I have spent the day playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village. A game I played yonks ago when i used to have a Nintendo DS and always wished it would be ported to the mobile as the style of play was eminently suitable for the mobile. Turns out that did happen, a long time ago. As paid-for games go £9.99 is a bit steep but other than a totally non-intuitive means of activating the keyboard, the port is excellent and it proved a fine way to waste a sunny day.
Much fun had.
For background noise, ents has been season 9 of The Curse of Oak Island. I've been dipping in and out of it since the new series started and they've found naff all as of episode 14.
I think, autocorrect, that you'll find the bread has multiple seeds and only one user, so I was correct the first time
Telly tonight was mainly just stuff from during the week being repeated on Quest, but that did include an episode of The Repair Shop featuring the most preposterously huge teddy bear ever seen
