MMO player with a chronic inability to finish other games. General nerdy stuff, baking and reading. He/Him. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈
Finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 earlier this evening. Safe to say this is one of my favourite stories from a game in some time.

Very depressing. Very French. Would recommend.

Mail today, but who could it be from? 🤔

Thank you @bearsadventures.bsky.social for the lovely postcard and message!

Continuing with my replay of FFXIV. Before finishing off ARR and heading into Heavensward, I wanted to try get all of the base jobs to 50. Finishing Ninja today means I'm at 2/10!

I enjoyed Lilo & Stich, even if there are a lot of (valid) criticisms about it. However, the himbofication of Pleakley has me feeling…conflicted. 😅

#lfglondon this weekend was a blast and I’m already looking ahead to next time!

I got to meet so many new people, put faces to names I’ve known for ages, and got to spend a weekend in the company of great people with a shared love of World of Warcraft and generally nerdiness. ☺️

I suck at taking pictures, but here’s a couple others took featuring me. 😅

On my way to London for a short solo trip for #LFGLondon. Just a few more hours of travel to go. ☺️

Made significant progress in my replay of Final Fantasy XIV this week. Got my first job to level 50 (Paladin) and made it to the end of the 2.0 content.

Still a long way to go and a lot of content to clear, but it's a nice milestone to reach.

I've been wanting to do so for awhile, but today I've finally hit go on replay of Final Fantasy XIV.

Playing on Light - Odin if anyone wants to say hello!

Very grateful for the company of this old boy these days. Today he turned 11 today though I don’t think he knows that. #dogs

My stomach has decided that food is poison, so I’ve opted for bed and Dungeons & Drag Queens.

First application sent off today for a postgraduate qualification on counselling!

I’ve still got one more to submit (it asks for a lot more info), but once the that’s done the waiting game begins.

Here’s hoping come September I’ll be starting my studies again!

Attempt No.2 at Pepparkakor. Haven’t actually tried them yet as I’m exhausted and just want my bed, but hopefully whenever I get round to my next try I’ve got the recipe details figured out.

Busy day in the kitchen again today. Prepped a marinated soba noodle salad for this week’s lunches, and got a head start on some baking and dinner prep for tonight.

Trying new things with my cooking lately. I’m never very good at the presentation side, but it tasted good which is (to me) the important part.

Crispy tofu with a sticky honey sauce, egg fried rice with edamame beans, and some pickled carrots on the side.

Had a busy day of meal prepping and baking. No pictures of the actual food (a marinaded noodle salad, sticky honey chicken and egg fried rice), but I also baked a carrot cake which is a bit more photogenic.

More baking today. Partly for my niece who’s starting over, partly for myself. 😅

More Sunday baking. I’ve decided to try find something to bake every week if I can, and since we still have an excess of frozen apples from the 2024 garden crop it seemed as good a time as any to use some up.

This was an attempt at apple cinnamon scones with a crumble top.

I did a challenge thingy which is the closest thing to hardcore WoW playing as I’m ever likely to get. 😝

Finally got round to booking my travel and hotel for LFG London in May. First solo trip to London so I’ve given myself an extra day to explore and hopefully head to a show or something. ☺️

Decided to try my hand at baking some biscuits, specifically Swedish Pepparkakor. Definitely something I can improve on (they’re supposed to be smaller and I think they could use a bit more ginger) but I’m not mad at them for a first attempt.
