I went to a funeral this morning and they’re Irish so of course there was the traditional wake after. We’re three hours in and no sign of stopping any time soon. Thank goodness it’s a Friday and nothing to do tomorrow so I can recover 🍻

📺 Finished watching Fallout (2024) ★★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series Fallout (Season 1). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: I’m always going to watch a show with a post-apocalyptic setting. Based on the game of the same name, which I’ve never played, you could see how each episode was probably a stage of the game as it progressed. A rollicking good blast of fun, you don’t need to know the game and can just sit back and enjoy the character quest, the mysteries popping up you would’ve needed to solve in the game, and the dark but entertaining characters.

Downloading my instagram archive and selected everything for the date range. My great grandparents signed me up via telegram.

🚶‍♂️ Gorgeous 22°c autumn afternoon for a walk. Lot of people getting their insta content in the late afternoon sun along the river.

☕ Coffee required. Sitting on a selection panel for most of today. Writes off the whole day as the brain won’t be up for actual work by the time we finish at 4pm.

🎵 I appear to have gone down a John Denver music video rabbit hole on YouTube. He recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he wrote himself according to Wikipedia.

Gorgeous colour at sunset tonight. Love the way it was reflected in the river. I wasn’t the only one stopping to take a photo.

A length of green grass and a cement path in the foreground. A river curving from left to right. On the other side of the river the silhouettes of apartment buildings are visible. Above those is a cloudy sky lit up in a vibrant orange by the setting sun.

📺 Finished watching 3 Body Problem (2024) ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series 3 Body Problem (Season 1). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: Complex and not for everyone. Some of the underlying plot lines needed better exposition but watchable. Perhaps having read the book I had higher hopes for this and was left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the end.

When I’m out walking I occasionally see a lady walking her dog and pushing a stroller. She has her two cats in the stroller and told me one day she didn’t think it was fair the dog was able to go outside and not the cats. It makes me smile whenever I see them all.

☕ Back to work after a nice 11 day break. First the coffee, then the emails.
