More info required.
What topping is on your pizza ?
I tend to buy basic then add more cheese, tomato, onion etc

A meat feast one

Woke up this morning with a badly dislocated shoulder, an ache in the other arm from another booster jab yesterday, an abcess in my mouth, and a really bad headache.

To top all that, I thought I was playing Wordle and now Paypal has charged me for 103 tickets to see Mamma Mia!

It turned out that STALLS was not the Wordle word of the day.

Rats. I've just seen a nice pair of jeans. However my New years resoluton was to not buy anymore jeans so I will walk away from them . I am being a good girl 🤣

Ok I made up the bit about paypal, and the bad shoulder and bad arm are the same side, otherwise the usual sorry carcass is today feeling a bit sorrier for itself. I feel the need for a deep wallow and a return to bed.

Think I’ll have spaghetti hoops on toast. Change from beans

Are you sure you and welsh dragon are not uni students?
When my daughter was at uni I think that’s all she ate . Spaghetti or beans on toast one day then pizza the next and just kept alternating . Oh and carrot cake, well you have to have veg in your diet don’t you . 😂😂

Been out for a slow 30 miles with nice views around the Dalmeny estate. Got back in time to see the second half of Auchinleck Talbot v Hearts. I don’t normally watch football but I quite enjoyed it.

My new slippers have finally arrived.
They said they would be here on Monday.
Knock on the door 30 minutes ago and it was the DPD man. Good job I was in.

They're very warm!

I stopped eating meat as soon as I had to cook it for myself as a student and face what it actually is!

I used to make a huge vat of veggie curry on Sunday afternoon and have a bowl of that every every evening. There was just enough to last a week, so I only cooked once a week, apart from boiling some rice each time.

By the time I left uni I was down to 10 st 10 lbs, which is a bit scrawny for a medium build man 6' 1" tall (68 kg, 1.86 m).



Ooh, exciting - I just managed to get a copy of my fledgling puzzle game working on my new phone!

The changes I made to the game to only use a screen's 'safe area' worked. (Avoid displaying in areas containing selfie cameras, notifications, curved corners etc.) The game loads up nice and quickly on this modern phone. My slow old phone's screen went blank for about 5 or 6 seconds while the game was loading, which was disconcerting and irritating. I'll still try to make it load faster on the old phone though so people with similar older devices would have no problems with it.

I am looking at this realistically - this game is never going to be another viral hit like 'Wordle'. I can't see huge numbers of people wanting to play it, but I will try to get it onto the Google Play Store in the next few months anyway and see if I can get a significant number of people to play regularly. If I could earn a few hundred pounds a year from it then that would be enough to pay for 3 or 4 trips a year to Devon.

There is a text-based game further down my game development pipeline. I knocked up a prototype years ago to prove the concept and it was quite interesting. I don't want to give away any details though in case anybody rips off the idea and does it before I get round to it. Let's just say it is like one of those wordfinder puzzles on steroids!

Go on. If it makes you feel any better I ordered another pair of trainers!

I had another walk earlier so that’s about 11 miles for the day. No wonder I keep buying shoes. Lol.
