The sun is out, and I knocked out another 5km this morning as dawn broke, making it four days in a row, and six out of the last eight. Making headway into a pile of work, and got the worst report of the week out of the way.

Feeling positive. AND 24 tins of 5am Saint are on their way, with another 12 of other stuff. Hurrah.

Took a bit of a chance on an eBay item for some import RPGS - zero-rated seller, photos of the items but virtually no description, but it arrived today and I think I did ok:

I don't really play JPRGs anymore but at least they should sell ok.

Look in great condition judging by the photos!

Does Radiata Stories come with a free bleed key?

Yep. Final Fantasy III looks like it might be worth more than I paid for the whole lot

Bought my flat, didn't I?

Bloody hell, that was a palaver

Wooo, exciting!

Why was it a palaver??

Congrats!
Was that the one you were living in previously, or a new one?

Yeah been here for three years now. Bonus, nothing to move.

Mortgage vendors deciding "nah, no thanks" because of the pandemic, valuations being at £0 because of Grenfell cladding rules apparently applying to a first floor flat with 3m² of cladding on the front, solicitors being useless...

Was an autocorrect. He meant 'palace'

I've just won an Evercade premium pack via a competition on Discord! Yay!

Oh yeah. That’s sweet!

I start a new role on Tuesday. Going to be the smart factory lead architect.

Going to be a challenge.

TheVision · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2020 23:44

It is something I've already bought, but this one is white... my current one is black... So yay!

Given you won it in a competition, the argument could be made that someone who didn't already have it in *any* colour would've been better off with it?

Yeah. But fuck them. Enjoy your spare, TheVision!

Enjoy sticking it on a shelf somewhere and never even plugging it in! Probably forgetting you even own it! Yay for plastic waste your children need to put in a bin! :DD

If it’s on The Spread Sheet, it’s already worth it’s weight in gold.

I was always about The Spreadsheet. It was Sacred and it was Right and it Knew All and it Saw All. Then came the day that something was Bought and the Spreadsheet knew not of it. At that point my faith was shaken and now I care not for The Heretic Spreadsheet.

If you'd join us on a Tuesday, you would see that The Vision does not have one single baby that he puts in a corner.

We have, top-to-bottom:
- Blu-rays (mostly unwatched and since selling my PS3 have no way to watch them now)
- PS3 games (stock for the site and 99% unplayed by me)
- My one DVD (I offloaded all my stuff to Music Magpie a while back and bought the Columbo boxed set since)
- Assorted bits included US PS2 games, the Spectrum book my brother got me for Christmas (unread) and Evercade stuff
- PS2 games (stock for the website, but for some reason, PS2 games have sold really well this year, so the shelves aren't as full as they were and all the good stuff has gone)

No new money, but the challenge will be great. My bosses had already started to back fill me, before I was asked, as they knew I was bored.
