I have started playing a few games again. I am virtually rediscovering the joy of mastering game mechanics. And, I think, in a more relaxed way than I used to when I was a heavier player.
It does not, of course, hurt that what I am playing are two wonderful casual games - Tiny wings and Whale trail.
Possibly the safest bets there are for pure, quick and casual fun.
I feel quite torn by Whale trail's in-app purchases (not that I need or want them to enjoy the game), and I was almost shocked when Tiny wings threw up a standard "Like me? Rate me please!"-dialog.
Otherwise, it is all blissful flying.
After a week of travel, a little cold and generally well-filled days, I went for a run in the forest this evening. It felt like catching up with and settling into being on holiday. Like my feet finally finding solid ground again after traveling far and wide. In no way has it been bad to travel - exactly the opposite in fact - but it is still very good to be home again and know that the rest of this week is firmly rooted right here.
