ever since I was a kid knowing that I would not be able to head out today because of sitting in my window watching the rain come down the window I’ve always had to flex up and get creative with what I was gonna do, I remember going to my mum miserable in the kitchen asking her what I could do — my mum seemed to always have ‘rainy day’ activities, be it baking or cleaning or something she was particularly happy to go into wet day mode.
When my dad was around he was the same, trying to get the house moved on more, pulling up wooden floors (I still have no idea why) and just generally knocking seven bells of shite out of anything that looked like it needed replacing.
But eventually I got good at finding my own happy place, be it the computers - the spectrum, the c64, the Amigas, the pentiums and the amd’s and flashing light modems the hunger for bigger, stronger, faster, more visual, more speedy become an addiction in my teens and into my twenties — those were good computer years for me, it seemed that if I did enough work I could literally keep upgrading stuff each week.
I’d have network cards switched out, new graphic cards, opening up new games that I could not play before and on sundays I’d connect via modem for 1v1 head to head playing something like duke nukem with a friend who was very good at the game! :)
I talk about it in the vlog today. .. . go give it a listen if you haven’t already, if you have what’s your favourite thing to do on a rainy day?
