Week 204 - Kong

  • I took the day off on Tuesday for a well-needed lunch in London with old friends/colleagues. The sunny weather had ended but we still polished off many bottles of wine inside and outside. We should probably try a new restaurant and pub, but it’s all perfectly adequate and it’s the company that matters after all.
  • We booked a specialist cleaner who came to clean our embarrassingly dirty oven. It’s remarkable being able to properly see the food you’re cooking through the glass door.
  • It was “Funky Hair Friday” at the boys’ school. They styled their hair into Mohawks and L sprayed them red which I told them was in tribute to Freddie Ljungberg.
  • Elbow update: I’ve booked a physio session next week to help with my goal to straighten my wonky arm.
  • The boys pooled together their pocket money to download Donkey Kong Bananza on the Switch 2. They’re both several worlds/layers deep now and thoroughly absorbed. It looks stunning but is a little too involved for this 2D gamer.
  • It was our local village fair on Saturday, starting with a parade along the High Street in heavy rain. We joined the school group wearing our waterproofs and holding umbrellas, but by the time we arrived at the fairground C was soaked through and asking to go home. The sun came out later on, but by then he was dry and happy on the sofa (playing Donkey Kong of course).
