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.

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.

Time to laze on the couch with a glass of red and watch the two new episodes of Only Murders in the Building (S3E1&2). The combination of Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short has been brilliant through seasons one and two and now Meryl Streep is in the mix! 📺

My personal mail was constantly bombarded with newsletters, morning/daily news summaries and emails from companies to the point that every time I opened it I was just deleting without reading.

I unsubscribed from a lot of things over the weekend and my inbox was wonderfully quiet this morning.

One cork missing but the sign of a great lunch. Nearly four hours at one of my favourite Italian restaurants. 🍷

Three corks in a small white bowl. The corks have the name of the wineries on them.

🇮🇹 Heading off to a long lunch at one of my favourite Italian restaurants. Very good wine list with three pages worth from Mt Etna.
