anonymoose_au11:36pm: Good news! I forgot that I had some arrow points from a couple of my arrows that were broken beyond repair, which means I had points to replace the two I lost yesterday, hooray!
Despite the weather being damp, the tournament still went ahead, which was great! Especially the barbeque afterwards, one of the members of the club is French and made some very posh sausage sandwiches for us :O)
I also didn't finish on the last target this time! Which was a bit sad because the lucky loser prize was an archery target bucket hat, not to mention a small bit of money! Still, it's good to improve :O)
Apart from that not much to report, with the weather being rather crappy, I spent the rest of the day at home watching Dr Gluon on Twitch, he's been playing Paralives, the new life simulation game, it's in Early Access and looks really interesting! I wonder if I should purchase it...I have been buying a lot of games lately and there's only so many hours in the day.
I did at least do one thing, which was replace the elastic straps on a number of my masks which have become all un-elasticised after multiple wears. I am a bit worried that my sewing machine - which I bought second hand for like $25 many years ago - is starting to die, but it might just be the thread I'm using which admittedly isn't of the highest quality. I should check that out.
Now finally before I finish up...
The Friday Five
22/5/26
1. How long to you hope to live (to what age)? I often joke that I'd like to live to be 116 so I can ring in the new century, but that might be a bit too ambitious. I can't think of another age though...except definitely not any time soon!
2. Based on the lifespans of your grandparents and/or great-grandparents, what is your realistic lifespan? Well...Grandpa is alive at 95, although he hurt is hip and although he had surgery he's still recovering so isn't kicking yet. M lived to 91, I think? On Dad's side of the family his father died very young, but also had hemophilia :O(. I'm not actually sure when Grandma died...I know what year she did, but not her age...I think maybe she was in her mid-80s? Meanwhile Dad will turn 80 next year, which is scary to think about O.O So I guess maybe 90s?
3. What is the average lifespan of people in your country? I think the average age for women is 84? Goes to check - wait it's 85 now, well that's cool. But the average expectancy for men is 81! SO let's not think too hard about that O.o
4. At what age do you plan to retire (or did you retire)? Retire? Hahahaha. In all seriousness though, I have no idea...they do say it'll be really difficult to retire.
5. What are your plans for retirement? Beats me! I guess I'd like to go travelling? Hang out with friends, volunteer? Who knows!
Right, I gotta head off now, I need to put my skin cream on and take my anti-histamine, fortunately they're both work and the itchiness and swelling is going down. Huzzah!
Ta-ta!
