There was a very unceremonious end to the perfect game in the 9th, with the slightest HBP, but it was exciting nonetheless.

I like baseball.

The only things I really know about baseball is who's on first and cracker jacks. But sounds exciting!

I've had some lovely banana ice-cream. It was from a small local dairy (local to the place I was at the time) dairy when I was on a day out at the coast a few years ago to blow the cobwebs away (I forget which coast, though).

Ben & Jerry's might be different.

I've found that with strawberry -- Mackie's (from Scotland) does delicious strawberry ice cream, but some of the bigger dairies can taste a bit chemically.

'Tis true. Really, the foxes' legal representative should sue both them, and Fox's Biscuits, for misuse of their name and false advertising.

On another note, I got myself a proper computer desk and I am loving it! I will also promise to keep it clutter-free and dust-free.

So what do I mean by "proper computer desk"? Well, I mean that I have been using my crampy study table from 2010 - it barely has enough space for my monitor, keyboard, and my mouse. The desktop tower had to be placed below the table. And that was less than ideal because my home is a dust-magnet. Everywhere I go, there is dust. I have no idea how, because I have little to no junk and clutter.

And get this.... I have been missing a very tiny nonessential screw from my DSLR. I was tinkering with it, dropped it, lost it. That was way back in 2018. After a change of a bedframe in my room, a thorough cleaning, and after another change in table. I want to emphasise that it's an extremely small screw.

My dad found it randomly after the two of us did a small spring clean and set up the new table.

Thank you for listening to Valentine's story of the day.

You've done several things wrong there. Volkswagen didn't do Hitler to you, it is more the work of the Third Reich and Ferdinand Porsche, the latter pretty much copying a Czech design for an affordable car for the masses. The real reason why Volkswagen is still around are the Brits, however.

Ahh, nope. I have to throw away the candy. Though I do found a stale piece of Smarties (like M&Ms, but from Nestle) lying around on the floor. And no, I did not eat it. The darn thing is covered with dust bunnies.
