Got up, fed the cat, went back to bed with a cup of tea and my book. Wednesday public holidays are the best.

I’ve decided my new response to “but why” questions at work will be the mangled metaphor I trotted out today - because the circus keeps on rolling until we bring the boom gate down.

I’ve finished the trilogy of books the Silo tv series is based on and feel like my view on the first two episodes is validated. The sheriff and wife plot line doesn’t really feature in the books. It’s referenced and sets events in motion but didn’t need two episodes. They should have been condensed.

Wearing a solidarity message for my fellow introverts.

A red lapel badge pinned on a blue and white tweed coat. In white writing the badge has “Introverts Unite” and a raised fist. In smaller lettering “separately, in your own homes”.

I think there was more noise in the neighbourhood for the Matildas win than I’ve ever heard for any male game of any football code. The tension of that penalty shootout was collectively shared across the neighbourhood! Amazing stuff. ⚽️

A friend of mine occasionally gets a bit of gentle ribbing because of his love of physical media. I dug my CDs out of storage recently and have been playing them and I think he might be on to something though. Looks like I may not be the only one. 3 Trends that prove CDs are making a comeback.

📺 Time to settle in and have a quiet Friday night watching Foundation and the season finale of Star Trek SNW. 🖖🏻

Today’s badge on the jacket.

A square lapel badge pinned to a dark jacket. It has “Don’t be a dick be kind” written on four rows with multicoloured letters.

From the way the two person crew passed too closely and fouled their oars with the four person crew the private schools have new rowing crews training on the river.

A work from home day means commute time is replaced with cat time and that’s a 200% better use of time. 🐱

A black and white cat curled up on a man’s legs that are covered by a multi coloured crochet blanket. The blanket is made from yellow, dark blue, light blue, pink, green, brown and white yarn.
