Friends, I wonder, would you recommend Instagram?
I have an account I don't really use, but increasingly I know people are only updating there, so I wonder if it's for me. Given my interest and ramblings I'm not sure.
So, thoughts?

Out in the cold this morning to pick up the car after a successful (!) MOT, thought it might be a bit too nippy but it's actually quite refreshing.
Fresh air, who knew?
Have a great day all.

Rounding up the weekend writing thank you letters reminds me that I should thank all of you for even taking a second or two to read these words.
It means a lot that there are people out there who appreciate my ramblings, here's to another year of connections and chat.

Before we get too far into the New Year, a quick shout-out for some things you should catch up on.
Game: Avowed – a fun RPG that makes the slog worth it
Film: The Running Man – great performance and direction with too high a budget
Series: Marvel Zombies – surprisingly clever

Merry Christmas all, we had a wonderful birthday weekend in Bath checking out the market and having a delightful afternoon tea at the Jane Austen centre (it's her 250th birthday today by the way).
Have a fantastic week, it's almost time for a break. Let's do this.

I feel luckier on this birthday than I ever have, to be loved by these two incredible humans (mutants?) is a joy I thought I would never feel.
Six months old (!) and the fun is just beginning.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day on one that I am so incredibly thankful for.

Two things this morning. Firstly, Elio on Disney+ is a really sweet film that didn't get its chance to shine, would definitely recommend checking it out – I would have LOVED it when I was a kid.
Also, we watched the bts/Assembled episode for X-Men '97 and I NEED series 2 now.
