I've just finished reading the ' Alphabet squadron ', and, I'll be honest, I didn't really enjoy it.

I know many will not share the same opinion, but I'm just being honest.

I didn't like the slow pacing and writing style. I know it's supposed to be that way to allow the characters to share their stories and breathe, but it just wasn't for me.

I have the trilogy, but I'm quite reluctant to start the second novel.

Sorry to all the fans of this one.

*Ran in Merrell Morphlites.

Twelve (!) years ago, today, we lost this great man.

A true comedic and acting powerhouse of energy.

2pm commute. Trail run home.

Very dry and 28° . 😅

The shire is very dry, but still stunning.

2pm commute. 5km trail run home.

28° and very dry.

5am, 5Km Commute (run) into work, this morning. UK

(I know it's not technically a trail, but the usual path is currently overgrown)

I've just watched this movie ( yes, at 5am, blame my circadian rhythm).

It had mixed reviews, but IMO, I thought it was good.

It covers, love, loss, abandonment, post natal depression and mental health. A heavy mix, and Jennifer Lawrence does an amazing job portraying all of these emotions.

Shire lore.

A quick pitstop, at Cedrics, this afternoon.

Homemade pastry and flapjack. A real taste of Somerset 😋

Just purchased this. I've heard good things.

I tried to read Thrawn - Heir to the empire, but couldn't get into it, or get invested in it. I have up two hundred pages in. (I hate to give up on a book, but I just wasn't engaging with it)

An evening with Jack bessant (from the band Reef).

Music and stories, at The bridge bakery Langport.

A great, low key evening, in the shire.

Just had a rewatch of this.

A nice observation of the beauty and solace in the simple things in life.

One can find peace if one slows down and takes a moment.

I'm a fan of the movie, yet many of my friends are not even aware of it.

Happy birthday to, the living legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Born this day 1947.

A true icon.

A nineteen year old Arnold, walking the streets of Munich, in 1967.

Practicing the terminator arrival scene before it was even written.

THAT'S how good Arnold is. Legend.

Currently on holiday (vacation) so I was able to get a Monday morning run in.

A great start to the week.
