Dear Diary

I have officially hit the point where I'm climbing the walls and want to get outside. It's only been a couple of weeks, I wouldn't have thought staying at home all the time would be quite this difficult. It's more craving the normality of my normal life and the partial fear that it's never going to be the same. I'm a cranky old man stuck in my ways and I don't like the idea of my life forever changing. It's done that enough.

All those little jobs around the house have been done. I've done everything I can in the garden. I suspect if it was possible to purchase the supplies, I'd be re-decorating!

I have also been roped into playing a ridiculous game on my tablet. Samantha & Lucy both play a game called Kim Kardashian: Hollywood and they needed more friends so I got talked into playing. While it does kill a few minutes, I'm not entirely sure I get the game. Having said that, I suspect cranky old man is not the target audience for the game. I also haven't a clue who Kim Kardashian is, past a name I see/hear every now and again. Why didn't they want me to play some football based game? I'm finding myself curious about what other simple, time-killing, games are out there but I wouldn't have a clue where to start?

So lets throw this out. Anyone got any recommendations of free, easy to use, games for either android tablet or pc?

It's not free, but Spaceward Ho! was $5 for Android. It's like the elegant skeleton of a 4X game; I can do a small galaxy game in like 10 minutes. One of my best purchases ever in terms of value per dollar.

I also play Lexic, which is free, it's basically Boggle.

I sued to play nethack but it's not so simple.

freeciv and freecol are free clones of Civilization II and Colonization. I play them on Linux but there might be Windows versions. (Ditto nethack.)
