2020s
October was such a dreary month and the rest of the year is shaping up to be more of the same. I’m someone who likes to be at home but the lockdown blues are starting to get to me too. I haven’t felt like doing anything for weeks. Music and films are keeping me a bit buoyant.

I’d never seen Silicon Valley before so I started a binge watch. One season down and I’m really enjoying it. Mike Judge’s name on something is usually a sign that it’s going to be good.
