Blimey! That was a long time ago!

Our new van with the door slid open, putting the "O" from Octopus in front of the "rgy" of Energy. Oops.

Hello Bluesky 👋👋👋👋🐙👋👋👋👋

A lot of customers have asked us to swim our way over here, so we're dipping our tentacles in.

Give us a follow, we'll be floating around to chat all things green & geeky, make energy fairer, and own up to van printing disasters:

Can definitely be arranged :) Hope you can make it to an Aus-Con this year, as that would be the perfect opportunity:)

Yes I do!

I saw this canal boat and thought of @rutharnold.bsky.social

Love it! Check this out @floyduk.bsky.social :)

Couldn’t be more proud of my daughter Catherine who is studying music at ccsw and who performed for the first time this week. That’s her singing and playing guitar at the front. www.youtube.com/live/vj9m8re...

Went to my first University open day with my daughter yesterday. She's only in year 12 so we're not making the decisions for another year, but I'm hoping that seeing what her next step could be will inspire her for her A Level study.

Humble RPG Bundle: Pathfinder Second Edition Get tabletop role-playing (TTRPG) resources for <em>Pathfinder GM Core</em>, <em>Pathfinder Second Edition Beginner Box: Remastered Edition</em>, and more. Pay what you want & support charity!

If you are looking for a great deal on the new Pathfinder Remastered Core Books, Humble Bundle has a fantastic one going on right now: www.humblebundle.com/books/pathfi...

I tried my hand at making a starter pack for a bunch of the #TTRPG folks that I follow on Bluesky! It skews towards #Pathfinder and #Starfinder because that's what I play, but it is by no means exclusive to those systems. Hopefully somebody finds this to be useful! 🎲

Celebrating submitting the first two assessments for my degree today. Not sure how good they are, but know I will learn a lot from the feedback, and it’s all part of the journey :)

I’ve been taking full advantage of my employer’s summer working policy to work from home for the last 6 weeks. But now it’s back to mandatory two days per week in the office. Not looking forward to the extra commuting time.

What a privilege this evening to get to listen to a world champion brass band rehearse before their next big competition :)

#TheWeekInTory is back, damn you

1. Britain faces a crisis in health, education, farming, energy, housing, childcare, social care, imports, exports, manufacturing, services, debt, growth and infrastructure, so Rishi Sunak announced his grand plan to slightly alter A-Levels

Whew - just made it!

Early start this morning - on a train before 7am to travel across the Pennines. Will be good to be face to face with my colleagues rather than looking at them over a Teams session though :)

This evening I’ve been sitting with my daughter putting all of her mock and actual GCSE exam dates into the family calendar. It’s all getting remarkably real. Tips for keeping a teenager sane through this very busy period of their life? I’m thinking lots of treats and reminders to take time out.

Had my first attempt at GM-ing the Pathfinder 2e Beginner Box last night. My players made it almost to the end of the first floor - we paused just as they were about to enter the last room. I think my players had fun and I enjoyed it rather more than I expected. Looking forward to our next session!

Promotional poster for Crewe Board Gamers charity board game day in support of Dementia UK. The event is being held at the Duke of Gloucester pub in Crewe on Saturday 14th October 2023 from 11am to 5pm.

Just in case there are any board gamers local to Crewe over here - this will be a great event :)

Wondering if I can get the hang of another new social media platform!
