Sun is streaming in my window onto the couch so I have given up any thought of moving, have made a G&T, pulled out the diary and sitting here planning holidays and just chilling.

I imagine this is how normies (ie people whose brains are not filled with depression etc) get to live all the time. It's nice. I approve.

my brain is 95% work , 1% is walking in the park looking at trees and finding banksia pods, 2% is watching movies, 2% skiving here

I might be exaggerating but not much

Edit: Noticeable performance increase at the gym as well.

I almost want to turn the heater on for emotional support. But it's 19 degrees inside so I will refrain. But it looks cold.

It really doesn't help that I've just returned from 10 days in a tropical island resort. It's like being plunged into winter all at once.

Looking forward to the reunion for mafs, last few episodes have been a snore fest. Don't think I'll be watching future seasons though, been getting more and more obvious with the forced storylines by the producers and clear terrible matches.

Had a new pump in the sump installed recently to feed the tanks and it is not turning off when emptied. I believe the float valve is giving incorrect instruction!

I am not a plumber so I will shake the things and give it a kick and with any luck...

Movie Review.

This is my 3rd movie about tv weather guys. Ground Hog Day, The Weatherman and today's movie, All Hail.

All Hail, from some of the team who brought you The Revenant and Bardo.

This movie has the same feel as Bardo. I admit I love this kind of cinematography/direction, it uses familiar ways to set the scene, it's feels up close and personal looking at actors without making you feel uncomfortable, it all feels natural and it's so easy to let the story happen. Every actor is perfectly cast. Every set and location is just right, every camera angle .

It makes everyday life and our world look so beautiful .

Seems to me this team loves to use the elements to tell a story, fire, ice, water, air, earth. There is always an interaction between people and the elements that is part of the story.

It's the story of a very well educated tv meteorologist who starts to believe the hype of his own forecasting record. It's about pride. Not as bad as Bill Murray who brought a curse down upon himself by saying "I make the weather". This guy, Miguel, brings a mild curse by saying "I guarantee it".

So he fails, is condemned and he must find redemption and grace by getting back in touch with real people and his family, not just users and stans, and getting back in touch with nature.

I had to look up who Professor Neurus was. 🤔

4.5 hobbits. So easy to watch, that's why I think watching twice would be a good idea.

Useful shopping this weekend for some winter clothes which needed replacing. 2 hoodies and a pair of track pants. Looking forward to coziness. Although it’s annoying that things just don’t last like they used to, quality is so much lower than it used to be.
