The orcs won by one point. Gary didn't die in vain.
Sauruman has finally died after being kicked by a pony.
We're calling it there as the shop is closing soon.
Both sides have two objectives so they're doing some complicated calculating of points now.
Sauruman has been knocked down by a horse and is down to one wound. He's now doing some nonsense with a palantir.
Game table with trees.
Apparently the trees are objectives. I'm still not completely sure what is going on but I think the elves are winning?
RIP Gary ๐ข
Had to change the baby. Came back to find Gary is hanging on by one wound ๐ฅ
Elf is dead
Sauruman just murked this poor guy with a fireball. RIP ๐ฅ
Gary the troll surrounded by elves.
Gary is surrounded!
Gary the troll meeting some elves, who are also engaged in combat with some orcs. Sauruman is chilling in the background shooting the odd fireball.
Gary has entered the fray!
Elves on a game table facing some orcs, Sauruman in the distance and Gary the troll.
Omg this guy just shot Sauruman.
He's still alive though.
Happy New Year!
I'm watching my friend and my partner play a Middle Earth wargame with my 4 month old sleeping in my arms dressed as a little hobbit.
I have no idea what is going on. Life is good ๐
I have called on the Equalities Minister to withdraw badly written guidance for single-sex spaces to protect everyone's rights and ensure trans people are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Boo! I don't need this negativity from you right now Baby Buddy ๐ก
My partner just emptied our new nappy bin for the first time and she just went "Oh it's a poop tube!"
Both of us have been cackling for the last ten minutes and I'm not sure we're mature enough to be parents. ๐คฃ
This is a lovely photo, and illustrates that while certain noisy folks with contacts in the transphobe media can shout all they like, the official lib dem bodies @libdemwomen.bsky.social and @pluslibdems.bsky.social are very happy to support each other.
You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't
Tawny owl
Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls Iโve ever had, asking โSo when are you coming to pick up your owl?โ ๐งต
Well, honestly, I can't see what all the fuss is about. I, for one, can't wait to use my Brit Card to access the khazi, secure in the knowledge that only certified Brits of the correct gender will hear the blast of Rule Britannia that plays as I flush, having wiped my arse on union jack bog roll.
My 11 day old is completely ambivalent to "baby friendly" songs and lullabies, but has finally relaxed and nodded off to Cradle of Filth on my phone's random playlist.
"Sleep when the baby sleeps!" Ah yes, and when will that be? ๐
Love you x
Guess who managed to put her phone in the freezer at work? ๐
I have this crazy idea I wanted to share with you all
What if I cut myself a little bit of slack sometimes
If you're too young to remember section 28, this is what it means:
I was at high school from 1989-95. There were ~250 people in my year. There were no (0) out LGBT+ people in my year until 6th year when one very camp guy transferred in. (I don't remember if he was actually out, either)
I love Lincoln so much ๐
I just had to sit down in town because I was having pretty intense Braxton-hicks contractions and a random very drunk guy decided to sit with me and coach me through breathing through the discomfort.
I hope he has an amazing day lol.
