Cool. I'd have liked to have seen the mixed doubles as they're usually very entertaining, but I'm working standby hours this weekend so was out until 9pm
Before hitting the road today I bought Becca Stevens 'Regina' to play while I'm travelling.
It's bazzing.

Nope.

You appear to be under the impression that there would only have been one Stella.

D’oh. It’s like I haven’t even met you
The poor 5x couldn't keep up and my frustration got the better of me.
Been buying more of the 'Really Useful Box' range, as some of the sizes come in handy for retro stuff (and the clip-on lids work well). Today was the turn of the shoe-size box to store floppies in -
Their A4 paper boxes work well for Master System games (as well as Game Boy or Game Gear carts) -

Need, ta
Grown up stuff.
I was looking at that exact one the other day! The one the guy left with the house is ancient and leaky.
Yeah, ours was the same then the connector broke. Wasn't worth replacing it.
Damnit I forgot to take a photo of the piece of floorboard I bought. I'm not taking the carpet up again.
Bought my (extremely-limited edition) custom-made Hey Duggee clock for my daughter:

Mrs W and I watched the Andy and Serena game on iPlayer.
A match made in heaven. Can't wait to see them in the next round.
Stüffe.

Probably by the same people that could box up a GBA SP.

Not a classic cocktail tbh
It's fairly nice. They do a "white" version for people like you, Mop.

How embarrassing. I've been pronouncing it 'ho-tel' all this time.

Something dull, I suspect. It's a fairly mediocre book about a wizard in modern America, but it's filling the Dresden hole until Jim Butcher gets off his lazy arse and writes his next one.
Obsidian Sun, if you're interested.
Not so much now, no.
Mrs Hearthly wanted a Bluetooth speaker so I bought her this. It's a JBL 'Flip 3'.
How do they get such a full sound out of such a small speaker? As Hearthly Jnr likes to say (about everything), 'That's insane!'
Only sixty quid as well. It's quite weighty and well put together, size wise it's kind of the same dimensions as a 500ml can of lager.
The Bluetooth pairing is really quick and painless, and apparently it does 10 hours playback on a single charge.

A Vectrex and ten games.
Ooh, love those vectors!

I'm envious
I've been keeping an eye out for a cheap Vectrex as I've owned a few games for a while now, but never had the console. There's a French site that sells a multicart for it too. 
I was also going to post a link to the multicart - there were only a limited number of games ever made for the system so you can have them all :-)
There's also this one that has 101 games so I'm guessing there's a lot of homebrew stuff on there... It also looks nicer... and is more expensive.

At £130 I think it does everything I need (a big display saying "faster!"). Then, MrsA wanted one, too.
MrsKov had one she loved it, upgraded to the 735 as she has started swimming a lot more..
I am still on a 920, old but still going

I need to buy one of those. It’s definitely the bottleneck in my PC now.
As I don't have the money/PC/space for full-on VR, and as they're on offer as part of Amazon Prime Day, I now have an Oculus Go. Seems pretty good so far. The low battery life might be a nuisance, but I don't imagine I'll be using it for long periods anyway.
EDIT - forgot the photo (Knuckles sold separately)
