    I have six weeks of work left until I have six weeks of leave. I can’t begin to describe how much I’m looking forward to this given my last large block of leave was Aug-Sept 2022.

    Niece borrowed some money to help buy a car earlier this year. She’s discovering the bank of uncle peter is not as flexible with repayments as the bank of dad. Deferring the regular payment results in a lecture when it doesn’t resume as agreed. I call it character building, not sure if she agrees.

    📺 Finished watching Loki (Season 2, 2023) ★★★½

    A rectangular image with a review of the television series Loki (Season 2). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: I thoroughly enjoyed both seasons of Loki but would put season one slightly ahead of this second season. The camaraderie between Loki and Mobius seemed better in the first season, with it seeming a little more serious or earnest this time round. Having said that, I think the story arc this season was better than the first. Tom Hiddleston plays Loki as he always has, sarcasm to the fore but in a good way. The different seasons were in different phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but stand-alone enough it didn’t matter.

    🍕 Making pizza for dinner, mainly so I can warm the apartment up with the oven.

    We’re having “the office might be warmer, maybe I should go in instead of WFH” temperatures at the moment.

    Someone in the comms team at my superannuation fund is probably swearing profusely right now. A generic email has gone out and it has the member number instead of the name (Dear 12345678).

    After their recent outage due to Google cloud issues you’d think they’d be extra careful about this stuff.

    🍷 Trivia time with team “Furiosa: A Mad Peter Saga”

    📺 Finished watching The Great (Season 3, 2023) ★★★½

    A rectangular image with a review of the television series The Great (Season 3). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: I don’t know why it took me so long to get around to watching this final season but I’m glad I eventually did. Set against a very loose interpretation of history the characters are wonderfully absurd and a few who survived the earlier seasons meet their end, in appropriately absurd ways. Some excellent use of music throughout the season adds to the enjoyment.

    😾 About to upset the cat by waking her up from her afternoon sleep and quickly putting her in the cat carrier to go to the vet for a dental check.

    There was dinner. There was much wine. There is now terrible yet hilarious karaoke. Saturday continues to be done right.
