 I did manage to visit Pantler but there was precious little left, there was only a single type of cake left.

 I was outside Pantler at River Valley Road today. There was a long queue and I did try to go in.

I just finished "The Trojan War" by Barry Strauss. I bought it two decades ago at Borders then.

I recommend it, it is a compelling read.

 I have been reading a lot of Japanese crime novels, all of which were borrowed from the library. 

 I managed to get my Scimitar Mk 2 in War Thunder recently, it looks to be a lacklustre vehicle.

Paladin!

 I pre-purchased Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred expansion tonight. I gave the new Paladin class a try.

I have read forty-nine issues of Jane's Defence Weekly this year. I look to reading the three remaining issues eventually. I borrowed them all from the library.

 I went to get a new pair of running shoes. I had worn out my Salomon trail running shoes as well as my Xeno minimalist shoes, they both have numerous holes in them. The Salomon hasn't got much of a heel left, it is flat.

I got New Balance this time. I wonder about adapting to it.

 "Head over Heels" by Tears for Fears has been a favourite since I heard it when I was in California in 1985.

 There is not much to say now, maybe in October, I will say something.

 I have been exploring around the island for quite a bit.

 This blog isn't dead in case you are wondering. I haven't written anything for quite a bit that's for sure.
