Happy New year to everyone.

I can honestly say that this group of ragtag nutjobs has made my year a while lot better.

Looking forward to playing and talking and even meeting with you all in the new year!

I second what tusk said!

Happy New Year everyone. Can't wait for more games with you all in 2020!

Happy New Year all!

First day back in work. Thank you past Baggly for cleaning your desk. Its so shiny.

Now to ruin it with paperwork!

Necro

Nice easy start back for me, finished at 4 today and not back till Monday

Plans for the weekend include being lazy and attempting to give up smoking for the bazillionth time :pac:

sullivlo

I'm not back to school until Monday, but have a metric **** tonne of stuff to do here. I was also off school sick for the week before we broke (I had the flu) so have to catch up on corrections / reports / etc too! Currently trying to find space on my bookshelves for my Christmas books haul...

Baggly

How many books, sull?

sullivlo

5.

Night Boat to Tangier.
Gutsy Women.
Talking to Strangers.
I'm the Border, so I am.
The Education of an Idealist.

I dont think ive read a full book in the past 12 months.

sullivlo

I just checked my kindle unlimited... I borrowed/returned 72 books since 3/1/19... I'd say I read maybe 80% of them. Then on top of that, I read some paper books and then other books that I bought on my kindle. I'd say I probably read 80 books this year. Maybe more.

However!!! I don't watch movies. I rarely watch much TV (beyond the odd Netflix binge). I don't play any mad computer games or anything. So my main outlet is reading. Team that with insomnia, being a teacher so having 3 months off, and an ability to speed read chick-lit, I chew them up.

Also, disclaimer: about 75% of the books on my kindle unlimited are chick-lit that don't require thinking. My non-kindle unlimited books are a strict 50/50 mix of fiction/non-fiction, and my paper books are 90% non-fiction.

quickbeam

44 books for me last year. Was a record year. Very pleased.

Baggly

I probably do watch too much TV / Netflix / Movies tbh

quickbeam

Depends what you're watching. Nothing wrong with quality films and TV.

That's so sad!

I'm not back until Monday, thanks past Triceradots for treating yourself to a two week break!

Although I did actually do a day's work on Tuesday from home cos I've been putting it off for a month and had no motivation so doing it at home in my jammies with chocolate seemed like a good way to just push through!

Ah i know - i just think its so easy to digest, its affecting my attention span and thus depriving me of some books i want to bed down into (in a general sense).

I've actually been inspired by the show to start the Witcher books so it can work both ways

Previously other series being announced have made me pick up the book before or during the show too

TheValeyard

Show is great. Games were amazing. Particularly The Wild Hunt. Show made me go back and play the game.

He's gone to the daily prison camp. I've got a jump starter device that I'll charge and give a go.

To improve my day, I treated myself to a Butlers coffee, bagel, and now, going to wipe out some lesser species while playing Stellaris.
