Err, yes, we didn't go aboard while we had Loki dog.
Mine done. Jay's name change means another try with more ID, to avoid sending off his driving license.

Binged #jdrama Romantics Anonymous - enjoyed. A good shortish watch. Interesting that one of the lead characters was Korean, which was important for some dialogue.
Finished #kdrama Miss Incognito - also enjoyed this one, but it did bounce around tonally, from comedy to intrigue.

Introduction to systematic & evidence synthesis reviews
Search Strategies for systematic reviews
Made each shorter than the original session, till managed to massively overrun on both. D'oh! 😆

Latest episode of Punks Triangle #punkstriangle #jbl flew by.
The character sentiment behind the piercing scene was interesting....
but I am not punk when it comes to piercings. I was mostly thinking, please get that done in a proper sanitary environment! 😂

There was talk about Highlander 2 (and how bad it was) at a Jasper Fforde talk recently - Jasper was the focus puller.
Reminded me that I saw Highlander 2 at the cinema - I quite liked it because I'd never seen Highlander! 😯
I even bought the soundtrack & wondered why Queen wasn't on it 😂

The Royal Republic headline set was the highlight of the whole of the festival at Hard Rock Hell 18 #hrhrocks
They are a phenomenal live band! Powerful sound, lots of fun, go unexpectedly off-piste. #RoyalRepublic
I'll restrain myself to a few tracks 🤣

Some tracks from the wonderful Wig Wam set we saw on the Saturday night at Hard Rock Hell 18 #hrhrocks
We also saw a great acoustic covers set by Heaven's Reign, who will be playing HRH 19 (2026).
One of my favourite Wig Wam tracks. Great song and sentiment.

Back from our first ever Hard Rock Hell 🤘 #hrhrocks
We went in only knowing Electric Six - who did a great, fun set as usual. #electricsix
Glad the festival had a proper disabled seating area. So with careful pacing & resting, I managed to see most of the headline sets over three days.

Was looking for a new #kdrama to binge but ended up starting Spirit Fingers. A fun and quirky teen rom com. Now I'll have to keep up with it dropping.
Realised the rest of Miss Incognito has dropped, so three episodes of that to catch up with.

Now that Peacemaker's second season has come to an end, the characters finally have time to catch up on their TBRs.
Luckily Alex Brown (@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social) is here to recommend books for each of them—and never fear, they found something perfect for Eagly.
