Kostas

Morning. Turns out having 4 espresso martinis continues to not be a great idea for sleeping. Oh well, happy Monday! 😴

Oh the usual. Ate too much food in October, and a very passing acquaintance to the gym... Starting November a bit better. Well done for improving on your goals!

Goats?

Morning. Excellent choice of food traffic light colours! Wish they made them with dark chocolate.

Morning. That's a going into winter blue. 🥶

Morning! Weirdly it feels much earlier than it actually is. One more day to the weekend with some board games on the agenda.

Congratulations!

Tbh, even if you move roots it's still hard. I'm happy for them but also kinda jealous of all the people that settled in their 20s

Me smiling at the top of the hill, trees in the background.

A tall tree by a lake, its leaves golden.

A red mushroom surrounded by autumn leaves.

Very tall pine trees rising up to the sky.

A lovely hike today around Farnham. So good to be out and about again before winter comes for good,

Tory deportation plan would upend Britain Proposing such a radical bill with little public support is a gift to Nigel Farage

Hadn’t, in truth, really absorbed the scale of what the Conservatives are proposing on ILR and immigration more broadly until this week’s Sunday Times interviews. Some thoughts on that in today’s note:

The board game Unfathomable, showing the main ship and some horrible green monsters.

The board of the game Molly's House with pretty Georgian ear iconography and pieces.

An excellent day with some of my favourite games (and a new scandalous one!)

Yeah it's good fun! Thanks!

Morning! Finally a break for a long weekend. I think we have enough games? Just?

Good morning. Happy zombie arising...erm rapture day!

But I haven't seen a few things on your list. I reckon that still would have been there but maybe of the other smaller ones would be surpassed.

It is a great classic!

Always thought of it more as a restaurant thing.

Asahi is an interesting choice for a pub

All of this. It's no good trying to play nice and "understand" why people are espousing racist ideology. We have tried that. We ended up allowing racists to feel emboldened. The only option to confront racism is to call it out. If people don't like being called racist they should stop doing racism.

Totally get it, though I still do doomscroll and read more than I probably should. But I also feel guilty about not saying anything with all *this*. I hate what's being normalised.

Morning. First day back to the office (not work) after ages and it feels like it's back to school time.

A long distance shot of Alex climbing on Queersville. Lots of lovely rocks.

A lovely day on Grit, and the flurries of rain kind of added to the experience.

Good morning! Hope the money is ready for you!

Good morning! Happy -15 degrees day to me 🙁

Good morning! Coffee first thing kind of person then?

I'm disappointed I didn't receive an emergency alert in Greece. Am I not a British citizen worth saving? :⁠-⁠(

I never thought I liked sitting on the beach for hours, till I had a comfy shady lounger and enough coffee/books.

Last day of holidays for a bit. So naturally spent it in bed so far finishing another Slow Horses book. Morning!

A bit rude not to finish the bottle anyway
