Recovering from a stomach bug that's going round (not had it as bad as some, fortunately). Other than that, messing with the household computers. Seeing some well made FOSS versions of software that I use a lot now. The moving away from US corporation controlled software continues.

F-droid gets better every year. Battling enshitification is a full time job!
Very Shax vibes there XD
Accurate. 
Please let me blow up HMG!
(But not in a Guy Fawkes way before I get put on an MI5 list)
Quiet week. Did some tidying, putting away the holiday stuff etc, met some friends for lunch. I've been reading a lot but not much of anything else!!!
Reading anything exciting? I'm pushing through The Silmarillion this summer, great in parts, poor in chapters too though
Thats Tolkien isn't it??
I was recommended some books which are not my usual and I've devoured them!! It's romantasy, which is not a genre I thought I would like, but I have. So I've read the 3 books from the Empyrean series (Fourth Wing, Iron Flame and Onyx Storm) then 5 books from the ACOTAR series. Looking forward to new ones being written! Also read The Dicktionary Club which I didn't really love and I'm now on What A Way To Go.
Booked a 4 star spa trip to the lake district at the end of the month wi the wife. Already gagin for it
Nice, that sounds bliss. Massages, spa, dinner booked?
Meal plus prereco included. Full access to facilities except things like massages which are extra. But its so over due money does not exist over enjoyment. My wife and I need us time after 30 yrs of dealing with other people's bollocks
Edit i should probably clarify i got told about one of those Groupon type deals we got 50% off
That sounds amazing!! You will have the best time! A spa day is one of my favourite things!!
Ill be honest never done it because im a manly man from the west of Scotland. Genuinely looking forward to it now i know that's just stupid
My husband is the same. I've taken him to a spa a couple of times and he's not that into it but he said he'd do it again!! He enjoyed the massage, but doesn't like the pool!
My comment was half a joke. I'm trying to be the me i want to be not the me that's expected because penis.
I think thats the best way! Play your own kinda music, sing your own special song.....!!
Wish me luck. Travel hell the noo with weans! Stuck in an airport :(
Why would you do that to yourself. Also enjoy wherever yer taking them
Once you get there it will all be worth it!!
