Guess what I'm having tomorrow?

A home for all my geeky stuff: Wargames, board games, occasional computer games...anything geeky. As FB becomes less habitable, I will probably port over less geeky, but still uninteresting things, like my latest parkrun experience.
Guess what I'm having tomorrow?
#parkrun Bug Hunter Waters. Cold but very sunny. My bogey run as it's 100% tarmac, straight and quite boring. I really just don't run well here. Felt tired on lap 2 so could only maintain a pace, though oddly fast 2nd KM. 24.19, as flat as last week but 40+ secs slower.
May have bought the 40th anniversary of #Labyrinth, 3d version, with co-op storyline/legacy rules.

Lego Tintin rocket is all over my media, I prefer my lego a little more Lego-las... www.lego.com/en-gb/produc...
Been eyeing up (pun intended): www.lego.com/en-gb/produc...
Clair Obscur Exp33: The 'end'; Character 1 was expected, character 2 was 50:50 but no surprises. Onto the cutscenes...

YES I'M TURNING OFF DAMAGE LIMITS! There are 3 things I want to HURT!
Late evening wander around Wicken Fen. Camera phone only.
Right, quick bout of insomnia means I'm now back to were I was on Clair Obscur, but much better at it. The 2nd axon initially took 10 mins to beat, this time it took 5 hits. (Not on story mode).

Blood Bowl Chaos Dwarves painted for a league. Done quickly but happy with the result.
Parkrun: Littleport. Chilly, bit of mud. FLAT.
Very good run, ran/chatted with a guy with a camera (Daniel from Parkrun Passenger on youtube) until last 1km where I slowly increased the speed. 23.36, 10th place, 10th fasted run ever. Somehow 4th in my age category!
Yeah, binge watch the entirety of Alice in Borderland in 1 evening. Because that won't bite you in you 49 not 32 year old arse tomorrow.
Parkrun 252: Wimpole last week, Brandon this week. That's 3 hill runs in a row. TBF, The hillx2 is more of a demoralising upward flat section. Light drizzle and following, then sprinting past people helped and got a 24.23 (course PB). Not too tired either. Very pretty course.
I randomly click on a webcam of my old uni as they have a peregrine nesting box. Saw this today after months of nothing. #Peregrine-cam #Peregrine #NottinghamTrentUniversity
Clair obscure: Nearly finished...start game. Start game? START GAME!

Game deleted.

Wtf?
Parkrun 250: Church Mead. Muddy again but a long hill twice with a fast return is tiring. 135m ascent in total. Felt harder than Great Yarmouth even if I was a bit faster 27.06. I think I can knock off 30 secs without the mud.
I put up pace, cadence, speed and elevation pictures to show my pain.
Ebay: I'm not sure what I just sold, but it went for ยฃ100!
It's all old metal and finecast stuff that is not very good.
Honestly, if you have 2nd-5th ed warhammer stuff, get it on ebay now!
Clair Obscur: Ok, getting a bit better now. I find Monoko difficult but getting there with him. Sciel I now use as a death build when scouting old areas: She dies at the start, buffing everyone and harming the enemies. If any survive I resurrect for more buffs and use her to help the other 2.
Ah, didn't see the reply already.
Your sacrifice to create a burgundy paint will be sung in the halls of Russ.
Also, Magos purple contrast is basically useless and no thicker than a wash.
Watched Episode 1 of 'the Expanse'. I am sure the 100% hype I have heard about it will be later on, but then it was not what I expected anyway.
That said, I didn't get into Witcher, Stranger things or The Boys so maybe I'm just picky.
Drybrushing Russ's finest, unfortunately for them it's to test different ways to get a colour scheme for something else.
Going to have some oddly painted Space Wolves by the end of this process.
That's the problem. I like Americans (generally), and I America is good on paper, but the realities of what can happen and does happen is bad, and nowadays it's so much worse. It's almost like a social experiment gone wrong, or a great opportunity wasted.
ICE are made up of pardoned capitol hill insurrectionists. They are solely there to kill people they don't like the look of or that talk back to them. Not going to the US for any reason.
Ok, so wordle in 1. Guess that's me done for the day then.
Parkrun 249: Non-tourist Coldhams lane. Slippery and sticky mud made it hard going. Tried to keep up with the 24 pacer but got overtaken by the 25 pacer (twice, at the same place) but pushed through at the end. 24.38 felt like hard going.
Finally got round to making my terrain dice box. Sort dice into groups of 5 because it's easy to multiply by 5 for larger wargames.

Just done my first ever Ebay listing! So excited and potentially addictive...but also expecting the inevitable lies and backlash as a buyer claims back ยฃ4.67 and I end up in jail...or something. You hear stories.
Anyway, old box of junk, hope for some takeaway money.
