Upside down and back-to-front...
Jul. 5th, 2025 09:43 pmA year ago, I was frustrated with my laptop's timing, reflecting on PS2 games with female PCs, joining a new project, and watching Psych.
Today after breakfast, husband suggested a walk. We were expecting a video call from daughter after dinner but that meant we had the morning free. It was starting to rain after an hour or so, so we grabbed some dinner at the son's place of work and headed home. We ate our food and I got a text from daughter saying they were going shopping but would call when they got back.
I cleaned the bathroom and downstairs loo, then played Royal Match while waiting for daughter. And waited... and waited... By 3pm I was getting worried, so texted her. 'Oh, sorry - I got distracted looking at toys for Granddaughter...'.
About 4pm, we finally got our video call. Turned out they'd been to Speke Retail, got home - and daughter went off to Belle Vale on her own. In the meantime, I hadn't done my cleaning or got to play ECHH. Why not call us before they went out, then everyone could have got on with their day? Part of me gets a great deal of satisfaction out of knowing Dragon Daughter has a Dragon Daughter - welcome to my world :D
After tea, I cleaned the kitchen, then had a bath, then finally got to ECHH. I can't progress in the new area and need to find someone to help - but the game doesn't give me any clue as to who, or where they are. I did recruit my librarian, though :D And I have a new companion who has a strange idea of 'fun'.
Now I'm watching some old Doctor Who. We have werewolves... And 1970s attitudes...
