I enjoy watching The Witcher but my god Jaskier is so annoying.
I walked over 7km on my trip around town today. Now I'm home and Mr woof really wants second walkies. I probably should go now before I sieze up and can't move at all.
Well you are rusty after all, so good call. 😅
During the axe throwing marathon on Sunday i managed to walk 15km haha
Hey @[email protected] I made a fish dish too.
My tuna Mornay
I have to have a phone call with someone for this job... Ughhhhhhhh I don't wanna!
But I've gotta rip the band-aid off soon.
Tell you what, being in the office has got me feeling like a rat in a warming pot. Had to do a fire safety tour and spent the entire time thinking how embarrassing it would be to have a panic attack on my first day back.
Finding time for driving lessons has been proving really hard but I’m going insane being stuck at home with the baby all day. I think I need to brave figuring out the bus with pram etc because then at least I could get to the shopping centre or train station but I’m scared :-(
Imagine watching "Judgement at Nuremberg", a moving film about the Nazi war crime trials. Imagine it was rewritten so that the judges are presented as conflicted and incompetent, the case presented that Goring, Speer , Ribbentrop and other architects of the war could not be tried because there was no laws against it at the time. Also that the Allies were really responsible because they were imperial powers and anyway, they knew Germany was going to attack and could have stopped them. And did you hear about Dresden? The Allies bombed a city. So it was ALL the Allies responsibility and choice. Not Germany's fault at all. Then you read the credits and the movie was made by Nazis.
Kind of like all the shit Russia is saying now to justify attacking Ukraine and committing genocide.
Kind of like the shit every single one of these genocidaire presidents say at the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague. "You have no right to try me, I do not recognise you. You are the criminals, not me. Also, not guilty. "
That's what watching "Tokyo Trial " on Netflix is like. Imagine my shock when I read the credits and the series was partly made by the Japanese government. ( no shock at all, just a little that they have the gall to say it out loud when they have been told a hundred times ) Shame on them.
If it were in my purview I would make formal diplomatic complaints.
Don't watch Tokyo Trial, it's the worst propaganda.

sorry for the rant , for some reason genocide denial gets me upset
gotta say.. I was a lot more nervous with the dentist hacking away on my teeth with a scraper and his drill when there's no anaesthesia involved. Glad to not have a numb face for the rest of the day though!

In other news, just had a young guy in hi vis gear knocking on the door doing the 'we're doing some painting for your neighbours, noticed you needed some work done, would you like a quote' spiel.
Suuuuure, mate.
