I’m not at work today and have been slowly watching the Teams notification badge count climb up during the morning. It’s midday and up to 22, despite me having an out of office message on.

Today's tidbit of information was discovering how often the film title is mentioned in James Bond movies and the number of times Mr Bond is said in each movie.

🍿 Ate some popcorn and watched The Marvels (2023) β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½

A green rectangle with the poster for The Marvels movie on the left third and the review on the remaining two thirds. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: At less than two hours this was a great pick for a Saturday night movie. There's enough explanation that you don't need to have seen the first movie, Ms Marvel or Wandavision, in terms of backstory for the three lead characters. The pace is good, the humour and chemistry between the leads is great and adds to the overall fun vibe of the movie.Not having to keep track of eight characters and 15 different storylines, eight of which are continuing from previous movies or tv shows, made for a refreshing change to some other marvel movies.
I have quite a few Lamy pens already but the Violet Blackberry 2024 special edition is going to be added to the collection. I love the multi coloured look. πŸ–‹οΈ

No idea what the cat has been chasing for 30 minutes. Started with a climb up the screen door (continually thankful it’s pet mesh), then climbing over the chair and staring at the roller blind followed by getting behind the blind. Now she’s sitting staring at the corner. At ghosts presumably. 🐱

No power for two hours for half the suburb as a local transformer blew. Of course there’s that one person in the local fbook group going on about how it will only get worse as the use of renewables increases. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Do these clowns even engage their brain before putting fingers to the keyboard.

Excited to be trialling Scribbles. I have a couple of thoughts on how I'll use the site and need to settle on just one!

Getting ready to set up my Scribbles site and stuck on do I hang it off an existing domain, buy a new domain or repurpose the domain that points at my tumblr site. I never use tumblr anymore so that makes the most sense …. but my (bad) habit of buying new domains for niche purposes is calling me.

The news site for the Archaeological Institute of America is one of my favourite rss feeds. In case you were wondering, yak domestication occurred at least 2,500 years ago.

The micro blog iPhone app hasn’t been loading my posts lately, I just get a blank screen. @help is this a known issue?
