    Went for a walk today in Saunton Sands. Climbed a couple of massive dunes, one I went up the near vertical face of. Saw some amazing views and got some great pictures. Wouldn't have thought this possible just a few months ago, wouldn't even have cared to try, but a lot of hard work (through physio and the mod) is paying off.

    I had family that used to live in Redruth. Probably miles away, but the dunes were just like that. Proper dream as a kid playing in those things !

    Well, until my dad and uncle discovered an enormous unexploded bomb and the whole camp site had to be evacuated lmfao. They were in the paper and everything. They dug up the tail end and my uncle wanted to **** it with a spade lmao. There wouldn't have been much left of them !

    I don't know exactly where it was but I do remember there was a church buried under the sand with the crucifix on the roof poking out of the sand? Oh and I got sunstroke and spent the third week puking lol.

    Associate creative director at ubisoft, in charge of level design for td2, saw my mod on cowcotland and shared it on twitter.

    I'm running out of room for all these chufty badges. :hehe:

    My wife just cracked 3 million followers on Chinese Tiktok and has been invited to audition to compete on a debate and a comedy roast tv show.
    It's pretty amazing as she only started 5 months ago and barely used social media at all before.

    You’re in my neck of the woods now boy.. I’m a stones throw away. How disconcerting...... for you.

    I bagged a Sony HIFI system... bloke was offering it up for £20 I took his hand off. Amp alone is worth £80-£100 so decent resale value, I’m already in profit 24 hours later

    coming up to the end of the month, bank holiday means paid the following Friday and I’m not desperately in need of it... Payday will be spent mulling over quickbooks before panic paying bills.

    Well if it makes you feel better there's a very gentle calming coastal breeze here, the sun shining through an absence of cloud and off into the distance is clear blue calming waves of the Atlantic Ocean lapping into the horizon....

    Relief that my daughter has been awarded decent GCSE results that reflect her efforts and has a place at 6th form where she wanted to be. It's been a weird build up, and we can now move on.

    I hope other families have had a good GCSE day, I know it hasn't been plain sailing for all.

    My daughter's school has an odd 6th form admission policy. They have 270 in year 11 and 200 in years 12 & 13, BUT they only take 100 form existing pupils and offer the other half of the places to pupils from other schools in the town and next door town...

    In other news, my late to arrive PC kit arrived today having found out that we'd not had a Royal Mail red 'yo were out' card for it last Friday.
    A quick trip to the collection office at 7am resolved that and it's now up & running on the bench.

    @DeadP1xels, she's the other one in the family with a Cornish name. We couldn't find a suitable one for our son who arrived first.

    Despite having multiple copies—on their tablets and Nintendo Switch—my boys really like the Xbox360 edition of Minecraft. Last week an incident left the disk horrible scratched and unreadable. Since then while watching random videos and multiple applications of Novus Plastic Polish I managed to restore disk functionality.

    Caught the cat out of the corner of my eye drinking from her new water fountain.

    I'd removed the top part and pump so it's effectively just a big bowl but i'll give her a week or so and reassemble. Then some time later i'll try switching it on for a bit.

    Slowly, slowly, catchy pussycat.

    Life part II started. Can't go into details yet but I can give a hint: massive changes are coming.

    Time to be happy and live.
