That’s the holidays over and everything is getting back to normal. Well, almost!
Managed to make it to the movies on Tuesday to see Jumanji and then a visit to the driving range with the boys on Wednesday rounded off their holidays before they went back to school on Thursday.
Also watched Bright on Netflix this week. Not a bad movie and I didn’t think it deserved the criticism it got. Me and Jennifer have also started watching Godless on Netflix as well. Really enjoying it so far.
I’ve managed to set Star Wars Battlefront 2 (it’s growing on me) and Overwatch to the side and installed Assasin’s Creed Origins. So far I’m impressed. I haven’t played the series since Black Flag, so the absence of playing any of the recent AC games might be the reason I’m enjoying it so much.
I’m reading Persepolis Rising, the seventh book in the Expanse series. This book picks up sometime after the events of Babylon’s Ashes. I’m still enjoying this series and it’s been great getting to know what the crew of the Rocinante have been up to.
