Windchill is the real problem with winter for me. The rare days when it is still out are really nice, even if it's -20 C or something. This past winter sucked, -20 - -30 range and even worse with wind.
There's a joke about living through your kids in there somewhere.
Plugging along with Divinity 2 and EU4 still, though fire has gone from both so may take a break and shift to something else - maybe this Factorio game my friend is raving about.
Oyster card is well for that, though some of the gates suck in that they take too long to close so you can tap out, heh. As for what to do when in London : leave. City is too crowded.
Nice and cool here, high of 21 C. Pretty swell summer here, not too hot, though far too many rainy days - even if the rain we do get is always at night otherwise it is fairly light.

Impressions of Star Ruler 2. Never did play much of the first one, but hey, can't have too many Space 4X games.

Fancy piece of kit, the "magic" helmet for the F-35.
