a man says fauxlivia ruined u2 for all of us in a movie scene Alt: Fringe GIF. Walter Bishop says "fauxlivia ruined u2 for all of us"

Almost done with the rewatch of Fringe.

There's to my knowledge never been such a wonderfully crafted complex character like Walter Bishop and John Noble's portrayal of him is absolutely flawless.

What an actor. Pure awe and a shame it's almost over again.

Selfie of me in running gear. I look rather unsure about everything and have my hand up signaling 'meh', I think. The Mountains are in the background.

Still not sure which is better: great runs when you feel great, or meh runs when you feel meh, almost didn't go, but still went. What's the verdict on that #RunningPunks? Perhaps both, but this meh run did feel like a victory and a sign of commitment of some form!

Yesterday's afternoon run was lovely and just so full of energy, didn't expect that when we set off, but I was having it, and ran more up that dreaded hill than ever before! It's good to be back to rhythm πŸ’š

Today we had a get together with our neighbours and it really was lovely to meet everyone. We practiced our Portuguese a lot, shared our homebrewed beers, tasted their homemade wine and hootch, laughed a lot and made plans to work together in the future.. sometimes social stuff isn't too terrible!.

New Yorker cartoon, shows a couple of young people sitting across each other in a diner. One bangs their fist on the table, saying: 
"I'm so disgusted with people who aren't speaking up right now! But they better have flawlessly curated statements when they do-unless they're ignorant on the issue, in which case they better educate themselves but also they're too late."

Yeah, sometimes, when I just really want one nice drink after work I'll do it, sit on the balcony and really enjoy that one can/bottle. It's not THAT strict, but I also don't want to go back to the Covid times temptations where we sponsored A LOT OF BREWERIES ordering stuff...!

I'm still sat behind my desk preparing to send emails that people with a) not read, b) not act upon, c) be angry about.

Also keeping to (or trying) the Fri/Sat/Sun only for alcohol. So far so good the last few weeks.
