I count myself very fortunate to live close to the Brisbane river where I can find a patch of grass and enjoy a pleasant end to the Easter long weekend.

Front third is lush green grass then the Brisbane river through the middle. Apartment buildings and the City Cat (ferry) terminal are the other side with blue sky and patchy white clouds.

🚶 Time for a walk along the river to wind out the long weekend.

🫖 Washed the car, which is my one chore for the day. Now for a cup of tea, hot cross bun and catch up on some rss feeds.

I spotted Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as I was flicking through Netflix last night.

I’ve seen it before but long enough ago that although parts were familiar I couldn’t remember all of it and thoroughly enjoyed the rewatch. I’d forgotten how good Gary Oldman is as George Smiley.

Some spoiler free thoughts on Star Trek Picard S3E8.

My two favourite lines:

“Is this a rescue mission or a continuation of the torture”

“Personal space is a right”

My favourite scene was the conference room, complete TNG fan service and I loved it. 🖖🏻📺

Just watched The Mandalorian S3E6.

For a show that’s about “The” Mandalorian it’s spending a lot of time on Bo-Katan. Is she now “The” Mandalorian?

Not even sure why they bother showing Grogu apart from merchandising tie-in.

I’d like more Andor instead of this. 📺

🐰 Rainy Good Friday = Cup of tea ✅ Cat asleep on lap ✅ Netflix ✅

The WFH supervisor is beginning to look unhappy with me. Most likely because she thinks food should have been provided by now.

A black and white cat with a grumpy look on her face laying on a curved cat cushion on top of a white bookcase. A blue wall behind.

Someone needs a little more practice at hiding ready to pounce.

A red throw rug is over a large armchair. A black cat tail and part of a paw are visible poking out from under the throw.

On my last trip to Europe I was fortunate to visit the Belvedere building complex in Vienna on a clear sunny day. One of my favourite photos from that trip is the baroque palace and its mirror image in the water in front.

A large white baroque palace with green roof, two main levels and a smaller third and fourth level in the middle third. The palace is clearly reflected in the very large pond in front.
