I did get a response from Microids. However, it seems like a stock response. The usual “Make sure you’ve solved all the puzzles… Follow a walkthrough… Never quit while game is saving…”

In short, less than helpful. *shrugs in person-who-has-been-gaming-for-decades"

Already tried.

Thanks. I’ve just sent them a message about what’s happened. Maybe I have the dubious honour of being the first to encounter this particular bug 😕

The amount of commercial satellites going up (and coming down, with unknown consequences for our upper atmosphere) is alarming right now. Hopefully this can be used when a more sensible approach becomes recognised. Kessler Effect.

Regarding Tesco’s. If you’ve a screenshot of a pal’s card’s barcode thay should work just as well as having a card yourself. If you find yourself needing to use them.

Sgonniel indeed.

I’m interested in the fact that they’ll be reforesting that land. Best scenario is a combination wildlife habitat and human getaway. If they can reestablish a red squirrel population at some point that would be great.

I have not yet got into the, daunting, world of knitting. Am in the research stage. But I would prefer to work with natural materials. However much more difficult the learning curve might be.

If anyone is viewing this on Masto I’m not sure what to make of how images are being fetched. Second time I’ve seen this happen!

A nickname for that Starmer that stuck in my head is “Lego Thatcher”.

If the Labour party were what they were supposed to be a lot of Scotland would be all for them but they aren’t and recovery seems unlikely in the immediate future. Whatever that party once was it has been eviscerated and it’s corpse occupied by tories and chancers.

Will have to take a note of that sherry. Think my brain is trying to hibernate 😄

☕ Not cracked into the “cheer” yet but planning on buying some sherry. Granny used to drink it so it’s a bit of yearly sentimentality on my part. 🍸

Hope everyone is doing well. How are you all?

Great news! Hopefully human-composting will be next. Have been following the topic via Caitlin Doughty’s channel “Ask a Mortician”. Very informative (though US centric).

On mobile I can strongly recommend using an app like Tubular for watching YouTube. Still have to use YT itself to comment or anything but.

The men’s team really did well. Am not even that into sports but that was exciting.

Better for the butterflies to leave your winter grass a bit wild anyway. The caterpillars can hibernate there.

About 21 - 27 in Scottish temperatures.

Definitely should re-evaluate council tax on a lot of places. Think it was last done in the 90s. Agree on the gradual approach, and being careful not to land average and low income folk with a horrific bill.

Noticed that the wind lasted longer than first predicted. Still doesn’t seem to have cause as much damage as I’d expected. Maybe Èowyn cleared out all the loose stuff first.
