2 Watched: Star Wars: The Acolyte 

I loved this Star Wars offshoot on Disney +. It pulls together many seminal themes from Star Wars. Looking forward to Season 2.

3 Reading: Anne Tyler's breathing lessons

4 Watching: Alone - Season 10

We saw a promo for season 12 and then realised we hadn't yet seen season 10 or 11 (TV One on demand). The show gets great when it's a few weeks down and there are only 5 people left.

5 Listening: Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn

I've reached the Pink Floyd collection in my preparations for Goo Goo G'Joob posts. What a remarkable album Piper at the Gates of Dawn is. It still sounds like it was beamed down from a distant planet (which I guess Syd was orbiting at the time).

Only time for one track? Try their first song on their first album - Astronomy Domine.

Overtime: 

“The mind is everything in survival. If you don’t have the will to survive, no skill in the world will save you.”
