Boardgaming all day long

This sunday we played boardgames all day long. We started with Village Attacks. Here the evil player characters try to survive waves of angry town mobs before they burn down their castle.


After that we played one of the scenarios of the latest Unlock! game and although we played the one on easy difficulty we just managed to solve it in time.

In the evening couch and tv shows - as usual.

In the evening we went straight onto the couch and watched some tv shows.

Calm day at work

Yesterday was a quite calm day at work. There were quite a few customers - and some dear friends - in the store, but you could notice that it was vacation time and sales were slow.

In the evening I wanted to go out with my dear on her birthday, abut since she had quite substantial lunch with her parents we skipped that and went straight home and spent the evening on the couch.

Dienstag, 18. Dezember 2018

The day off, not much time to relax though

Yesterday was my day off, but this didn't mean that I had much time to relax. There were chores to do and other stuff that just waited to be take care of so that finally later afternoon I could take a small nap.

In the evening more of the usual: sitting on the couch with a cat on the lap and watching tv shows on the big screen.

Film Review: The Crimes of Grindelwald

This monday we went to the movies again and we watched the latest JK Rowling film: Fantastic Beasts 2 - The Crimes of Grindelwald


The story starts where the last film ended and the evil wizard Grindelwald is about to be transferred from New York to Europe. Of course this fails - otherwise there would be no movie story to tell. Newt Scamander gets the quest to help with the recapture of Grindelwald twice and so the rest of the movie takes place in Paris.

A very well done and dakr wizarding world is presented here. Newt's fantastic beasts are also again a centerpiece of the film and all in all it's a great movie to watch.

Conclusion: very well made fantasy film, where the 3D effects are totally worth it!

Montag, 19. November 2018

Sunday - full of work

This sunday there was a lot to do, so relaxing was not really much of an option.

Since my dear has to work today, I baked for her twice and this took all afternoon and most of the evening.
