CRAFT GAMES AND MORE
Due to reaction to super strong pain meds I've barely done any craft this week.

I've gamed a little, finally getting the hang of Atelier Rorona after 5th go with months & months going by between retrys. I don't like time limited games, but I've worked out I need to do the quest first then go explore. I'm on the original version, not the remake.

I've also got a smidge further with Final Fantasy X – Yuna had to do the sending of souls at Kilika, and I haven't got further than that yet because I go engrossed with Atelier Rorona.

I haven't quite baked this week, though I did try a breakfast smoothie of banana, milk, spinach, mixed berries, flax seed and honey which was way more delicious than I expected. Will repeat it & do a blog post on it soon as I didn't take a pic when I made it.
