Update 21st October 2020: H has now had a chance to try out the game via the review code we were sent. The game play follows the plot of the anime – it’s not one that H is familar with (despite being a big anime fan) and he felt the story via the game lacked a bit of depth as he didn’t have the background of having watched the series. He would have preferred to see some quick tutuorials. That said he found it quite easy and quick to pick up the game place, but it’s fairly low skill stuff. He liked that you can quickly unlock the characters, albeit slightly faster than he’d have thought was ideal. Over all though it’s been good fun to play and he’s very much enjoyed the battling game play.

Week 41 of 2020

Last week I shared my pictures of the fox on the hedge in the sunshine. I haven’t seen him or her on the hedge again since, but there has been some fox activity. I took this snap of a fox in the garden during the day this week. Then one night I woke up about 3 in the morning and saw foxes playing on my drive. It isn’t really that surprising to see them as I think they make their home in next door’s back garden. What tends to happen is that I don’t see a fox for ages and then I will see one around quite a few times in a short space of time, then back to not seeing them again.

cyclamen

It’s lovely to still have some flowering plants in the garden at this time of year. Most of the flowers are summer ones that are holding on, but these cyclamen are new for the season. They inspired me to plant some allium bulbs in my flower border for late spring/early summer. Alliums are a favourite, and if I’m to have them next year, I need to plant them now. I’m hoping these to rather better than the last lot. I planted some previously which gave an ok sort of display one year and didn’t really perform much at all after that. Fingers crossed!

lizard

This little fellow was in our garden before we bought the house and he’s got rather faded over the years. He’s on an old tree trunk that forms part of our hedge. In the summer he disappears under the foliage, but reappears when the hedge is cut back. Some years ago I won a Caribbean cruise and on one of the islands we spotted lots of market stalls selling very similar lizards (but much more brightly coloured than he is now) – I wish now that I’d bought a friend for him whilst we were there.

H went back to school this week. He’d been off for two weeks because some of his year tested postive for the virus. Initially he was supposed to go back on Tuesday, but then someone else tested positive who had been in school at a later date, so he went back on Friday instead. He’s only got a week now to go before a two week half term. This time rather than just setting work, H had mostly live lessons delivered online. It meant that he was kept working for longer than when he was off earlier in the year, but he still gets the benefit of not having to travel to school. Some lessons aren’t done online like PE (difficult to run a games lesson online I’d think) and latin (not sure why for that). H only started the latin a few weeks ago, but he’s already picking it up and he is much happier doing it than he was studying French. Plus latin has the advantage of including some classical studies and H has always been interested in that sort of thing.

Decorate Your Walls: A SGM Wall Art Giveaway #Ad

coffee and netflix SGM Wall Art

You know when you are decorating a room, you tend to think about the big items first. So it’s the colour of the walls, the floor covering, large pieces of furniture like sofas, wardrobes, beds. Once all those things are in place though, you aren’t finished. Much of what makes a house a home lies in the detailing: the curtains, other soft furnishings and of course, having some pictures on the wall. Finding the right wall art is a key part of the decor for any room and it’s important to pick out the right choices. That said, it’s quite easy to change the look and the feel of a room by swapping around or picking out new prints to hang.

SGM Wall Art are based in Falkirk, Scotland and they sell a wide range of different prints and posters. They stock a wide variety of prints from typography style song lyrics, household quotes, sketchings and cute artwork perfect for childs room or nurseries. They always have some fantastic offers going on, such as half price deals and buy one get one free. It’s also great that they offer free delivery to every part of the UK.
