The dog is harassing me for food. He doesn't understand daylight savings.

I'm sure it makes me Officially Old but Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig is one of my favourite tv shows. I would love to go on a gentle and beautiful holiday with Sandi.

Walk complete. Now football

Sun is streaming in my window onto the couch so I have given up any thought of moving, have made a G&T, pulled out the diary and sitting here planning holidays and just chilling.

I imagine this is how normies (ie people whose brains are not filled with depression etc) get to live all the time. It's nice. I approve.

Mmm vanilla latte packet coffee

I bemoan chicken and vegetables, but holy fuck do I feel good today.

Like a different person.

Energetic, focused, motivated.

Crazy shit.

Edit: Noticeable performance increase at the gym as well.

s'pose I should make a to do list

Bird cage cleaned and renovated to Sir’s liking. He appears to approve of pea sprouts.

Movie Review.

This is my 3rd movie about tv weather guys. Ground Hog Day, The Weatherman and today's movie, All Hail.

All Hail, from some of the team who brought you The Revenant and Bardo.

This movie has the same feel as Bardo. I admit I love this kind of cinematography/direction, it uses familiar ways to set the scene, it's feels up close and personal looking at actors without making you feel uncomfortable, it all feels natural and it's so easy to let the story happen. Every actor is perfectly cast. Every set and location is just right, every camera angle .

It makes everyday life and our world look so beautiful .

Seems to me this team loves to use the elements to tell a story, fire, ice, water, air, earth. There is always an interaction between people and the elements that is part of the story.

It's the story of a very well educated tv meteorologist who starts to believe the hype of his own forecasting record. It's about pride. Not as bad as Bill Murray who brought a curse down upon himself by saying "I make the weather". This guy, Miguel, brings a mild curse by saying "I guarantee it".

So he fails, is condemned and he must find redemption and grace by getting back in touch with real people and his family, not just users and stans, and getting back in touch with nature.

I had to look up who Professor Neurus was. 🤔

4.5 hobbits. So easy to watch, that's why I think watching twice would be a good idea.

Walk walked. Groceries shopped. New pair of fingerless gloves bought (merino+possum for extra coziness). Bluey watched. I think it's time for a cuppa and to dig out the oodie

Have made a report about last night’s yard screamer. The more I think about it the more it seems like a SA situation.

I’ve just had the most luxuriant breakfast

Well I have a problem.

Had a new pump in the sump installed recently to feed the tanks and it is not turning off when emptied. I believe the float valve is giving incorrect instruction!

I am not a plumber so I will shake the things and give it a kick and with any luck...

It's still not quite pumpkin soup season yet but the pumpkin can't wait so I'm gonna have to make it today. Maybe. No promises.

Just had my first porrdige of the season. yummy

Can confirm, new Bluey is funny until it’s not
