Currently reading: Rotherweird by Andrew Caldecott ๐Ÿ“š I knew nothing about this book but at 99p for the Kindle version I decided to take a chance. I’m very glad I did.

Iโ€™m a fan of Wes Andersonโ€™s films but, gosh, The French Dispatch is hard work. The premise is interesting but the execution is very dull. It looks beautiful but I cared nothing for whatโ€™s happening or any of the characters. I need to watch Rushmore again. ๐ŸŽฅ

I found an old notebook. Thereโ€™s a page in it that has a list of old software license codes. Virtually none of the apps still exist. Does anyone remember ecto? iView?

Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021 - โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

I never expect much from these things but this one had quite an emotional punch in the last third. Maybe itโ€™s just my current state of mine but I was quite moved.

Film log - watched Spider-Man: No Way Home. I never expect much from these things but this one had quite an emotional punch in the last third. Maybe itโ€™s just my current state of mind but I was made teary-eyed by a Spider-Man movie. ๐ŸŽฅ

I’ve read lots of good things about the Pilot iroshizuku inks. I could have bought more ink in a full bottle for less than the cost of this little set but I wanted to try a few different colours. The tsuki-yo is my favourite so far. ๐Ÿ–‹

Currently reading: Sound Within Sound by Kate Molleson ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽต

I haven’t been able to concentrate on any reading over the last few weeks due to the major stuff going on in my life but I seem to be settling down a bit now. I have a pile of music-related books to get through.

Finished reading: The Sound of Being Human by Jude Rogers ๐Ÿ“š

Trying to make the best of the first decent summer day here. A heatwave is heading for the UK according to the forecasts but, as the old joke goes, “that’s except for viewers of BBC Scotland”.

Tough week. It was my dad’s funeral on Monday. I find myself almost getting back into a “normal” routine and then I remember something and everything comes flooding back. I suppose this is the new “normal” for me now.

Nice clue in today’s Guardian cryptic crossword. Solving it will require knowing a bit of British slang.
