    Was up at 4am the other day and noticed a bunch of youngins playing on the communal lawns next door. Maybe six of them and two Mums as well as an older sibling keeping its distance. Was lovely to watch them hooning about, rolling down the grassy slope and pronking about after each other without a care in the world.

    We have a single young one who sleeps in our neighbour's garden but have never seen so many all gamboling about.

    Decided not to mention it to the dog.

    This particular neighbour once invited the other owners (4 maisonettes) to an election night dinner (possibly the last but one) and blithely assumed we were all also tories by virtue of the fact we live in a tory borough. I mean, I work in fin services regulatory advice so I get it for me but the lesbian couple who are both ex-social workers... seems like a leap. In any case, she has always been alarmingly out of touch and seemed to embrace a casual nastiness, not to mention treating the rest of us like employees when anything needed doing around the place. We generally tolerate her but she's stepped over the line with my wife (who has zero tolerance for b*llsh*t) a few times and been told her fortune, as my Dad would say.

    I'd love to know what my rabidly Tory old neighbour makes of all this. That would mean I'd have to talk to her though and I really don't want to do that.

    Playing Ghost of Tsushima on PC - is it me or is it just Far Cry with swords? Anyway, mildly diverting.

    Fallout proggy had got me excited to play the FO4 next-gen update until I found out what a damp squib it looks to be.

    Anyway, got bored of BG3 (or possibly overwhelmed) and went back to play Shogun 2 for the last few weeks. Great game.

    Having been thoroughly acquainted with the 'Embankment Wall of Wind' over the years, on Monday I was accosted by it's chippy upstart City cousin. The 'London Bridge WoW' kinda sneaks up and punches just as you pass Adelaide House. Went from a decent lick to sideways to a crawl. Luckily it was deserted at lunchtime. Think its only a storm phenomenon though.

    Lotta debris about this morning obviously as well as a few trees on the Waterlink - surprised it wasn't worse.

    Yup - The DLC is great and huge and I'm having a blast. Then again I've been playing since launch and having a blast so I'm not really objective. One of my favourite games of all time.

    I watched this for the first time over a few nights. Really enjoyed the start and got gradually less interested as it went on.
