I eventually stopped faffing about with websites, installed GTA V, and started playing. Except then it was 10:30pm and I went to bed late! 😴 Somewhat recently they released an enhanced edition, so I installed that. Not quite sure if I can tell the difference, or maybe it’s becoming old enough that your memory of it is much better resolution than what it actually was. I should look it up, maybe need settings adjustments.

I bought it when it first came out but never finished the story. The first time round I somehow ended up in the situation where no more missions appeared and I couldn’t progress. Or perhaps I did something wrong. Next time round I stopped for some reason…can’t remember why, maybe distracted by something else then it was too long to come back to. I do remember getting annoyed at remembering all the missions again and finding them boring. I’ve only done a couple so far and I only vaguely remembered them so it’s not too bad. Until I think of something productive to do, I like playing the game as it’s engaging. We will see how long it lasts.

The weather has been lovely and I’m missing going hill walking. I’m scheduled Wednesday off to go out and I still have my Friday off. Friday’s have turned into poor days to go out as I have to be back for school pick up or at best (for me) about 4:30pm, but this is rare as depends if my wife can pick up. As I’ve nearly done everything close to my house it’s soon getting difficult to go out and be back in time. So I’ve been thinking about swapping the day to another when I can get back at 5pm. Probably no one at work cares if I still get everything done and so I’d like to swap to Tuesday this week but as I’m also having Wednesday off I worry it’ll somehow be frowned upon. But the weather is meant to be lovely…and I have the vets on Friday morning.

GTA V also reminds me of when we lived in California, as it was basically the same area, Bakersfield, LA, and the coast there.
