Sadly, I’m flying out shortly before this. But maybe a London local wants to show up in my stead?
You just need to say, “What?,” “I don’t understand,” and “Where’s the tea?”

Omg, #immich just told me that we visited #rome 12 years ago. 12?! Omg - where does time go?
But I'm just - so - glad that I took those photos. And for this feature in Immich.
These reminders about our vacations and adventures.. Just so precious.

Day Five in the Improv Narrative house, and we're in the format I like most really. A few instructive games in the first half and a couple of longer narrative stories in the second half.
The island game was supposed to teach something about not deliberately getting obstructive.
A scene where your players are told they are on one island and must end up at some point all on the other one the other side of the stage.
Set a scene, make some characters, but nobody said it was supposed to be difficult to get from one island to the other.
Yet barriers are deliberately thrown up, actually imaginary barriers since the whole thing is imaginary after all. Why should there be sharks or a quest for a boat or the sea deep and cold.
You can just wade across. You can just have a boat. You can just levitate yourself over with your hive mind psychic abilities.
Unsure about this.
There must be conflict and peril and challenges which are mastered in a story, you can't set up a hero's quest only to have the hero just happen to have a holy grail in the stationary cupboard. Already got one you see. Use it for storing pens.
Still. Finding the crowbar doesn't have to be a quest. There can just be one in the boot. Don't let things get bogged down in difficulty.
Watched a story about a lazy fellow falling into a life of crime and villainy because of his tardiness and fulfilling his teacher's prophecy that he would indeed end up as a criminal if he didn't buck up his ideas. Good repeated themes of characters making lists of his failures and nice stage-focus work when everyone was on stage at once.
Played a preacher organizing a wedding in a story about friends running a hotel.
Fun to have Reverend Priest finding sin everywhere again. Easy wipe-off sin in this case. We may have come to an end too early. Perhaps not enough obstructions put in the way. 😆

I don't understand figure skating.
Like, I don't understand how it's physically possible. You're on an extremely slippery surface that you can't even stand on, but you're standing on thin steel blades. And then you're moving _backwards_. And then you're *jumping* and *spinning* without getting dizzy and falling over. And then you're landing without snapping your ankles and still moving.
Most other sports have nothing on that.
