's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands was completed in 21 moves (5x5 map). I've been there, a lovely little walled city where the bonkers artist Hieronymus Bosch lived for most of his life. They have a fab (or did when I was last there) exhibition of his works there. All reproductions but that doesn't make them any less enjoyable to look at.

23 moves for me, despite not getting any wrong. I didn't get any two-for-one moves though, where the one swapped out moves to the right place

Tea has been a pork cutlet with chips and beans

This was accompanied by some Trucking Hell though as mentioned before, I'll soon be running out of that and will have to find something else

I got lucky with a couple of 2-4-1 moves

I finally arrived at HWMBO's a couple of hours later than planned. Much weather afoot down in Europe and southern England. Less so up here

I was thinking about you when I read the story on the BBC News website about the delays. Glad you got there in the end!

Tonight's major motion picture premiere was Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) in which the mighty ape busies himself with important work in Hollow Earth and the hitherto unknown Subterranean Earth region (complete with tautologous name), while the big lizard does its dumb lizard stuff of smashing places up for no good reason up on normal Earth. There's also the big moth, which doesn't seem to do anything much but apparently it's friends with the lizard and that helps. It's quite good fun as these things go, but I'd be happy enough if they just stuck with the ape rather than dragging the lizard in, and the ape seemed to have things pretty much in hand

And then a rewatch of Gladiator (2000) because the new one is out now and I'll need to remember the old one well enough to moan that the new one isn't as good

Time to get to sleep now as I need to be up for Monkey Life tomorrow, hopefully without giant lizards

Goodnight all

Morning all, Glasgow calling

Dull and overcast. Currently 9 degrees ('feels like' 7) with a high of 10 expected. Rain forecast off and on for most of the day. Barometer at 1024 mBar.

HWMBO tells me localised flooding is forecast for 30th/31st and high winds on the 1st, when I'm due to head home.

Big family dinner this afternoon.

Morning denizens

Still foggy, though it seemed to reduce in density somewhat late last night and isn't as thick now as it was yesterday afternoon. It's still mild for the time of year but still a tad chilly, at 4°C rising to 6° in a bit. The barometers are down to 1016/1024mB
