No it's not Shady, so no need to tell a friend. But after three weeks of downtime, I'm back on the airwaves and amazingly still remember what I'm doing (and which buttons do which), which helps a lot when you're manning the show by yourself.
DURING THE DOWNTIME
-I wrote. A lot. So much so in fact that I actually finished the first draft of my latest book effort entitled Last Thief Standing. Now just to edit up all 80k+ words into some kind of action packed page burner and off we go. (Note: Like all authors, I hate editing, gah what a chore. Also I will update you as soon as it's ready to rock and roll!)
-I bought another mower. Yep, I now have four. Three that sit there in
a state of dismantlement and one that starts first time every time and only
stops when it either runs out of juice or I run out of lawn. You do not want
to know how much time I sunk into playing around with the other three just to
get one of the useless things started to no avail. But hey, the lawn doesn't
look luck Guns and Roses could sing a song about it (note: Not Paradise City)
and this will help come rental inspection time soon.
(A big shout out to
Lu who told me there was a bloke in Wodonga that refurbishes mowers and
BJ Mowers who
was that bloke, mower works like a charm!)

-I painted up some Warhammer stuff. The last time I painted up an official
Games Workshop Warhammer Fantasy model? I'm thinking circa age 15 when they
realised that High Elf and Gobbo starter set, so that's about 19 to 20 years
ago. I'm still not the greatest miniature painter by any stretch of the
imagination but it sure is therapeutic.
Will I actually play it one
day? Let me finish painting the pieces first.

-I finally got into Cyberpunk 2077. Mother of the cyber gods is this a
horribly addictive game! Having grown up with Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyber
Generation (which got a little weird I'll be honest) this game is right in my
ballpark and as good (and action packed!) as the missions are, half the fun is
roaming Night City looking for trouble. Oooh look, a cyber psycho! Time to
reach for my shotgun! Oh look, cops in a fire fight with another gang, maybe I
could help? Time to reach for my shotgun! Oh look, something happening over
there...better reach for...oh here it is, my shotgun!
Now that it's all
patched and working, it's brilliant! (Although I need to set myself rules
about getting stuff done before playing it again otherwise there goes a whole
heap of hours in a flash..)
-I also started a blog about being one of the worst coaches in the world when it comes to virtual sports, rewatched some classic Dr Who of the Christopher Eccleston era and continued to build the world's most problematic F1 Car. It's been an action packed 3 weeks for sure!
PRESS THIS, PLAY THAT, HANG ON, GOOD LUCK

| In need of both sleep and a shave in that order |
It's been three weeks without an early morning alarm so I just knew it'd be a
rough start, full of waking moments and quick checks to make sure I hadn't
slept in.
And guess what? I didn't!
I also managed to do the show without a hitch which is quite impressive given
the lack of sleep or a co-host to bounce off (Lu's still in Italy and returns
to the show come mid next week.)
A big shout out to Steve Molk from
TVblackbox who
suggested I really am missing out on things by passing on Gogglebox. I really
don't think I am - after enjoying Sandman, getting confused easily but still
enjoying Westworld and hanging out the GOT prequel, a show about watching
people watching shows really doesn't seem that appealing to me.
Now that I know the alarms work just fine, I should sleep much better tonight!
Wish me luck!
-Almigo
