🎥 Watched: Longlegs (2024)
FBI Agent Lee Harker is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer. As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.
Kinda meh, despite Nicholas Cage being quite creepy as the killer. 2/5
⛳️ Made some minor tweaks to my golf simulator setup and it’s now the launch monitor is working way more accurately…so much so that my handicap well and truly comes into play.
I made a Pork & Holy Basil Stir-fry (Pad Kra Pao) for dinner tonight, quick and simple to make, and super tasty! 😋
⚽️ I’d hate to be a Manchester United supporter right now. Ouch
I’m going to add a Projects page to my website to keep track of all the projects I work on around home. Nice to have something to reflect back on when my brain goes off to that funny place where I feel like I’ve not contributed enough or not completed enough things.
I’m hoping that when the calendar ticks over to January 1st that my health, energy, and emotion bars all refill automatically…that’s how the game of life works now, right?
⚽️ Big game for the Arsenal against Ipswich, a win takes us back to second, and just 6 points behind Liverpool. LFG!
Upside down Zelda. Must be a tough life. 😜
Thinking of building out a small, dare I say micro, website for the social golf club I play in. Tech wise, it needs to hold the season calendar, links to the courses we’re playing, the winners of each grade when we play, links to sponsors, and contact info. micro.blog looks a likely option. 🤔
‘Disgraceful’: Newspaper’s unforgivable front page Gout Gout blunder
“We sincerely apologise to Peter Bol and Gout Gout for the error made during the cropping of a photo featuring both athletes,” the statement read.
Peter Bol is 30, Gout Gout is 16, they do not look like each other. Massive fail by The Sunday Age.

📺 Started Watching: La Palma
A Norwegian family vacationing in La Palma faces chaos when a researcher discovers imminent volcanic eruption signs that could trigger a massive tsunami.

⛳️ Played Merewether Golf Course this morning with a couple of mates. Didn’t hit them super well, but still shot better than my handicap, managed a couple of pars, as well as a birdie on one of the Par 3’s.
⚽️ Don’t mind waking up and seeing that Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham, all lost their games in the English Premier League overnight. Better if Chelsea and Liverpool were also on that list, but beggars can’t be choosers.
⚽️ Strong win by The Arsenal over Crystal Palace overnight. Hopefully it’s the starting point for the club to go on a run and get themselves back into title contention.
