Lego World Map done and up on the wall! We decided to put New Zealand in the middle. That looks much better 🤪

Getting closer to completion. Kids might have a bit of lego fatigue 😁

A rainbow cloud! I don’t think I’ve seen one of these before. It didn’t stick around for long and my phone struggled to capture it about 20km away.

New Zealand just doing its nature thing.

It’s school holiday time so we decided to do the coolest lego picture. Once done it will be the World Map.

Only 11695 pieces.. 😂

I’ll be looking out for this.

(I still can’t look at a picture of Ade Edmondson or Rik Mayall without thinking about Bottom!)

A short thread of some signed books that are coming our way:

Let's start with Berserker by Adrian Edmondson - signed copies available to pre-order now, it's out next week!

Now finished OverLondon!

OverLondon is part of such an imaginative world, and the first Reign Agency investigation is filled with plenty of interesting characters caught up in a villainous plot.

Once the investigation gets going it speeds to its conclusion faster than a pirate to booty. 💙📚
Now reading the freshly released and impressively orange OverLondon.

A fantasy whodunnit with a pirate detective and a dastardly villain.

I’m reliably told to expect Exploding Priests, Combat Nuns, and Aristocrats Who Can’t Tie Their Own Shoelaces. 💙📚

What a brilliant F1 race!

Ferrari normally get stick for their race strategy but they nailed it today. And Sainz keeping Norris behind him but making sure he could defend against Russell with DRS was superb driving.

And, first points for Lawson 👏🇳🇿

I guess the quick brown fox decided it was more fun not to jump over the lazy dog.
First ever dog-fox hybrid discovered in the wild
The young wild canid was given the names “graxorra” and “dogxim” by carers and researchers who say she was shy and cautious, preferring to stay away from people.

Just watching Slow Horses, which is superb, but my brain can’t get over how good the theme song is.

The lyrics and vocals Mick Jagger added to Daniel Pemberton’s music are perfect.

I ended up watching this today. It actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I mean your brain has to be disengaged (and even then I found it hilarious how inconsequential getting stabbed is in the Ghosted universe).

Still, it had its moments and was kind of fun. 📽️
Anyone watched Ghosted on AppleTV?

I just watched the trailer. I have a sense it’s not going to be great but are we talking just ok or is it bad enough that it actually becomes good? 🤷‍♂️📽️

It’s election time in New Zealand and someone had done a piece of inspired vandalism to an ACT party billboard. Their leader David Seymour has been turned into Ken. 😂 Love it.

I just popped into the supermarket to buy rice crackers and came across a limited edition cheeseburger flavour!?

I’m struggling to imagine condensing down the flavour of a cheeseburger and putting it into a cracker. Or, even why you would want to.

Spending some time with Khan and his superior intellect.

(Rewatching old favourites seems to be done in bit sized chunks these days.)

This film also has my favourite Kirstie Alley performance. Eyebrow acting to aspire to.
