1) Quite a productive week at work. The new To Do list software is working well so far and I've been more focused of late. We have some interesting projects in the bidding stage. That is good.
2) MLW was in Poland this week with work. The Captain and I hung out. He's been really lovely company these last few months and in particular whilst his mum was away. I got some great chat. He told me he is learning Viking songs as part of his project at work. He even sung some of them to me. We did some homework. I saw a little bit of him doing judo. We saw Grandad. Mostly we watched Ultimate Beastmaster which is an obstacle race programe.
According to the Captain "that guy from Ultimate Beastmaster" did Blue Planet and not David Attenburgh. "That guy" turns out to be Sylvester Stallone who adds a lifetime of natural history broadcasting to his Oscar for Best Actor.
3) This week at Games I have been teaching Hanabi. Hanabi is a co-operative game where you try to work out what cards or tiles you have from clues given by your team-mates adn then play them in the right order. It is a game that encourages card counting and waggling eye-brows. Good fun in a serious sort of way.
4) This weekend brings the Calcutta Cup to town. MLW, her nephew and I are off to Murrayfield to see which form of false dawn the current Scotland team will be delivering. MLW's friend's son is on the bench. He might play. He might not. There might be beer. There might not. The nephew might introduce his (status undetermined) lady friend to his aunty. He might not.
5) I have finished watching Brooklyn 99 and have given myself a television dilemma by watching the Good Place. I think MLW might like it but I'm not sure. Engaging her would mean going back a few episodes - not a huge problem but I have a bit of a fix to get.
