Monk series last 3 episodes.
Very nice series ender, nice endings for every character, nothing surprising, it all seemed like natural conclusions to stories in the series. Like a short story, you see how the series was just a section of their lives, there was a before and there is an after.
I think the series was about love, grief and friendship.
I do wonder how eccentric special Monk's skills were. Can every viewer figure it out?

TV review. Secrets of the Neanderthals on Netflix.
A lovely documentary with good dramatic depictions of Neanderthals and Neanderthal life and the scientists who work to reveal their heritage. 3 hobbits
If anyone is interested I can recommend the book Kindred by Rebecca Wragg Sykes on Neanderthals. Best book I read last year, it used science to bring Neanderthal people to life. The stories were very moving. https://www.rebeccawraggsykes.com/kindred
Preeeeeety sure the mrs car needs a new clutch. Pretty sure it needed a new one when we brought it, but SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless) living out his little Evo-driver-fuckboi fantasies in it cant be helping. She's gonna make me pay for this.
Urghhh its like ghostbusters ii and i am vigo
Which is oddly ironic as i am marathoning the US version of ghosts. The UK version is some warm fuzzies but the US is straight up unhinged and i am here for it.
the new chuck portrait? π¬
I actually love it. It's like two portraits in one, a portrait of Britain and all it's blood soaked history and a portrait of Charles, a man living in the now trying to make a new history and his history.
Alrighty. I have my 6 hour YouTube video, my little IT lab setup, 4 colour pen and exercise books.
Let's go!
Az900?
Nah just brushing up on server 2016 and GPO. Will be doing az900 after this.
I've been around since dos 4.0 so this stuff isn't too difficult, it's just practice really. The underlying systems I understand.
Same stuff, different platform. Dos 3.1 checking in π€£
Az900 is pretty easy, youβll ace it. Itβs a memory game.
Daaaaamn and I thought dos 4 was old school lol. Don't miss editing autoexec.bat and config.sys to get stuff working.
Glad to hear az900 is straight forward!

I have purchased a crispy pork banh mi with extra extra chilli. Time to nuke my sinuses from orbit.
I saw a kitty litter box with enter and exit doors and I wondered if kitty would care if it accidentally Dutch ovened it self.
Mickey has been snoozing in my oodie, and he doesn't seem to mind huffing his own farts. So prolly not lol
If someone farts in my house the dog licks the air but if it's him he pretends he's asleep.
god I want that KFC snack pack for lunch, but 6 nugs PLUS popcorn chicken and chips is way too much to tackle solo.
Those are like an appetizer before the family bucket for me.
Ha I was also about to say that sounds like a pre-lunch snack
It's like a 2 minute warm up and stretch before starting proper exercise
I wish I could be satisfied with that offering though

time i make my signature dish
It's bin day and we're waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.
Did he notice? Absolutely not.
Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.
Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.
My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it's round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver's performance.
I can relate to this.
Sometimes my back is so sore I can't bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it's at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can't I can't.

I clean up, whenever I haven't I'm just bothered by litter around my street until the council monthly sweeper comes through.
I like it when my street is clean. If there's any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I'll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours' bins wouldn't have been picked up if knocked over.
Itβs bin day and weβre waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.
might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.
Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn't my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.
yeah same for me! Accidents happen, not realizing they happened is... concerning.

Looking dapper, Toby!!
Sleeping for two days straight has helped. Still feel rubbish, butβ¦less rubbish
How do I be charming when I have no charm? Advice needed several years ago
HIGHLY contextual on who your trying to charm and for what purpose.
Charm comes from being your authentic self. Sounds cliche but that whole "you could be the best, most delicious apple, but there will still be people who don't like apples" saying.
Be you, the whole of you. And you will attract and charm those who you like as well.
To be charming I think you need to learn the art of the schmooze. Basically telling people what they want to hear.
