Life
A bit late with the update. On holiday from work (back tomorrow) and busy fixing the house, taking photo’s and flying a drone. Normal stuff really. Links this week are pretty Apple heavy – fun fun fun!
Media
Solo – average film and would have probably ditched it half way through if it wasn’t a Star Wars movie.
Bodyguard – well done all involved. Stuck the landing and plenty left to take another series forward.
