One Thirty One

 Crazy money spent, crazy holiday/honeymoon booked.

Canada, New Zealand and Fiji. Going to be good… I hope. It would want to be at that price.

Money woes, thankfully a gift from the future in-laws but that doesn’t alleviate my stress as much as I would like….

One Thirty

 Train strike made getting to the theatre an expensive pain but Rewind at New Diorama was really good. Glad we made the effort. A very very strong four stars I reckon.

Otherwise. Things go on. I found a mistake where 0 does not equal 0 and it has pissed me off so much….

One Twenty Eight

 Quiet Sunday aside from Residents Association which seems to have gone well, gone out to vote and hopefully all will be good.

Otherwise, not a day to plan but I watched some movies and so that was good.

Dave’s review published on Letterboxd:

Cailee Spaeny is pretty great, hard to really get past
the toxic origins and the absolute power imbalance from start to finish.
Priscilla as a prisoner with no autonomy at all, it doesn’t make for a
very enjoyable movie – is it meant to be though?

Dave’s review published on Letterboxd:

Not so much a mystery or a trial but a microscope on a
relationship with all of it’s warts, nothing gets to stay hidden or in
those moments in an argument, meaning nothing more than that moment.

Not what I expected.

 

One Twenty Seven

 Really good afternoon catching up with Andy and then playing Terraforming Mars on the board for the first time. We messed up a rule or two but it was SO much fun. Very keen to do it again.

Good pizza too, Charlottes – place by the railway arch where I had eaten before a while ago. Proper 5 cheese pizza.

Then down to the NT for Kin. Physical theatre, movement “Visually stunning, the lighting in particular being an absolute
knockout but the shifting and repeating narratives are at times hard to
follow but even more, hard to connect with the story. Left me feeling
out of sync but the place leapt to it’s feet at the end so… yeah”

One Twenty Six

 Day off.

Three movies.

Some downtime.

Same same but different.

Less stress, less stress, less stress.

Finally got some shipments from Master Replicas so that is looking up a bit. I just need to decide on actual shelving!

Really good flat progress yesterday, am optimistic about some of it now. Fingers crossed that we’ll see how it goes over next few days.

One Twenty Five

 Bit of a day. Into town for Time Traveller’s Wife, again two beers. Need to re-engage willpower on that I think. Show was better than expected but I think low expectations really helped there.

Not the best night for herself and frustration all around tho for different reasons, not exactly all on the same page.

Hammer begins to fall.
