    On holidays until Easter. I like to match my digital out of office with a physical version.

    Side on view of a desk. Sitting on the desk is a silver metal drink bottle with a sticker showing the face of a cat. Beside that is a white card saying “chill” above a smiling blue emoji face. Behind is a computer stand and monitor.

    Fire alarm went off so we all went down the stairs and outside. Well except for two people who came down the lift about 10 minutes later just as the fire brigade arrived. They scored a pretty pointed rebuke from the one fireman.

    Takes a special sort of dumb to use a lift when the alarm is sounding.

    🍿 Dune: Part Two - he’s not the messiah he’s just a very naughty boy ★★½

    A rectangular image with a review of the movie Dune: Part Two (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: I think I'm a bit out of step with the general consensus on this one. It's visually spectacular and I'm glad I saw it on the big screen but it's longer than it needs to be and clearly setting up for a third movie. There was a meme doing the rounds on instagram that is the scene from Life of Brian where he tells his followers he's not the messiah. The meme subtitle was Dune Part Two spoilers without the context and it was spot on. I prefer the first movie over this second part.

    🗳️ Time to do the civic duty and vote in the local council elections and then continue on my afternoon walk.

    We have reached the point in the local council elections where supporters of two of the three major parties are arguing on the community Facebook page about which party first put water bowls for dogs outside the prepoll venue. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Thankfully election day is tomorrow.

    🍹 Sunday afternoons are for going down the rabbit holes of new watches and fountain pens while sipping a G&T. 🖋️⌚️

    🚴 Little ride around the river to blow the cobwebs out.

    I love pens. I like a nice fountain pen but also a rollerball. I have to hold them though and feel the grip and weight, see how they write, before I can buy. This is a problem when I live in Brisbane, which, despite being the state capital, has only one decent pen shop. 🖋️

    🚶 Afternoon walk along the river to balance the 3hrs spent watching Dune 2.

    The truth may be out there but sometimes it's just a truck.
