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. 📺

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

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.

My friend Ash is a passionate advocate for cycling. What I enjoy is how he’s not negative towards cars and drivers the way some are, he just shows the positive aspects of cycling. I just love this one of riding around Brisbane that he’s recently posted to his YouTube channel.

When I travel I like to bring back souvenirs that will be used, not just looked at.

This knife from a trip to Kyoto, Japan, has “Peter” stamped in Japanese script on it. It’s used regularly and whenever I slice something up I’m reminded of the holiday.

A knife with a wooden handle on a benchtop. The paper under the knife says Aritsugu WAGOKORO knife.

I wasn’t very prompt at trading this in. I wonder if my niece will still honour it despite the must be used by date.
