Saturday, Parkrun and Stream PLNs

Did Southbank parkrun properly this time, and I swear that thing is uphill in all directions. Ow.

Brisbane Geography for the win?

My feet hurt and my legs hate me and I'm having ice cream as compensation. Story very soon.

I have my starter in the incubator and, given that I fed them on Thursday, haven't bothered with the Bikkie step. I'm checking on it on the hour and hoping this helps me streamline dough.

Wish me luck on that one.

I'm going to finish my ice cream and then start rattling.

Challenge #04233-K215: They Call it Faerie Farm

By their farm, a well-hidden place where the veil between Nanogh and their world had always been thin. The family, by tradition, not knowing who it was that aided them, at harvest season, always left out three jars of honey, and a large basket of freshly picked fruit. None have ever been stung by the hives, and when ill, despite being poor, none has ever been without medicine. -- The New Guy

The woods were sacred. Horrible things happened to anyone wandering

Friday, House of Pestillence

Mayhem didn't listen to my good advice on shaking his lurgi. He's taking that good advice today. By Monday, he'll be back at work.

I'm going to try Stencyl again. Unriddling the sound issue is a complicated problem that includes converting files to other formats and stripping their metadata. I tried finding or making copies of the extant sound files, but... that's something I must mess about with.

I will find a way.

Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but I

Challenge #04232-K214: Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

The village had begun to rot from the inside, with the Watch being cruel the downtrodden, especially those who were not human. Certain ears DID hear. Shadows move, and some were asked to move into the village to correct the problems.

Doni had taken to leaving little gift boxes where the Hellkin girl often hid. He made sure nobody saw him do it, because that increased the chances that the Hellkin girl would

Thursday, Software Updates and Lurgi

Mayhem's got a rhinovirus. If it's the same rhinovirus I had a while ago, he'll be back on his feet tomorrow.

I have a software update and drive cleanout on the first of every month, so I may be delayed on my offerings because restart-a-thon.

I'm on the refining layer of my fanart of a fanfic of a fanart happening after I've done my half a chapter during my stretchies. There's two panels refined out of five. I might even drag my

Challenge #04231-K213: Feathers of Justice

Pax Humanis had VERY few in among them that were not human. Fewer still that could be mistaken for a Havenworlder.

Which made this killer's ability to "hide in plain sight" save for the leg bands when not on a job, even easier. The targets always seem to expect a human hunter.

Wednesday, Rant Day and Crowded Schedule Once More

It's just after Midday and I just got back from my shenanigans today. Mayhem's over his tummy bug and hoping he doesn't get sick again. Lad used to be proud of his ability to not get sick, but it turns out that it was mostly due to not leaving his room too often.

Lad needs to get his flu shots and look after himself a little better. BUT he also needs to come to that realisation himself because he just won't firkin

Challenge #04230-K212: Testing on Offer

My name is Vizmo, what is your answer my Mage friend? For your sweet little friend here? You have a home that travels do you not? She could be safe there when your travels become dangerous. My offer still stands.

Tuesday, Sniffoos and Patreon

I forgot the Patreon stuff yesterday. Mayhem still has tummy trouble and there's a package in the mail for me at the post box. And I got the sniffoos.

Bleh.

The parcel can wait until I feel better about my part in life. Maybe tomorrow.

Today, I need to focus long enough to get the Patreon stuff up, do my offerings, and maybe pick a side-project to do jiggery-pokery on.

Maybe tomorrow, I will have the wherewithall to go to place and

Challenge #04229-K211: Insect Swarm

Cats can get into trouble sometimes, and Lilbit was no exception to that. Poor cat upset a stinger's nest and got stung pretty badly tail and body. Fortunately, the kitty had Wraithvine, and Bibrid there to help, and gentle Gikka to hold her while she was being helped. -- Anon Guest

Even an immortal cat finds trouble before it's lost. For this little adventure, the famous feline had pounced after something rustling in the underbrush... and found more than she bargained for.

Monday, Day of Rest(ish)

Mayhem's picked up a tummy bug, so I don't have to drive. The downside for him is that he has no paid time off. Bummer.

I am going to live relatively luxuriously for those four extra hours today.

There's no backup readings today because the person running the streams couldn't read anything this week. So now the sundry authors of the Archive are milling around in Discord and talking about random nonsense.

Cannibalism, flesh horse, poison, vampires, and so on.

I shall

Challenge #04228-K210: Not So Dead End

"I am here to end you."

I'll work, I'll atone, I'll do whatever you ask of me, just please, I don't want to die.

"Live by the rules you gave those you harmed, and give all those you harmed YOUR life and go through therapy and be monitored."

Alright, I agree. -- Fighting Fit

Kamiron was going to live. He was also going to live to regret his choices, too. He had to live

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and Browser Tricks

TIL that the trouble with GoogDocs and Firefox is not one that is mine and mine alone. Other folks are having similar issues.

Meanwhile, I can plausibly move all my GoogDocs to Zoho Writer, which does more or less the same things but without being as nasty as Google is at doing anything useful.

My problem now is finding the time and energy to transfer the files. I can theoretically upload them from my GoogDrive, but that is an experiment for another

Challenge #04227-K209: Weapons of Mass Infuriation

I would cast Repel Maiden upon thee, but it seems another wizard beat me to it.-- Anon Guest

Bards have... a gift of sorts. Their words and music are so well-practiced and well-honed that they have a magic of their own. Many have heard of the magic in a Bard's song - Inspiration. Few have heard of the opposite - Vicious Mockery - the ability to harm or kill with an insult.

It's quite the skill, to be able to read

Saturday, Parkrun, Sore Feet, and Stream PLNs

I had a good parkrun, it was afterwards that nonsense went sideways. The original pln was to pull in, drop off the tower, and scoot off before the delivery people arrived so there'd be room to bring in the new freezer.

At no point was I told that Beloved and Adorable wanted to come with me to my beta destination - the New Farm Confectionary Company.

There, my lovely readers, you can get Espresso Caramels. AKA "Coffee Toffee" to Miss Chaos and
