So last night, @geekylou sprang up to check she'd locked the door, leading me to dream we'd come back from a night out to find the door open, a turret in the porch and raiders taking up residence upstairs.
I guess we're lucky it wasn't ghouls or supermuties.

@geekylou found this on the birdsite: Farage asks for a pint. The barman draws it & throws it into his face. 'Why did you do that?' 'You asked for a pint, but you didn't say how you wanted it delivered.' Farage: ‘I'll have a pint in a pint glass.' 'No. You can't ask again.' 'Why not?' 'Democracy.'"

So with BoJo's pro-rogue being ruled unlawful, and Trump likely facing impeachment, will there be a race to see who goes first? Will there be a sweep-stake? One couldn't even make this up...

High Court has ruled against Boris Johnson's proroguing of parliament. Must reconvene immediately. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49810261

It must be a Sunday. The Grauniad is once more ramping up its anti-left propaganda to almost election-campaign levels. They must be absolutely terrified of the possibility that their beloved LibDem yellow tories will be pushed back into obscurity (where they belong) by Labour.

Birthday weekend continues apace with the second meal out today. Roast beef at The Three Horseshoes in Houghton. We were originally planning for yesterday but I had a bout of depression so we ended up ordering pizza and bingeing tv shows online.

Out on the town with @geekylou for #birthday_drinks part the first. Had a lovely plate of Haddock chips and peas in the Oliver Cromwell pub with a German style pilsner. We had first gone to the Taproom, but their beer was monotonous and the vegan food (ok not really food) was all laced with toxins (coconut).

Been playing Skyrim again... Sometimes a nord is just not enough.

Boris Johnson is so bad that he can't even get a vote of no confidence in himself!

Boris throwing toys out of pram and threatening to call for a GE if he loses again tomorrow (hint: he can't, he doesn't have enough support)

Clarke praises Rees-Mogg for 'keeping a straight face'

He says the reason for the motion is because "the government is insisting on pursuing a policy which it knows Parliament is opposed to."

He says it would be "quite horrendous" for Parliament to "allow itself to be sidelined".

He congratulates the Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg for "keeping a straight face" while he is making "incredible" arguments.

Yesterday, I dried out a load of chilli peppers from our plants in a dehumidifier, which was great, and this morning I flaked them up and put them in a pepper grinder.

And then I got chilli powder in not one, but both eyes!

I basically can't see through my left eye right now, and both are in agony...

Meanwhile, things are getting so bad in the UK under Boris, that even the DLR drivers are threatening to unionise and take industrial action...

Bringing Home the Books

It is early spring in the valley of Imladris, and a group of traders has just left, heading south to Gondor, when a message comes to the young mage Luorien to attend the library as soon as possible. Something is up!

Callout to roleplayers between games. See my previous toot. Terfs and mras need not apply.

@geekylou if you don't know the system but are interested, thats fine. I can deal with statistics. If you have ideas and can read the pdfs i send, we'll be fine.

@geekylou I'm not as young as most of you so take that into account before applying, especially if your role play has a sexual component . I'm 50, and my partner is 40. This might or might not matter.
The game will be played as best arranged. Email, tabletop or virtual depending where people are based. (2/*)
