📺 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.

🍺 Pub lunch incoming. Relaxing Saturday done right.

📺 Finished watching A Gentleman in Moscow (2024) ★★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series A Gentleman in Moscow (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 Good selected. The review reads: I really enjoyed this show. It had a nice flow to the story as it moved through the years and didn't feel like it was jumping ahead just for the sake of it. Ewan McGregor played the fallen aristocrat very well, you could see him adapting to his changed circumstances as time went by. The sort of show you could binge but just as easily watch at leisure over a few weeks as each episode is complete. Not quite stand alone but not leaving things hanging as a build up to the next episode.

The large park near me has very popular and busy markets every Saturday morning with stalls set up around the ring road. I often see a guy with a metal detector sweeping the ground late on a Saturday afternoon after everyone has packed up. I wonder how much stuff he still finds.

An important reminder.

A rectangular enamel badge pinned on a cream jacket. The badge has a black background and gold lettering that says “Don’t go being a twat now”

📺 Finished watching Star Trek: Discovery (Season 5, 2024) ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series Star Trek: Discovery (Season 5). 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: A life long Star Trek fan, I’d been struggling to stay with this show in the previous two seasons. It’s definitely one which has had fans very clearly in the love or hate camps. Maybe knowing it was the final season meant the writers aimed higher and wanted to give a sense of completion but this season was an improvement on the previous two and I came to enjoy it again. All things considered, not as good as the first two seasons but a satisfactory conclusion.

Do you really love cats if you don’t have a cat pin? 🐱🐈

A measured approach.

A round enamel badge pinned to a cream jacket. A black ring around the outside with “Do no harm but take no shit” in white letters. Inside the ring is a blue background with a red rose on it.
