Hubby had a gift voucher from last Christmas, luckily it was a 12 month voucher because about a month ago he went and purchased himself a couple of new games. Luckily, you’ve all heard we quit Mario Brothers due to a certain person’s anger problems. And as you may have noticed from the photo above, he is pretty darn excited about it.
It even comes with a fishing rod and reel attachment.
So now he can sit, in our living room and do one of his favourite things. Fish. Without bait or a boat or getting anymore freckles on his already crowed nose. And for a couple of weeks he was happy with that. One day when left alone he played for almost 4 hours.
And he stresses and strains and grunts and groans and carries on. He sigh’s and swears and swigs bear or bottles of water. And there is a crazy amount of concentration. This one time I attempted to interrupt to ask him to at least mute the horrible music and he growled at me. Like I was trying to steal his doggie treats. Grrrr. He’ll deny it. But I’ll forgive him, I’m a bit like that when he comes between me and the laptop.
But it’s weird that he hasn’t been actual fishing in ages but now he fishes {how the hell should I have spelt that?} in our living room. I’d rather he was actually fishing. It seems more sensible somehow.
