When your Tesco delivery is just lots of bottles of prosecco...

Delivery chap asked if they were on special offer. They were, but I did point out they were for our wedding & not just a night in 😂

Latest binge watched:

Cinderella Closet #jdrama - guessed the ep 1 'twist' in the first meeting scene, but enjoyed how the series played out.

Idol I #kdrama - good if you like romance with a side order of murder mystery, otherwise might find the mystery is a bit slow.

So #blseries folks - should I watch Addicted, before watching After Addiction?

I see a few people are doing this...

Very cold after 2hr meeting on campus in an unheated, primarily glass room.

Back home under blankets & wearing my lovely hand warmers (fingerles mittens?) made by a friend.

Finished watching #kdrama Can this Love be Translated? Good enough to binge over a few days. Enjoyed one of the main story mechanisms but doubt that condition would manifest like that irl.

Today's agenda:

Bridgerton #costumedrama

Latest ep of Dare you to Death #blseries #thaibl

I think I might have seen #jdrama #blseries Chosen Home mentioned on here & then forgotten about it.

Anyway, Netflix offered me it today so now halfway through.

Found family with a side order of life philosophy.

Doing a lightening talk at the University Science & Technology Librarians Group (USTLG) tomorrow, about library research support.

My files tell me I last presented at USTLG 12 and 14 years ago. Just before/after I moved into Research Services, from being a science librarian.

Bit later in the New Year than planned but just got around to starting new pages in my #kdrama #jdrama #thaidrama #blseries notebook.

Had already lost track of what was dropping & I was watching! 👀

Organised differently, so I can hopefully join in with end of year challenges in 2026.

Just finished #kdrama Dynamite Kiss.

Enjoyed overall but can see why there was criticism - those last couple of episodes were a bit of a mess.

Did they need to use that trope... Really?

Sure they could have recreated the kiss in a more interesting way.

Next: Can this love be translated? Idol I?

I've apparently become one with the car park...

Waiting to pick @signorfurioso.bsky.social up & he pointed out I just messaged him to say "I am the car park"

Not the car park Richard III was found in, but not that far away 🤣

Took my Nana's eternity ring to be mended, so I can wear her engagement, wedding & eternity rings (on my little finger!) at my wedding.

Realised the engagement/wedding rings must be nearly 100yrs old, given my oldest Aunt recently turned 90.
