😷 Finally getting over a nasty bout of flu, so spent the week mostly watching trashy Netflix true crime docs.

🚀 Went to Manchester to see The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks, an immersive 360° show about the Apollo (and upcoming Artemis) missions (1-min teaser video). Loved it!

🍿 It's the start/end of the year, so here's my annual round-up of all the films and TV shows I've watched in 2025.

🎆 Quiet night in for New Year's Eve; watching movies, Jools Holland's Hootenanny, and the London fireworks on the telly. Ordered in pizza 🍕

🥩 Steak and chips with a blue cheese sauce for birthday dinner 🤤

🎂 Even had cake (Booths' Apple & Blackcurrant Crumble cake, so good) with candles. Feel very loved 🥰

🎯 Completed the archery course with a competition (shooting balloons). Finished 2nd. Paid my subs for the year and now a member of the club! 🥳

💼 Final appraisal at work. No notes. Can work from home before Xmas!

🎯 We had a competition at archery this week. 6 ends, scoring for the first time. I definitely do better under pressure! 2nd out of 11 people 🥳

🎰 Went to bingo for the first time in my life (work outing). It was really good fun! Cheap prices at the bar too. Didn't win anything but some people were winning thousands. I'll go again! 😂 👨‍🦳

🃏 Poker league final on Saturday. 8 players, I went in with a four-point lead. I needed to finish 5th to clinch it. Ended up winning the whole damn thing (4th win of the season) after a dramatic heads-up with Harry 🥳 🏆️

🎯 Archery lesson 4/6 ✅ Got to see a longbow and a flatbow in action; very cool. Not impressed with my aim this time though! 😫 Katey was brilliant! 😍

😋 Went out for lunch with my team on Friday to Abingdon Street Market and demolished a filthy bacon and cheese smash burger 🍔

🧁 Had a mooch about St. Anne's on Sunday morning; went to an excellent patisserie for cakes and macarons
