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.

Yes! Unfortunately I knew he had scored points before I watched the race.
Maybe, a self-imposed media blackout is a nicer way to go!
Although it’s hard to know what to trust these days. I saw this from a search yesterday. Google seems to think he won 😁

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.
🎶Surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers..🎶

It was such a clever design as they put the colour in the overlay because they couldn’t do so with the game graphics.
I also had the Octopus one.

I don’t think I’ve even heard of Buggy Blast.
I did remember the one I was thinking of after I posted. Tempest!

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.

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? 🤷♂️📽️

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. 💙📚

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.

Now re-reading The Beiderbecke Affair. (This is the fault of @georgepenney.bsky.social who asked about favourite books.)
And, as it one of my favourites I couldn’t resist revisiting old friends.
Sadly this book is now most likely to be found in second hand book shops or the Internet Archive. 💙📚

Wellington City Libraries do a monthly e-book club. They pick a book and ramp up the number of loans available to infinity (or as close to ♾️ as Libby can manage).
How did I not know this?
September’s book is Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton.
Borrowed!💙📚

I just finished The Night Agent. I thought it would be a lot better than it was.
It felt like it had all the right ingredients for a fast-paced thriller but every time I thought it would take off it meandered.
There’s a fair few changes made to make it into the Netflix TV series.

Just watched the Norwegian monster movie Troll.
It’s a lightweight, predictable b-movie but it has enough comedy moments to make it an enjoyable watch.
It’s funny how the Troll is way more likeable than its human tormentors. Made it all the more believable! 🎥

Kind of going down a rabbit hole here… but it turns out Koalas have two thumbs on a paw.
I was thinking the extra thumb would be on the other side of the hand rather than two thumbs together. I guess the Koala’s had a better idea.
