Big Finish Third Doctor volume 6 arrived today, another 4 CD damaged jewel case with broken clips so the cds rattle & scratch.
This no good for my OCD.
3/5 times them double 4cd jewel cases arrive damaged, bloody hate them rather em release 2x2CD like previous Fourth Doctor box sets.

Hello everyone!
Just to let you know, in case you're wondering what's become whiskeybrewer lately, he's doing okay. He's had limited access during the week whilst he's at work, so he's been unable to access the DU.
Here's what he replied to me via Gmail.
I've replied to him, glad that he's doing okay.
Tim.

Had a great day out with the niece and nephew at the amusement park. Yeah, going onto the rides with face mask is not that much fun, but actually less bothersome than thought. Plus it helps keeping the situation under control which is vital. Weather forecast was for mixed weather and rain but it turned out to be a very nice and warm day and we even had to put sunscreen on in the afternoon. So yeah, time and money well spend and fun was to be had. Great to be able to hang out with family again, even if it is with mask.

Just did another quick run to the storage shed for a full car load.. Got boxes and boxes of : My metal cds DVDs/blu rays Nu Who Who books/Torchwood books/Hardy Boys-Nancy Drew- The Three Investigators books. My multiple copies of THHGTTG hardcovers and paperbacks because.. Reasons. Haven't seen this stuff in almost 5 years. Happy memorieas Ok.. So our storage shed is pretty much a good 70% cleared out- its mostly large boxes filled with our belongings that won't fit in our cars so will have to get the family trailer involved. I have 2 IKEA Billy book cases still in the storage shed, doing some quick measurements in my home Batcave I can definitely fit another 2-3 maximum on top of those 2. Guess I will be going to IKEA to buy 2 more in a couple months! I need to setup my BF cd corner as for all these years everything has been stored in multiple big boxes. Our home insurance is at maximum, once the room is all setup I will document with lots of pictures and some video footage . Security is nearly complete, you can never have enough locks and bolts on the doors and windows. :-)

Extremely excited for a writers conference on the weekend. I managed to score free tickets about a year back in a prize raffle for the last one, so I've got the whole thing to attend on Zoom. It's been amazing to see the amount of work that's gone into making the whole thing viable in the face of an uncertain COVID-19 world. So little hassle with so much gain. I'll try to pass on some of the interesting bits and pieces I learn here for Wordsmiths if I get a chance.

Really, really dismayed that Turkey's high court today gave Erdogan the green light to convert the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. The HS Museum was on my list of places I absolutely must visit at some point.

I went to my sister's yesterday and we made Asian soup dumplings. There's something basic and grounded in the joy of cooking with someone you love. It was a lovely day.
And today, I just seem to be in a good mood. No real reason, especially since we have a big, named storm about to hit us with lots of rain and wind. But I'm at work and just happy.

This may sound silly but just the fact that tomorrow I have a Dungeons & Dragons session with a bunch of friends. This is the first campaign that I've been in where everyone in the party has kind of clicked. There's no goofing off and everyone actually wants to play the game, we've all been crafting characters that we like and refining them over the first three sessions. My brother and I are so used to being in parties with people who metagame, make characters who are OP, and turn sessions into their show guest starring everybody else.

Totally hyped for the new Warhammer 40000 coming out today. Absolute Hype on the Internet- it seems that in many places it already has sold out and it only has the pre-orders from today! My local Games Workshop has a little "party" so to speak- with social distancing and face masks and only 2 people in the store, but with waiting area outside.
I am pretty excited. I am looking forward to get back into the game.
Normally, I do not really queue up for things. I am also not an Apple product person. Last time I queued up for a release was a Midnight release of Harry Potter. Where I hyperventilated if there were still books around and they still had a whole pile.
So today I will be queuing for making a pre-order of a new game edition coming out.
Am I a nerd yet?
In other news- will be going for dinner with my sister tonight at my village restaurant. She has asked if I could show her my new home (we had not had time for 1 year, and now she finally comes here). I think it will be nice. She reckons I am crazy.
