Watching football. Always. (Also, reading, gaming and astronomy, so not quite 'always football'.)
I thoroughly enjoyed The Residence on Netflix and hope there is a second season, but more than that - Patrick Doumbe needs his own series. Best character on TV in years.

Well played Timothy Hornor.

Really sad news. Twin Peaks was a must watch, for me, at the start of the 90s. Fantastic television. RIP.

I read North Woods, by Daniel Mason, over Christmas. A fantastic read. Probably my favourite book of 2024 (I don't think that's due to recency bias 😊.) I recommend it to anyone, but if you loved Cloud Atlas, then I think this is definitely for you.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?
