    I wouldn’t mind travelling by night train, but every time I check I’m unable to buy tickets. Last trip my wife and I did we really tried doing it by train, but it was just impossible to order. Maybe I just don’t understand how to do it, but ordering a plane ticket is fast and easy. Ordering a long distance train ticket should have the same experience.

    Edit: ok I checked again and looks like it’s possible now. Maybe they got their shit together in the meantime



  • I’ve watched the first 3 episodes of season 2 with my wife, despite not liking season 1, but hey, it’s a Tolkien show so I will watch it regardless.

    Half the time we were on our phones, reading articles or playing some game, because this show is slow and the dialogue is pretty pointless half the time. There are no characters we are really invested in. I guess Durin the younger comes closest, but man, the character building sucks in this show.

    I will still watch it, because I’m a Tolkien nerd and I will watch it if only to bash it. I just wish there were fewer reasons to do so.



  • The first gout attack I had was the worst. I had been limping for two weeks thinking it would just go away, but it got steadily worse until it became unbearable and I went to the doctor. The diagnosis was almost instantaneous. She looked at my foot and went “Yep, gout”. It got worse for another couple of days until it slowly started ebbing away. I was basically a cripple for at least two weeks though.

    I have it better under control now, but it still plays up sometimes. Gout sucks, but also there are worse things I suppose.
