🍸 Started raining just as I was going to go for my walk. Guess I’ll just have a G&T instead.

Fiction to look out for in 2025. I want to diversify a bit more in the fiction I’m reading so this is a handy list. 📚

Going to treat myself to a new Mac Mini for my birthday this month and trying to decide how much internal storage I want/need or whether to just buy an external SSD.

🍕 Making pizza for lunch because why not and adding anchovies, lots and lots of anchovies.

📺 Finished watching The Diplomat (Season 2, 2024) ★★★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series The Diplomat (Season 2). 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 Great selected. The review reads: The first season of this had me hooked and the second didn’t disappoint. Keri Russell as the Ambassador who doesn’t want to be one, Rufus Sewell as her charismatic husband who still wants to be one, Rory Kinnear as an erratic UK prime minister, and Allison Janney giving C.J. Cregg vibes! What more could you want. The ending of the final episode was possibly my favourite bit of the whole season; few words, powerful music and the long shot adding drama, brilliant! Great set up for season three.

I know people love fireworks but look after your pets tonight and keep an eye out for dogs or cats which might have bolted from home in fright.

Finally caught up on my tv reviews, now to do the missing movie reviews. Then I can check my stats for the year.

I’ve been hanging onto my X account as some people I follow haven’t migrated elsewhere. I didn’t delete as I don’t want anyone else getting the username. However, the time has come to remove the content and just keep the account name. Decided to buy Cyd and use it to archive then scrub the account.

📺 Finished watching Obituary (2024) ★★★★

A rectangular image with a review of the television series Obituary (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 Great selected. The review reads: This is a brilliant bit of dark comedy in the way only the Irish can deliver. An obituary writer is suddenly switched to only being paid per obituary so what else do you do in a small rural town when you have bills to pay? You ensure there are obituaries to write. Siobhan Cullen as the lead is outstanding, caught up in an older mystery murder she discovers she has a panache for ridding herself of problems and getting paid for doing it. You’ll want to binge this one.
