Played a bit of Dixit after tea tonight. Long time since we'd played but still a great family game #boardgames

Enjoyed my first game of Wingspan Pocket, a nice streamlined take on it but trickier than it first looks #boardgames
A good and quick work from home lunch today - leftover Nigella's Marmite spaghetti reheated with a big slosh of olive oil, garlic and chilli
I love Santa Monica. A relaxing puzzle with great art that takes you there. Like half an hour of your time spent chilling inside the pages of a comic #boardgames
It'll be interesting to see what it all means for the other clubs in the City franchise like Girona who are part-owned by Guardiola's brother, or Troyes who City bought Savinho from
Tariq Panja@tariqpanja.bsky.social · 2w ago😳 Pep before cheats verdict: “If you lie to me, the day after I am not here. I will be out and I will not be your friend anymore.” Pep after verdict: “I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players staff, Enzo and you, our unique supporters.”
Seems really surprising the Man City charges apparently weren't mentioned during their negotiations for new signings / contract renewals (Ornstein believes). Surely players' agents & lawyers asked for some sort of clause or insurance. Their recent splurge is one of the weird aspects of it all
The varied cast of dodgy characters attracted to football ownership shows how desperately it needed regulation. State ownership, especially by the worst kind of state or oligarch, multiclub ownership, loading with dubious cash, sportswashing, loading with debt, none should ever have been allowed
Well worth a watch. Who's behind the angry Facebook content that's helping to radicalise a load of white voters in the UK, US & Australia? (Or some of it at least - the video doesn't touch on hostile states) youtube.com/watch?v=zCvP...

Hundreds turn out to face police in Gosport after migrant boat fears - live local reporting worth reading. This is all funded from overseas, whipped up to divide us www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/2657097...

Portsmouth residents Jo, 54, and Theresa, 51, said they decided to drive to Gosport after hearing about the potential landing.
Theresa said: "I'm struggling. Not just financially, but welcoming people in when we can't feed our own homeless is insulting.
"We have enough problems of our own.
"Our tax money isn't being spent on us, and somehow we can afford to put other people up in hotels."

I would lay money on them being from the Portsmouth granny fash that Daniel Thomas was talking about when that poor bloke got accosted by him recently]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2kf2qj56o2vq7jfaq4x4ogp6/bafkreidbblbby7snba244yanynb7mqcgomqh5srgqhd7rlggifjchzyj4y)
Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
Well played Real Betis, who gave some older fans a treat👏
Clearly bonkers decision. But City savvy and United terrible, created virtually nothing other than Mainoo and Rashford hitting the post
Truly disgusting social media post from one of Brexit's most influential backers.
I think we're at the point where we can incredibly comfortably say that your attitude towards Reform, Restore, MAGA, the AfD etc is how you'd have responded to fascism in the 1930s
On Antiques Roadshow just now Fiona Bruce referred to Queen Camilla as "a keen plantswoman". Felt like a nice twist on being a proper football man
A good day out at Bradford City today, 1-0 vs Mansfield Town
A really good board gaming night tonight. Creating a forest village of animals in Everdell; satisfying polyonimo/jigsaw-style city building in World Wonders; and roll-and-write ticking things off as you grow crops in Three Sisters #boardgames
It's sad news that next year's Airecon will be the last... It's been one of the absolute highlights of the year #boardgames
Walking into a Ghibli style fairytale at Mont St-Michel 🇫🇷
Got a new roll and write game this week, really enjoying my first few plays. It's a calm and therapeutic puzzle crossing stuff off as you plant and harvest crops, yet also like a slot machine that flashes bonuses up all over the show 🎲🍏 #boardgames
I mean I really like them and that's a fair description still

Holiday to France coming up soon. And the challenge of finding acceptable swim shorts that meet their Speedo regulations 🇫🇷
