eBay decides to play up as placing a bid with less than a minute to go. Nearly had a rx6600 xt for £140

When it wasn't pissing down it was quite pleasant.

Happy new office furniture day although I got to share it with the kids. Also while able to hide a few retro handhelds from the missus. No hiding the 3 pcs.

Having fun on Assetto Corsa @nakamuramartin.bsky.social

My wallet feeling nervous youtu.be/QTxsMwZHxIU?...

Back safely from the first skate park run of the year. Running time felt bit shorter than usual and few signal issues. Putting it down to first run for over 6 months. Charging batteries again and if weather holds will do a test in the garden later.

New job starts Monday. Starting to get the new job nerves, especially as more office based. However there is a Tim Hortons at the end of the street so sure @pablo0151.bsky.social would agree it's a good move

Fleets out of storage. Have got upgraded oil shocks to go on the boys trucks. However as they get bashed up the skate park waiting till they break one of the stock shocks first.

Jet washer broke now. To be fair is over 10 years old and was expecting this. Not in the mood for buying another outdoor appliance today so going to pack up and play some steam deck.

Lawnmower finally packed up today. Immediately ordered a new one from Toolstation took the old one to the dump and picked up the new one. Told the missus. How do you know it's a good one, good deal, read reviews etc.... It's a £50 lawnmower if it shit will put up with it for a year then get another

Have put over 7 hours into hyper echelon on the deck now. Still not very good at it but the constant upgrading of your ship keeps me going back. Not sure if id recommend it but if like me you claimed it free with epic games it's worth a go

The British press will no longer attend Max Verstappen’s future press conferences. This is not intended as a show of support towards the journalist Verstappen ejected at the Japanese GP, merely a lack of interest in a driver sitting ninth in the standings.

Shorter run this morning after Sunday's 15k run.

A little afternoon walk.

Longest run both distance and time. Ready for Easter Sunday lunch up the in laws now.

What's up with used car prices? 10 grand for a 12 year old Giulietta in a local garage. I bought the red one for 8k 9 years. Ok, white one bigger engine and more extras but the white one now 12 years old mine was 4 years old with 26k miles when bought it

In the middle of a fortnight off due to changing jobs. Have no idea what day it is or what's going on apart from what endurance races got left to do on gt 3

Love these trucks I got 3 in my household. Great starter truck, fast enough, really sturdy, spares easily available on Ali and dirt cheap.

Nice to see despite all the price increases the best budget RC car is still under £40

Get home from a run, kids still asleep Get out of the shower, kids still asleep Have breakfast, kids still asleep Turn on steam deck,..........

Trying to get more consistency in my running. Got a target I would love to hit by the start of July

Guy in front of me at the tyre place as got a 2004 Rover Streetwise and getting four tyres on it. Sure four tyres is more than the cars worth

Nevermind in the time waiting for tyres have put the clock in the car forward an hour

Anyone else drive 20 mins to go to the tyre place they know. Rather than use the one less than a mile away?

That sub 70 min 10k getting closer. Considering I not run 10k for around a month nice suprise to knock 2 mins off the pb.

Don't get eBay. Was watching a used arc b570 graphics card. Ended at £182. Currys currently sell it new for £190. Who's buying secondhand to save £8???

"Wait. I'm confused about the movie. So, the cops knew that internal affairs was setting them up?"

Can't blame shoe laces today. Just slow. Body not used to consecutive days running after less running over the winter months.

Considering had to stop to retie my laces three times happy with a sub 7 minutes per k pace

Pentagon challenge done.

Getting tempted to splash the cash on a Ryzen 5 5600xt and RTX 5060

Day 2 sat here waiting

First pre work morning run for ages. Need to get back in a routine especially when start the new job as it's hybrid.

Sat here waiting for HR to confirm my calculations are correct and my last working day will be this Thursday. Already told my manager not going to the office for a team meeting tomorrow

Been a while but pentagon challenge update. First full season at Southampton and qualified for the Champions League. Won't bore you with the wonder kids I signed this year, but look at this guy joining for £40 mil could go up to £72 mil with clauses though.

When you have Real Madrid Home at 8 and Nirvana Tribute Band Practice at 10

Starting new job next month that will involve office days which means some train travel. Tempted to get one of these as more pocketable than my decade old kindle

I remember when new phone day was fun. Now it's an endless loop of attempting to log into apps, the having to reset your password

New phone day. Third redmi note after a 10 5g and a 12. Pretty good for the price and suit my needs. Although are getting more expensive my 10 5g was around £109 this was £200

The new Frederick Forsyth novel not up too much

First run I can remember in just shorts and t shirt. Yeah and socks and shoes, before you all start

First run since Sunday, perhaps should have done a shorter one, bit sore now.

Given up games. Started reading again. Peak middle age

Hacked my old Kindle yesterday. So can now use any format ebook and also get these cool screensavers. Lack of a light on it will probably mean end up still reading on my tablet

Final decade championship on New Star GP done. Fun game well suited to the steam deck

On the beach in February

Think that's my first run without Strava finding some sort of achievement. Think that means I'm a proper runner now

Although as all this pc been built on the cheap finding second hand bargains. Tempted to just keep the money until said bargains appear

So using my bonus for just under £500 could get a Ryzen 7 5800xt and a Rx 9060 xt 8gb to replace my Ryzen 5 4500 and RTX 2060. Worth it? Or better off saving some coins and getting a 5600x

On the train going to the office for the second time in three years for a three hour meeting where have strong feelings going to be moved to a more office based schedule. Have had better Mondays
