The final challenge jokerless is really really tough - I just got to the seventh boss and he whipped me - #balatro - I'm still blaming @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com for getting me back on the balatro dragon

Taking photos of lightning is mainly an exercise in lots of black photos - but occasionally luck and timing combine and you manage to capture a strike! This was from the epic storm we "enjoyed" whilst in St-Tropez in early September 2024.

When it's freezing cold and gloomy outside - it is good to look back over the summer holiday photos and remember when the sun, sea and sky looked completely different - Cassis, France, August 2024

Just finished Othercide by @lightbulbcrew.bsky.social very enjoyable, very stylish, a little dark and disturbing, interesting turn-based mechanics - a rogue-like XCOM-like without the base building - unlocking memories and repeating the same battles as you get more powerful - ok what's next? #gaming
