Today two out of three animals passed their physical exam for next week's travel. The third one (our easily scared cat) is hiding in the attic and doesn't want to see the vet. Off to the supermarket to get some tuna hoping to lure her out of hiding.

Setback during our moving efforts. Looks like I won't be able to bring my #fatbike along. Somehow we misjudged its size. I have one week to find a solution.

We had planned to hike up Le Reculet in the Jura today but the weather does not really play along. Back to packing suitcases then.

Just finished Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings. Slow start, strong ending. Do I continue with book 2?

Went to an event at my daughter's school yesterday. Met the math teacher who's wearing a t-shirt that read 'Think like a proton - stay positive '. Immediately connected. #sciencenerds

Oh well, tonight's the seventh session and we will definitely finish the adventure. This might be the longest oneshot or shortest campaign we've ever played. #ttrpg

I gave in and ordered a copy. Not sure when I'll get to it. Probably not before we get back to Brazil in two weeks.

Thinking about all my games that are currently still in storage until we go back next month. Wondering how many have survived the last two years...

Despite its problematic theme I'm intrigued. Anyone out there who has played this game? Especially the solo variant?

With no more games in the house the weekends became quite boring. *Must hesitate to buy anything new.*

Have you ever seen light collide? In very rare collisions at the #LHC, we can see photons collide, and this helps CMS test the #quantum part of electromagnetism, search for new particles, and so much more! Read more here: cms.cern/news/large-p... #physics #physicsnews @cern.bsky.social #CERN
