    ☕ Coffee required. Sitting on a selection panel for most of today. Writes off the whole day as the brain won’t be up for actual work by the time we finish at 4pm.

    🎵 I appear to have gone down a John Denver music video rabbit hole on YouTube. He recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he wrote himself according to Wikipedia.

    Gorgeous colour at sunset tonight. Love the way it was reflected in the river. I wasn’t the only one stopping to take a photo.

    A length of green grass and a cement path in the foreground. A river curving from left to right. On the other side of the river the silhouettes of apartment buildings are visible. Above those is a cloudy sky lit up in a vibrant orange by the setting sun.

    📺 Finished watching 3 Body Problem (2024) ★★½

    A rectangular image with a review of the television series 3 Body Problem (Season 1). 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 Okay selected. The review reads: Complex and not for everyone. Some of the underlying plot lines needed better exposition but watchable. Perhaps having read the book I had higher hopes for this and was left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the end.

    When I’m out walking I occasionally see a lady walking her dog and pushing a stroller. She has her two cats in the stroller and told me one day she didn’t think it was fair the dog was able to go outside and not the cats. It makes me smile whenever I see them all.

    ☕ Back to work after a nice 11 day break. First the coffee, then the emails.

    Relaxing afternoon reading my book on the balcony. Ms Ali and her toy mouse are keeping an eye on the birds flitting around. 🐱

    I’ve been looking for an inexpensive field watch I could wear on weekends. Quartz movement rather than mechanical so I could just put it on and go. I came across the Berny brand and liked the look of a white dial/cream band combo so ordered one. Arrived today, Good Friday, so kudos to the courier.

    Some people treat themselves to Easter eggs and hot cross buns for Easter.

    I treat myself to a new Pilot MR3 Retro Pop fountain pen with a Fine nib and a new Easter (flat cap) bonnet. 🖋️

    Two photos of violet purple fountain pen laying on a white notepad. Top photo has the cap off showing the nib and the bottom the cap is on. There is a silver band around the middle of the pen with purple wavy lines.A green flat cap laying on the white cotton bag it came in.
