The news is all doom filled, so what's something that's made you happy recently?

Mine is finding Lemmy and all you lovely people (obviously). Also I had a workman round and he was a bloody lovely man.

It was actually sunny over the weekend! I know it's peak British cliché to talk about the weather, but going outside when it's not cold and miserable definitely makes you feel good.

Watching Severance. It's been a while since I've discovered a show that's had me hooked!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I LOVE that show. I watched it a few months ago it has so many layers. I can't wait to binge season 2.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm nearly up to date, just a couple of episodes behind now. Can't believe everyone had to wait so long between season 1 and 2!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

OK no spoilers but how does it measure up to season 1?

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just as good as or better in my opinion.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 day ago

That's great news!

Sooooo hyped for season 2, trying to hold off until it's all out... luckily my friends watching say most spoilers would just confuse me more haha

I've been doing HEMA and learning to fight with a sword and shield is really cool and good exercise. It's nice to be moving more and doing something nerdy whilst meeting new people. Recently I brought most of my safety kit and I'm hoping to get a sword soon too.

Sick.

I always wanted to get a Guts sized sword from Berserk and train with it until I was strong.

There are a couple of people with huge two handed swords at the club, those look like a lot of fun. I don't think a Guts sword would do you any good without the super strength to go with it.

You are right. But I am stubborn enough that if if get the proper opportunity for it I will struggle towards that goal

I hope to see internet videos of you swinging a tree around someday ☺️.

Met some folks at a clubngiht last weekend who shared a lot of my music taste, so some nice social connection stuff

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's great! What music are you into?

[–] wingsfortheirsmiles@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lots of stuff, but this night was techno, electro and breakbeat!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 day ago

That sounds great I'm glad you had a good time
