So what's everyone doing for the long weekend?

I mean, other than procrastinating at work.

Sit in the sun. Go for a cycle. Read a book.

Winter sun is the best. And this weekend is looking great for it.

That all sounds great! Any particular books you're reading currently?

withersailor@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I'm on a roll with Asimov atm. Robots! Also got a fantasy book to finish by Simon Hawke.

Sounds great! I've been reading Terry Pratchett on and off for a while, I'm looking to start back on Lord of the Rings again soon too.

I've read some of Terry Pratchett. Keep meaning to read more. But so many books on my reading list. Lol. More time now without Reddit. (Unless I spend it on Lemmy)

Steam train rides in Bathurst

How was the ride?

root@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 3y

Very nice. Was on the Bathurst to Wimbledon ride and there was a section where the train was curving left and right. Awesome to see the entire line of carriages as the train made its way up the track.

I'm going to watch the new Spiderverse movie and try to get outside in the sun for a chunk of Sunday / Monday

I reckon taking the kids to see the Spiderverse movie is a great idea. There is still something pretty special about watching a huge screen in the dark with 100’s of other people.

Can definitely recommend checking it out, I found it to be better than the first one.

Don't actually get long weekends normally but vegetating in Swan Reach with wife for anniversary contemplating getting out of bed.

Long term goals for the day include having a cup of coffee

min0nim@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 3y

Setting goals is very important. You’re one step ahead of me.

Playing Diablo 4, celebrating my son's birthday, chillaxing in fine weather on Mond... damn, 80% chance of rain.

I was a bit of a fan of the original Diablo back in the day, but never played the sequels. How do you like 4?

NightSicarius@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 3y

I'm enjoying it. The campaign was enjoyable and had some great Blizzard cutscenes as usual. I find the end game activities to be much the same as D3 - running nightmare dungeons and whispers bounties and the occasional world event.

You guys have a long weekend coming up?

min0nim@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 3y

Mate, every weekend is a long weekend in sunny Sydney!

redpenguin@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 3y

Waiting for the SO to come back from THE GREATEST CITY ON EARTH (Sydney).
