My inlaws got this a few weeks back and paid them £3k.... this was less than a year after they were scammed out of their life savings.

Knew I recognised it!

It is superb. A very different beast to the Mandalorian which I still really enjoyed.

Anyone else notice the Barbican used in the latest episode, artfully integrated of course?

So sorry to hear that. She looks like a sweetheart.

Just given our boy a stroke and he looked at me and huffed before curling back up. Bless him.

Wasn't it. Superb.

Was followed home along the Waterlink Way on Tuesday by a guy singing 'band on the run' at the top of his lungs and very, very much out of tune. He was even good enough to speed up and slow down to make sure he stayed close enough for me to hear him well. Definitely high on life.

I was one of those players who had no issues from the start (laptop). It suffered from outrageous hype and overreach that no game would live up to. That said I found the characters and missions really engaging, gameplay is great - different builds make for genuinely different ways of playing. The world design and atmosphere (and soundtrack) are amazing and honestly a long way ahead of almost any other game I've played. The world needs to be a bit more immersive (more stuff to do perhaps) but that is minor. It has some genuinely moving moments. Perhaps not on a par with RDR2 but not far off in some instances, imo. I've sunk hundreds of hours into it and its a world I still like going back to.

I've just replayed it following the update. Its a brilliant game but in pure single player it gets very easy towards the final third. Even with Juliannas invading it is still very hit and miss. Lots of fun to be had in PvP if you get a decent match up.

Saw her described on reddit as not having a coherent thought in her head. Like a pidgeon staring at a rubiks cube.

If anyone is near Toys Hill it is a breadbasket at the moment. Went on the bank holiday and bumped into a friend who was picking and came back with tons of 'something' (she only knew the Czech names) which made a lovely soup.

We go daughter (8) in front, me behind. I feel I can spot potential problems and call them out to her but she is pretty good already (she's been riding to school on the roads for a few years now). Sadly the car brains in Bromley council have removed the lockdown cycling infrastructure on our route making it back into a rat run of speeding drivers so we have to go on the pavement for parts. I tend to run a little wide to ward off traffic and so they can see her in front of me.

This fella was definitely more squat. Lovely looking dogs though I'd say.

First time meeting an Australian cattle dog in BPP on Monday (part blue heeler, part red heeler apparently). Owner described it as a Mad Max dog! Very strange but very handsome looking fellow, built like a tank and wiiiide. The poodle wanted to say hello, as he does with everyone bar huskies and black labs, but had to call him back as the other one was nervous. Looked as if he'd take off a leg if he nipped you.

Nearly taken out by an impatient (non-emergency) ambulance last night. Decided he couldn't wait for the car in front at the junction and pulled out across my path. Just managed to lift my wheel out of the way as he sliced across me. Definitely getting reported.

That stay.....

We use Lily's Kitchen Woofbrush seaweed chews. They come in different sizes. Seems to have made a visible difference to Comet's teeth and he loves them. Before we had seaweed powder that went in his food. Not sure that did anything at all.

Thanks for the warning. There was a family with out of control dangerous dogs in Norwood country park not so long ago too. We don't tend to walk the boy there as we have better closer options but we are up there now and again.

Don't know if anyone has been to the current exhibition at the Barbican Curve but one of the way-out ideas for saving the planet was to have everyone living in a huge megacity and not allowed out to the rest of the planet so it can 'heal'. Seems like a solid idea with no downsides or potential issues.

Poor lad. Ours has had two sore paws in succession having not had one ever before. Seems like the super dry ground / grass is making things worse although second one may have been a bee sting. All better now and luckily the last one coincided with the heat so he wasn't going far anyway.

Not been a good week for the mice around our house. One was found drowned in the drip bucket under our outside tap and another had been left in the middle of our path by one of the local cats, partially eviscerated. They do seem to be enjoying my new compost heap though. Always surprise one or two when I take out the leftovers.

I'm so sorry. Keeping everything crossed for him and you.

Through rigorous scientific study (one subject) I have determined that by far the most dangerous part of my journey is the mile between home and the Waterlink Way. Close passes, ignoring my signals, squeezing me at pinch points, ignoring right of way at roundabouts, pulling out without looking. A mile of pure joy. Not sure what it is that makes it different to the rest of London but I'm putting it down to the 'Kent' factor.

An interesting, if short, article on an area you don't generally see so much about unless you're looking. Quite staggering stuff really.

I'm surprised it took you so long...
