thingsThisWeek #94
Back at doing next to nothing, as far as work goes. Media consumption back up. Easter vacation is also here, we have tinyMovieStar with us during the day.

π Week (well, late Thursday) started with a kid’s party, complete with cake and beer. For the children and parents, respectively. We had a great time, as most parents are very nice, and our friend from London was in town. tinyMovieStar told us she liked it, but she wishes to have her party at the other garden, as the playground on this one is very small, and has less stuff to play with. She’s worried her guests will not enjoy the party as much. She’s turning four, but has the mind of a 47 year old event planner.

πΏ One of the longer lasting “No!” in tinyMovieStar’s world: the shower. She loves long baths, but a shower was, until now, something she would avoid. Unless there was no other way (hotels and such), she would just refuse them. This week she finally, out of the blue, decided she likes showers.

π³ Weekend at the in-laws, after lunch with my own set of parents. It was not as peaceful as I’d wish. Full house. Noisy. I suppose this upcoming weekend will be even more challenging, as we’re traveling with my parents, as well as my brother’s family.

π· Small assignment for the paper, and the chance to visit a new hotel in town. A nice one. The reason for the visit was a wine tasting with a twist: expensive ones. Some were REALLY expensive, at least for my wallet. Photos as exciting as you might expect, from a small conference room with people sitting down, drinking wine. But that was it, as far as work goes, so I guess I can’t complain.

π§οΈ Weather wise, it was a shitty week.

πΊ Still watching the same as last week: The Gentlemen (finished by now, but watching again with movieStar), Tokyo Vice, and ShΕgun. Added Griselda to the rotation.

πΏ Quiz Lady. I like Awkwafina. Poor Things.

π Back on Orion for a while. Also back on Arc (iOS).

π± Moved cell service provider, again. I was very happy with what I had, but another company offers double the data for the same price. Caveat: I needed to be under-25. Since I’m over twice the limit age, I had to work around that limitation. I had an idea, but thought it was simply too far fetched, I doubted the operator would even fall for it. They did. I mean, I believe they know what’s going on, but just choose to ignore, and keep the money coming in every month. Anyway, impressed with the speed of it all. New SIM in the mail, installed, old number moved to new SIM, and move of that same card to eSIM requested and installed. That took a couple of days, without leaving the house.
