Social media influenza. Lover of #AdventureGames 🖱️ #GamesWotForgot 🕹️ #GamesWTF 🕹️⁉️ #FakeBookTitleFriday 📚 Wanted to Open That Trapdoor. Didn't. There was something down there...😯
Now I'm winding up the sale of my folks' house I thought I'd send the clothes I've accumulated here over the past few months back by post. Less weight to carry, free up my suitcase for a few valuables etc I think they 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 have delivered the wrong box to me😂🤣

Perusing the ancient family dictionary, and delighted to find both "Dickensian" and "Electron" in its list of new words☺️
Aaand collapse⚰️ That's the last difficult part of this house sale done, everything from hereon is merely annoying. Swapped a heavy rucksack full of books for a heavy rucksack full of snacks and enough beer to make me either fall over or be pleasantly merry for two evenings. Now: Feet Up. Games🕹️🥰
Matneee@matneee.bsky.social · yesterdayThis morning's task: Take Books To Charity Shop! Complicated by me not driving. But I do have an enormous rucksack. 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗦 •It's very enormous and fits many, many books📚 •So fewer trips 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦 •It's very enormous and fits many, many books📚 •Books are very heavy •I now have to carry the sodding thing
I've just had my choice of watch questioned by a cashier while I was paying for something because "music sounds rubbish on it." I mean, yes. It's a 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩🤣
eBay mansplaining how my money works here, followed by some wildly optimistic views on what I'll do with it. It will be nice to be able to turn off their notifications again soon☺️

LOL at my phone's opinion of my health metrics through the stress of getting the house ready for its sales brochure visit, Vs immediately after that having been done today😅
After 3 days of backbreaking toile making the house *spotless* for its sales brochure... This! An intrudulator! How very dare they🧐
3 days of blitzing the house for estate agent photography tomorrow, I don't think I have ever been this knackered. Popped to local shop for beer while I still had momentum, sat down, now EVERYTHING ACHES😰 ALSO ordered Pizza. Buggered if I'm risking the kitchen's current unreasonably shiny state.

Woke up at 5:30 despite not having to be up until 8AM today. I have obstinately had a two and a half hour lie-in wearing a sleep mask and listening to an Admiral Thrawn audiobook because Screw You Time, I am not your Bedroom Bitch🤬

Several people are now out and tutting strenuously at their slightly dusty cars😅 The neighbours are, in fact, now gathering to mutter darkly between themselves. I'm expecting pitchforks and flaming torches at any moment.
Matneee@matneee.bsky.social · 4d agoIt doesn't half fart out a thick brown cloud in its wake though. Clear after its 3rd run but I'm inclined to think that's cos it had crumbled all the crud to dust and dumped it into the air. It might actually just be a dirt redistribution system. Just like the ultimate futility of leaf blowers😅
Ooh, handy!🥳 I had "𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘭 & 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘨𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴" as the last thing on my list before Wednesday's estate agent house photo visit on Wednesday. By the state of them I'd just assumed the Council didn't bother any more🙂
This is the problem with flat-pack rodent kits. You check all the parts, follow the instructions, put it all together. And there's still always an unexplained shrew left over.
Back when the news gave real parenting advice. We used to be a proper country.
Nope, it's no good. I simply can't think about edging the lawn without sniggering. I am a child.

Woo! Dicked about with some inadvisable solvents my dad probably shouldn't have had and it's all sparkly clean now☺️ Suffice to say I knew I had the right hexone mix when it dissolved the rubber gloves but not *immediate* the nitrile ones underneath. Also part of my trousers unfortunately😳
Matneee@matneee.bsky.social · 5d agoIT JUST KEEPS GETTING DIRTIER THE MORE I WASH IT!!🤬 This UPVC unit - just this one mind, none of the others - is the most annoying thing in the world. And when you consider that's a planet that also includes Joe Pasquale that's really saying something.

Sunday's joy: Having argued my way past their ridiculous AI gatekeeper, I am currently in an eBay help queue to talk to an actual, real human. They're estimating a 14 minute wait. All guesses for the eventual real wait time are most welcome🙂
That would be Lords of Karma on my uncle's Apple II. I was very young. And in retrospect it was very basic. But it might as well have been a magic portal to a whole new other world as far as Small Matneee was concerned and I've loved #TextAdventure games ever since🥰
Kevin Edwards ( Retro game developer )@kevedwardsretro.bsky.social · 6d agoSo what type of media was used by the first game you can remember playing? Was it a cartridge, cassette tape, floppy disk, optical disk ( CD-ROM, DVD or BluRay ) or other. Also, what was the game and do you still play it today?
POWER WASH EVERYTHING!!! I like power washing. It's a great way to feel constructively efficient whilst avoiding cleaning stuff properly. Which is drudge work. Also it's 90% as good as Real Cleaning for most things which is very acceptable for me. Power Wash 𝘚𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 is just mind-numbing though😴

Loft Find!🥳 A fine hand crafted cassette rack circa mid 80s. I know that for a fact as I made it as my first attempt at woodworky stuffs. I'd completely forgotten about it - astonished it hasn't fallen apart😅 Tapes are my parents, although I suspect Gunstar is a Spectrum game I nabbed off someone.
Well THAT'S not at all suspicious👀 They're your favourite birdies @bhaalspawn.bsky.social - is this your doing? Should I be worried?
THINGS I HAVE LEARNED TODAY Bathroom grime and limescale are absolutely no match for a stiff brush strapped to the end of a cordless drill! Next up: Beer! #YayPeroni
Day of Trains today. Off to Newcastle, travel half the country for an appointment, then straight back to the train station to travel half the country again. All told, 8 hours for a one hour face-to-face. So if there's a spate of train murders on the news this afternoon, you know where I am🙂
Moj! Everybody look at Moj!😍 Flashback to Mojo eleven years ago, just after we'd moved house. Moj showing every ounce of the dignity and poise that were forever her watchwords there. #CatsOfBluesky #CatsOfBsky
