Your Move, Covid...

In a sign of things to, probably, come... my newsfeed threw in this story today, about the best board games to play at home

Given that we'll certainly be spending NYE at home & possibly a lot more nights to come, as Sydney's Covid clusters expand & multiply, maybe it's time to learn a few games. I've always though that Terry Pratchett's semi-fictional Cripple Mr Onion sounded a bit far-fetched & complicated, but apparently, there are real rules & cards... so it could be the trick to whiling away those evenings at home

I wonder if anyone's come up with a Thud board yet? Why yes... Yes they have...

So, according to my cross-feed over at LiveJournal, I posted 329 times this year, with, on LiveJournal, 115 comments on those entries. Here on DW, that would be 328 times, as I know I posted to LJ once from Instagram & DW won't let me do that... & I know for certain there would be far fewer comments on my entries here - despite a bit of friend/reader crossover between platforms, people still seem to comment more on LJ than here... or so it seems. A shout out to Paserbyp, who comments on nearly all my entries here on DW. I should comment more on yours!!

Even so, it's not a lot of expressed interest in my content - be it political ranting, photographs, pontifications on the personal front, or being pissed off about the decline of western civilised behaviour... & more photos. Not sure how I feel about that - whether 'tis nobler in the mind to stick to my guns (& lens) & just keep doing more of the same, or go back to how I've been with my Journal in previous years - kind of sporadic, mostly reclusive & probably busy with other things. Certainly this years approximately quadrupling of entries hasn't seemed to strike much of a chord with too many people, but I'm quite proud of the effort & definitely stand by every single rant & pronouncement... even if it seems to be the equivalent of an old man sitting on a park bench yelling at things only he can see, while the rest of the world quickens its pace as it passes by
