck, Cat Café, Cascadia, and Dragonwood. I suspect at least one of those will make it into our personal games collection at some point. 😄

Still a bit sad she didn't like Jaipur, mind.

Oooh! And I've got some mulled wine in too. 😋

100% this. And have it in a standard location (or locations) on the car.

Ooof, damn. Wrap up! Hope everyone's ok. 🧣
