Christmas cake

I'm feeling happy because the only one of my friends who likes anime is coming to visit me today and we're going to watch lots of anime together. Ever since he married and moved away we don't get to meet up very often so today a special day for both of us.

Yes, there's a big difference between milk chocolate and plain chocolate, plain chocolate is also called dark chocolate. The main difference is that plain/dark chocolate has a higher cocoa content and less sweetener than milk chocolate and plain/dark chocolate is better for your health as it also contains various natural compounds that can help reduce inflammation, blood pressure and the risk of heart disease. My favourite type is the 70% cocoa variety and has, in my view, a much more chocolatey taste than milk chocolate. White chocolate is also good for you and has many of the health advantages of dark chocolate.

This is another SAO inspired GFX featuring Kirito. As SAO is a computer game I decided to use a circuit board as the main background.

It's been quite a nice day here today, reasonably sunny but still a bit chilly on the plus side there was no wind and without any wind chill it's much more pleasant out.

I used to like chocolate syrup, but the only sort I can get in shops now is the milk chocolate variety and I don't really like that I much prefer plain chocolate.

Yes, it can be quiet here. I think this is mainly because the most active members are split between the US and UK and with the US being 5 or 6 hours behind the UK things tend to get spread out a bit.

My first proper computer* was an Atari 800 which I spent a lot of time on playing games my favourite being Star Raiders, but slowly over time I found I preferred doing other stuff and as I progressed on to an Atari ST and eventually to a PC I found doing word processing, DTP, graphics and photo & video editing much more fun so that now I don't play any games. *OK, so technically my first computer was a ZX80, but you couldn't do much with those, It was fun though.

When I started watching anime just about everything was dub, then I discovered fansubs and decided that I preferred to hear the original VA's who seemed to put more expression into the voices. The arrival of DVDs was great because they had both sub and dub, in the days of VHS tapes shops would usually only stock the dub and if they did have the sub it was usually more expensive. These days I only watch subs.

Oh, good . I'll wait unit it's finished, I'm one of those people who prefer to binge watch a series rather than watch one episode a week.

I hope the surgery was a success and and you won't need the other treatments which would make anyone anxious. Just carry on as you are and try not to think about them, which isn't an easy thing to do. So, what does @Zeref think of all your Sasori's and such like invading the hallway?

Yes, I watched MF Ghost, quite a good series. I think it was spoilt a bit by the fanservice, but the racing scenes were good. I'm looking forward to season 2 next year as Season 1 ended on a bit of a cliff-hanger.

I had two small individual apple pies and custard, and very nice it was too

I rewatched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time It's a good film with an interesting concept.

Welcome to the Forum. Pull up a cushion, or a chair if sitting on the floor isn't your thing, and make yourself at home.

I went out and did a bit of gardening this morning and cut back a bush that was getting far too big and tried out my new long lopper thingy on the rose arch, it worked really well so no more risk of falling off the stepladder . I also had a go at the ivy on the front garden fence, but I think I'm fighting a loosing battle against that stuff .
