What have I been upto?
Work has gotten a bit quieter since the last time I wrote. Managed to get back on top of the mountain and one of the builds had gone live, which was nice. I’ve got a few things to chase up, and sort, but with just over 24 hours before I go on holiday (more on that later), I think that I leave with things in a relatively good place.
Cricket has continued, and it’s more of the same. As part of the big bash tournament I scored a duck, but for the midweek game I managed to scrape to two. However the bowling is becoming my strong point again. I was not the most economical in the figures – in fact yesterday I was the worst – but looking again at the figures – short of a misfield I’d have been under 10 an over (which is very good at our level). Maybe I should spend a bit more time focusing on my bowling, as my batting has been terrible.
I also spent a lovely couple of hours at Rivington Brewery, which was beautiful. Highly recommend it for a few pints in a gorgeous location.
What I have been enjoying?
I saw The Odyssey a couple of days ago and – it’s okay? It took a while to get going but the cinematography is beautiful. It was long and it was by no means a bad film (it ticks along quite nicely), but a lot of people rated it the best film ever and I felt like I wasn’t watching the same thing as them.
With the exception of one scene (which was a bit disturbing), the rest I did kind of enjoy. Not as good as Project Hail Mary, mind.
What is upcoming?
I’m off on holiday! I’m off to Scotland for a wedding, and the wedding is on a Wednesday, so we’re heading up for a week of travelling around the highlands. I really enjoyed my Scottish visit last year, so this is another trip to revisit the beautiful country again. Really looking forward to it.
Yay Scotland! Yay the highlands!
We are heading up north next week to the Aviemore area, and had a wonderful holiday at Gairloch in May.
Hope the midges avoid you! (hahaha they won’t).
