It’s been years since I saw one in the wild but whilst my friend and I were out, we dropped by a second-hand shop and I found an AirPort Time Capsule. 🤣 📷

Friend of mine came into down and we ended up getting ramen for lunch. 😋 🍜 📷

A bowl of ramen with toppings and a red spoon, set on a wooden table beside a side dish of gyoza and disposable cups; the watermark reads 'lostinhaste.com'.

We weren’t planning on watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony tonight but the Boo pulled out the rabbit ears from the basement; it was an amazing show but now I miss Paris. 🇫🇷 📷

Went down to the ‘Rents lake house to celebrate my Father’s birthday, and of course, enjoyed some good wine. 🍷

A glass of red wine sits on a wooden surface, with blurred green trees and a lake in the background.

My little brother took us out on the boat after the barbecue.

Gentle waters extend towards a tree-lined shore under a cloudy sky.

It really is beautiful down there, especially when most of the folks aren’t on the lake. 🤣 📷

Clouds scatter across the sky over a serene lake surrounded by trees.

Some friends recently redid their backyard and deck…and invited us over to see it mostly complete, as well as enjoy a glass of wine and treats.

A dog reclines on an outdoor pet bed next to a plush toy, on a deck with stone-built structures and fencing, at dusk.

The sunset was lovely…the very excitable pup was slightly medicated. 🌅 🐕 📷

Finished reading: Hell Difficulty Tutorial by Cerim 📚
★★★☆☆

An interesting book, with a rather weird start to it all. The character development is a little lacking (I really want to know more of the backstory of the main character) but the magic / skill system is interesting.

A drawn figure walks forward with a glowing sword, set against contrasting scenes of a bright, tranquil landscape and a dark, fiery abyss. Text reads 'CERIM HELL DIFFICULTY TUTORIAL BOOK ONE'.

The Crowdstrike issue is striking everywhere, two people on my Team can’t use their computers today…and I’m one of them. 😭😤

I was in a bit of a “mood” yesterday, just not in a happy place. I finally went for a three-ish mile walk late last night came to the conclusion, for my own mental health, I need to take a tiny break from the news (not tech of course) for a while. 😔
