Life
Looking forward to a quieter week off from work. Kicked off early yesterday with a trip up to Glencoe. Didn’t quite get the weather but still a stunning bit of the country to visit as long as you avoid the tourist spots which were mobbed.
Media
Homeland is on point this series…building nicely.
Annihilation was a great watch on Netflix, shame it didn’t make a cinema release in the UK.
