https://livinitaly.com/true-italian-adventures/magazine/where-to-stay-in-sicily/ I'm sitting in Taormina right now. Never been to Italy before. Flew into Naples, stayed 2 nights to see Pompeii, Naples itself was rough. I could have done more research on where to stay. I just wanted to be near...

I much preferred Passenger on ITV to be fair and if they do a second season of that I'll be well on it. In a not dissimilar vein, The Resort had a good spooky mystery vibe and it was tight 30m episodes albeit 10 of them.

Working through The Gone now on BBC. Fine if not particularly enthralling police procedural about two cops from two different countries (Ireland and NZ) trying to solve a double missing person case (two Irish tourists, a couple, vanish into to thin air one night). A lot of predictable beats so...

Passenger on ITV. Phoenix Nights meets The Wicker Man. Strange goings on in a small northern village, punctuated with the minutiae of village life. I was pleasantly surprised at how moreish this was. I fell asleep during episode 4 cos I stayed up way past bedtime desperate to know what...

Networking, you could easily get a Network+ and CCNA quickly enough if you were motivated. Otherwise you could become a financial advisor? There are two 1 year courses you can choose from. Although this one is preferable among the industry apparently...

Just bought an new Aeron for £700 for the Mrs. On eBay. Came with tags and looks perfect. Obviously as mentioned technically no warranty if things go south but seems a great chair. I have a Steelcase Leap V1 refurb bought about 2016. Still going strong. Had to do a canister replacement a year or...

I'm feeling a lot better now, except for the occasional coughing fit. Was nice to get outside the house yesterday for the first time. Last time was Saturday morning! It has however impacted the other half. This time my mother and sister advised me to take a mix of berocca and something else...

Just got my second dose, after getting hit for the first time June 23. First dose was hell on earth. Throat like sandpaper, couldn't sleep for days, loss of appetite, smell and taste. Sinus headache. Only got relief when got some co-codomol to help me sleep and a throat numbing spray. I know...

Had a friend with terminal cancer and the DWP still called him in for a work capability assessment, about 4 months before we buried him. He was terrified they were going to cut his money off. It's cruel what they do to the weakest in society.

Through no skill whatsoever managed to bag 1.89% about 3 months before it all started moving upwards so 2027 is when I come off it. Hoping that it's a gentler landing by then.

Just finished ep 3. Keeps on keeping on. Excited to see ep 4 tomorrow, would have watched tonight but the better half was too tired. On a side note. If you are enjoying this and you haven't watched Counterpart, with the excellent JK Simmons amongst others, check it out. 2 seasons, similar...

Party hard or hardy part?

Just finished 1974's The Gambler, with James Caan as our titular hero. Heard it mentioned in a podcast about the movie Rounders, which I also rewatched this afternoon. Went in blind and it was great. Lovely grimy New York, and lovely to see Paul Sorvino, and Burt Young in roles that they had...

As in the Epson 6700 I have? How come? EDIT, have now read why.

Thought's on Oasthouse S3? Double necro! I liked it but it wasn't as good as one or two IMO. Also listened to Big Beacon, which was very good

Started Life & Beth. Easy going dramady with Amy Schumer and Michael Cera. Michael Rappaport makes a supporting appearance as the deadbeat dad.
