Week Notes - 2026-11

17 Mar, 2026

Last week that was a short but busy week culminating in a short break with family, plus a visit to National Trust Stourhead on our travels.

We had great weather the entire weekend, except for the 30 minutes that I was in charge of the BBQ. 🌦️

Gaming

Timberborn 1.0 was released last week, and I spent all of Thursday evening playing it until all my beavers sadly died during a drought. I need to figure out what actually went wrong, and try again soon. I thought it was going great... I had surplus food, I had enough workes, but suddenly my population started dropping until I didn't even have enough workers for the water pump... and that was the end of my little beaver town!

We also had our first play of 'The Mind' which was a fun group experience that we'll bring out at future gatherings for sure.

Reading

I'm continuing to read Azure Bonds. Not much else to say... :)

Health

I haven't kept up my average steps like I did previously for the last month, but I did go swimming quite a lot over the weekend as we went away on a short break with extended family. That was counterbalanced by my appalling diet over the last four days, but I know that it truly is a marathon and one weekend doesn't mean a lot in the scheme of things. Over the next week, I do want to get back into my walks, and get stuck into tracking what I eat.
