Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Just saying that some (many?) couples over 50 have less 'home-bound' lives than my wife & I do... I'm 54 & my wife is 15 yrs older than I am.

 

I ate Yorkshire puddings covered in maple syrup for breakfast (the real stuff, not that Aunt Jemima fluid the colonists would serve you with a greasy cake fried in a pan.). I must restrain myself or else I’ll eat the other half of the batch.

 

After five years I've finally bought a tablet.

I've wanted one for ages now but wanted something quite big. That meant iPad pro and the prices are jokes. Ended up finding an 11.6" Android tablet with every bell and whistle for £170. It's not top spec, but it should do well being 10 core with 128gb storage and 4gb ram. It has a 1080p IPS screen so should be respectable enough.

Looking forward to some Wii emulation.

 

It was nice to have a break for a couple of hours .

Yeah that's an old habit... I don't remember which games, but I sometimes found that quick-load doesn't load the last auto-save and instead only loads the last quick-save; whereas if you let the game automatically load for you when you die, then it picks up the last save, whether it's a quick-save, auto-save, or full save... Therefore, f- it: just blow yourself up instead!

Plus this compact keyboard I have doesn't have dedicated F-keys and I instead need a Fn key combo...

 

You know you can get an actual Wii for not much more than a tenner, right?

 

Way too much hassle and mess man.

I'll use it for everything obs. I don't even think I own a TV with av inputs any more.

 

Had an email from JustGiving earlier...



Eh... what...?

So I did check; it's legit, and it's from a very specific donor. (Telling you who that is would probably reveal information about me that I don't really like to blab across the internet. If you're really that interested then it won't take you long to look it up and work it out.)

That takes my donation total £802.09 against a target of £500. Absolutely blown away by that, it's absolutely incredible. Considering the very personal connection this charity has, I got proper emotional when I saw that email and looked up who it was from...

 

Just won a £25 Amazon gift card in office Xmas raffle

 

Finally got my phone screen repaired. Kit took three times as long as necessary to get here, considering it was just one state over.

 

This side of the pond Yorkshire puddings are covered in gravy or made large enough to be filled with a thick hearty soup.

The idea of anything sweet going near them makes my Yorkshire genes boil.

Mmmmm Yorkies...

 

Native American here. I had to google for two hours to get a baseline understanding of Yorkshire puddings.

*laughs in frybread*

 

Yorkshire puddings wi out uther'n beef in't raight, ah tells thee...

 

Yorkshire pudding and golden syrup. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

That's the beauty of them - good with savoury stuff, good with sweet stuff. God-tier.

 

I didn't know Yorkshire pudding was actually invented to sit below a rotary spit to catch all of the fat and meat juices.

 

MadCatz Rat 4 was delivered today. Was playing on a broken two button before. This is great.

 

I thought they were called dutch babies that side of the pond... because y'all are weird...

 

Aye lad.

I will and I won't thankyou verymuch.

That sounds delicious.

Brings back memories of dripping sandwiches as a kid. Nom.

 

Frybread isn't analogous to Yorkshire puddings, it's just superior. Fight me.
