Rings of Power this week felt like a filler episode and I’m finding the Harfoot storyline annoying. 📺

The BBC has released the trailer for The Power of the Doctor, which is the final Doctor Who episode with Jodie Whittaker and also the final with Chris Chibnall in charge.

I’m excited for it but mainly because it means Chibnall is gone. Jodie has been ill served with him in charge during her time. I’m very much hoping Russell T Davies finds a way to bin most of the terrible Chibnall concepts, starting with the stupid timeless child premise. 📺

Apparently being one of my oldest friends allowed my dinner guest to work out the passcode for my phone and put Celine on. Only took three guesses because “you’re so predictable and have been for the 35 years I’ve known you”.

The third and final book in a series was released on Audible only early last year. The author intends to release it as an actual book and indicated that would happen in September. It hasn’t yet and it’s becoming both annoying and disappointing. I want to finish the series but I’m not a fan of audio books.

Using Focus, I’ve set up my iPhone to change home screens at night. Now the cat is giving me a look of disapproval for using my phone. 🐈

A little stop at the local craft brewery at the end of my afternoon walk. It’s all about a balanced life.

A schooner of beer in front of stainless steel brewing vats. The wall in the background says PARCHED (extremely thirsty).

I am simply incapable of walking past a stationery store without browsing to see if there is something I need. Unsurprisingly, there usually is.

I stumbled across Zetta Florence in Melbourne last Friday and wandered out with a new port red coloured notebook and a fountain pen.

Found a nice little spot to have coffee and listen to some music.

There was dinner and now a show.

I just flew from Brisbane to Melbourne, Australia. I love to fly and one of my great joys is travelling by air. The people watching at the airport, being up among the clouds, the adventure of going somewhere.

However, I’m increasingly wondering how much more I should do given the environmental impact.

If only Australia had reasonably priced high speed rail to traverse its vast distances. We have rail, but it’s neither high speed or value for money/time compared to plane travel.
