A handful of nice things:
1. I saw a whole bunch of snowdrops when I was in town the other day! I don't remember ever seeing any/many before, so this many was really nice (someone had a whole garden full; it was amazing).
2. Someone has installed a book box near what used to be the post office, which is a few minutes' walk from my house, and I am very happy about that. It's not massive, but I hope people will use it.
3. There are currently three crocuses in my garden. It feels too early for them to be growing (I associate them with spring/Easter, and neither of those things is happening yet), but the weather got warmer, so in some ways, I'm not surprised they're coming up.

In other news, I accidentally got to the end of Tactics Advance? I ended up at the final boss fights without realising yesterday afternoon. Which means I got waaaay further than I thought the first time I ever played (I got to Mateus, and got put off because I didn't know how the vampires worked).
I don't really have much to say, except that I understand WAY more German than I expected (I was using my dictionary mainly for the weapons stuff). I think it helped that I was reading it out loud to myself as well (although probably a good job no-one could hear me, because my pronunciation is likely awful).
I don't know what I will play after this. I did think about going through all my DS/3DS games and playing/finishing them (for those that have an end point, so not either of the Style Boutique ones, and not New Leaf, and probably not Mario Kart 7, either). Or I could just play TWEWY for the nine hundredth time,,,

Additionally, I just bought three art books from the Book Depository, none of which were the ones I went on there to get, lol. (I've got birthday money, and it wants me to spend it, even as I tie myself in knots doing so). I went to get watercolour painting books, and came away instead with two by MIND (the UK mental health charity) and one about creating every day. I don't know if they will be any use to me (I mean, I hope so, I spent money on them!) but I guess we will have to wait and see!
(They're all due to ship this week, what's the betting they come on the day I am out? At least redelivery is a thing, but knowing my luck, that's exactly what will happen).
