📺 Finished watching Kaleidoscope (2023)
I really enjoyed this series. I watched it in the order suggested by Netflix but I’m really interested to see how it plays out watching the episodes either chronologically or in a different non-chronological order.
Cooking tea tonight was a relay; I started and my wife finished. Somewhere along the way we got our wires crossed and ended up eating both tonight’s meal and tomorrow’s lunch as one dish 😆
It was super windy here last night (80+ km/hr). Saw this on my walk this morning. The sign reads “High Winds. Mixed medium. Artist: Mother Nature (Temporary Installation)”
Went to Whitby to play hockey. We lost. Beaten by a better team on the day. Fish and chips and a pint as a consolation prize
Finished reading: Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency by Olivia Laing 📚
As with every other book I’ve read by Olivia Laing I’ve come away with a list of artists and authors, and their work, to follow up on.
TIL about the role of a Chief Evangelist. Sounds a bit icky to me.
Finished reading: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern 📚
Woah 🤯 The perfect holiday read, I’ve devoured this over the past few days.
Question about importing feeds (eg Letterboxd) to microblog; will it pull in existing entries or just those published after the feed is added?
A walk at the coast was a great way to start the day (and year)
Finished reading in 2022: Titus Alone by Mervyn Peake 📚
Finishing up the Gormenghast trilogy. I was really surprised just how much I enjoyed it and how long the characters have stayed with me. Really want to re-watch the BBC TV adaptation.
Finished reading in 2022: The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz 📚
Finished reading in 2022: Roseanna (The Martin Beck series, Book 1) by Maj Sjöwall 📚
It’s difficult to tell whether the functional language of this was due to the author’s style or the translation to English. Either way, I found it’s starkness compelling and a good addition to the atmosphere of the story.
Finished reading in 2022: Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver 📚
I’ve read a couple of other books by Kingsolver which, while I enjoyed I found overly descriptive. This was both an easy and enjoyable read.
Making Yorkshire puddings tonight with a new recipe and a new tin. What could possibly go wrong 🤞
Finished reading: Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Level 6 by John le Carré 📚
This might have been my first le Carré but it won’t be my last.
Wondered why I was seeing a flurry of finished book posts. Thought it might be that reading is a microbloggers main activity during twixtmas, but now reassessing as I realise there’s books I need to log in order to add them to my 2022 reading list 😆
Finished reading: The Fortune Men by Nadifa Mohamed 📚
Read this on my summer holiday. Thought it was excellent, more so because I knew nothing about it before reading so had a surprise towards the end.
Currently reading: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern 📚
I’m always mildly disappointed when the covers available in Epilogue don’t match the edition that I’m reading 😢
📺 Just finished watching 1899. It started out as compelling viewing but just after halfway it started to get more and more ridiculous. Kinda frustrating really
Left the house for the first time since Sunday and the light was beautiful
