Me and my little guy watched the final few episodes of Skeleton Crew over the weekend.

It is a fantastic show. Perhaps the best Star Wars has been since 'Star Wars'.

I think I prefer Andor, for all the reasons, but SC was a real hit.

Is this Jude Law's best 'Hollywood' performance?

I literally bought this in the winter and I've been using it regularly since:

I bought these Tokyo banana kitkats a month ago and I’m taking my time.

They are the best Kitkat. Great amount of chocolate and incredible taste.

Back home from Japan a couple of days ago. I am literally in mourning. Cannot watch or interact with any Japanese content. Cannot look at my pictures. Refuse to look at the things I bought. I just want to go back.

(well, here's one photo)

Lived my Yakuza life tonight in Shinjuku.

Went for yakitori and sat outside as the train rumbled past.

Went to the batting cages.

Went for lemon sours at the Lawson.

Went to the Arcade to try and win at crane games.

Happy boy

Got to take a picture with Verstappen’s championship winning car today randomly.

Was just walking to Shibuya and stumbled upon the Honda building with the car sitting in the foyer

Spent the day walking to and around Shibuya. Nothing bought (except some JLeague trading cards!).

20k steps in already and back to the hotel for a Premium Malts and swim in the pool before dinner in Shinjuku.

Day 1 in Tokyo.

I don’t love that flight. Pretty tough to get through. But feel much better this morning.

Up early to help with the jet lag and get on Japan time.

Picture dump from yesterday (exclusively from our hotel)

Lovely time at the wrestling tonight

Here we go, lads.

LUFC on the box, an SEO meeting in 30 minutes, a nice pause during the call and then back into game where hopefully Leeds are beating Luton by 15 goals.

Grabbed myself a new gaming PC last night.

I've been wanting to upgrade my 2080 that I've had in my previous Alienware desktop for a month or two now but couldn't find the right price/card.

So browsing last night, I saw this complete system for a great price and hit buy.

4K here I come!

I’ve been buying the kids Lego every year for the past eight (?) or so and this is the first year neither kids wants anything.

So instead I traded in my Lego points (that I’ve been saving for years!) and bought this bad boy for me.

The Lego Eldorado Fortress!

I am a huge fan of Gaetano Berardi going to the Sum 41 concert #LUFC

Been playing a good amount of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered these last few weeks

I think I've gone slightly further this time around than I did with the original (10 hours in?) and I'm enjoying it

However, the difficulty ramp seems a bit all over the place and I'm not sure they explain weapons well

The boy is ready to go

Big lad has a tough practice tonight. Snowing. Dark. Freezing.

PSG gang in force

Late night and I decide now is the time to start watching Mobile Suit Gundam from the very first supposed of the 1979 original.

Went to an incredible spa last night with Jana to celebrate our 7th anniversary.

It was right in the heart of the city but set in private, outdoor spaces.

We were completely naked, enjoying the hot baths, sauna and cold plunge while looking up at the cranes on Granville Island.

Loved it

The kids are asking to watch Delicious in Dungeon before bed.

It’s perhaps the perfect end to the night. A bit of action and fun and then some beautiful art or whatever they cook.

We love it
