And as if on cue, You Know It! has arrived! Thank you, @sportycuff.bsky.social! 🎄
It's an absolute privilege to have such wonderfully kind and lovely friends, and I can't thank you enough (even if I'm not quite sure where I'm going to put several dozen small goose figurines!).
Happy holidays to all those celebrating 🎄😊

A steam gift email featuring the key art for the Euro Truck Simulator 2 DLC "Road to the Black Sea", followed by a message from Stuart that just contains the lowercase letter "L".
The box art for You Know It! by Invisible Typewriter on a purple background.
And finally, a couple of digital items and a parcel yet to arrive.
@shaun1e.bsky.social gifted Placid Plastic Duck Simulator, @mrstuarta.com gifted the ETS2 DLC Road to the Black Sea, and @sportycuff.bsky.social gifted You Know It!
A large goose hat, a set of four goose drinks coasters, a set of six small goose figurines, and a set of fifty even smaller goose figurines.
A close up of the six small goose figurines.
A close of the fifty even smaller goose figurines.
And then, the geese arrived.
We have Ashley's goose hat, @mrstuarta.com's goose drinks coasters, Rob's siz small goose figurines, and @missplaying.bsky.social's fifty (*fifty*!) even smaller goose figurines.
A cardboard cutout of Gary Lineker and a box with three jars of jam.
Normally that's where it ends, but seeing my growing panic after the third parcel arrived, the others (rightly) thought it'd be funny to keep adding to my pile of boxes.
So next up, there's @aarongilllive.bsky.social's cardboard cutout of Gary Lineker, and @rumplepusscat.bsky.social's jars of jam.
A photo of a puzzle box, a ball maze cube, and a Taskmaster task sealed with a wax seal key ring with the initials "JC" on it.
A Taskmaster task that reads: Have the merriest Christmas. - You must exclaim "I'm so very merry" with increasing enthusiasm every time you feel merry. You have until New Year's Day. Merriest Christmas wins. Your time starts now.
Big thanks @craftman.bsky.social for the puzzle boxes and the Taskmaster key ring! I'm so very merry!
Another year, another wonderful Secret Santa with the @rasastudios.net folks!
The stage of Tim Minchin's "Songs The World Will Never Hear" tour. The backdrop is the only part of the stage that is lit up.

Had a lovely evening last night seeing @timminchin.bsky.social in Leeds - amazing show and wonderful music 🎵💜
I think I'm running out of room for pin badges... 😅

Mel and me in front of the scores at the end of the crafting minigame in the Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue. I am pointing towards our score, 26, which is the highest of any of the teams. Mel is slightly blurry (sorry Mel).

Another absolutely lovely day with friends in London, this time seeing A #MinecraftMovie and trying out the Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue! *And* we had lovely weather to top it all off!
Bloody love this lot 💜

Had an absolutely lovely day yesterday with friends at @taskmaster.tv: The Live Experience! It was great fun, and against all odds I managed to make it to the studio task!

This October, @rasastudios.net brought one of our #NoxsquadGameshow minigames to @cubedcon.com for the public to play! 🤸🤸
It was a load of fun to work on, and I got to experiment with some new approaches to problems. Read more on my website! 👇🏻

*"its", damn it. That'll teach me for typing while also trying not to fall over on a tram.

Thoughts after the second set, it's encore, and it's second encore:
🎵 I'M NOT A REAL DOCTOR BUT THEY CALL ME DOCTOR WOOOOOOOOOOOORM 🎵
(Fantastic gig, definitely going to need to let my voice rest for a little bit though! 😊)

Current thoughts after the first set at tonight's @tmbg.bsky.social gig - having a blast, but really hoping that I don't need my voice this weekend! 😅
