We got two kittens today! 🐈🐈‍⬛ They are tiny and crazy! No one can agree on names, so we’ll have to see how it goes. I picked them up this afternoon and was at home with them before everyone else got home. They fell asleep on me and then I started to nod off.

Went back to a hill today for radio that was the first one I did last year. Was a nice day, and much better visibility than last time! It was my 60th activation.

New Nintendo Switch teasers today. Looks nice.

I have a couple of custom Pokemon games that people have made. Supposedly making the story better and adding new mechanics and all sorts. Quite a community around it once you look into it. Would be good to replay some of the classics but revamped. When I’m going to be doing this I don’t know. Maybe I should set it up on the DS and then I can sit in the kitchen playing it with the kittens this evening.

One is asleep on me and the other has climbed into a drawer of tea towels by going under the chest of drawers and climbing up on the inside!

I bought the Garmin watch for the mapping but I’m now getting interested in what it tells me about everyday health. It picked up when I dozed off on the couch whilst the kittens were sleeping on me and it said I was stressed between 8:00 and 8:52 - ie when I was getting the kids ready for school and making sure I was ready for radio trip and picking up cats. I was rushing about the house packing things and looking for stuff. I’m sure the Apple Watch would do the same. It says I need more sleep and it’s right. Let’s see if I actually go to bed earlier tonight.

I remembered Apple now let emulators on iOS, so I installed retroarch and started the custom Pokémon game. It’s fine…early Pokemon is a chore but maybe all Pokemon is a chore. I should look up what this version has so I know why I’m playing it. Else I might as well just read a book. I have some physical ones I’ve not read, as I generally read in bed with the kindle, so maybe I should crack those out.
