I don’t really enjoy award shows but I watched some of the Golden Globes tonight purely for Ricky Gervais; he has always been a great antidote to the pretentiousness.
Today in Central Park, we stumbled upon the setting for the final scene in John Wick 2.
This place in New York City, Capizzi, makes one of the best pizzas that I’ve ever eaten.

At Macca’s in Sydney Airport, hamburgers and fries come from a Futurama-esque dreamworld in the sky. 🍔🍟⛅️
Happy New Year / Frohes Neues to everyone I’ve met here on Micro.blog! Thanks very much for making my online experience enjoyable again. The year 2019 was a great one and I have high hopes for 2020. 😁
New Year’s Eve game night! @NTKF, her sister and I have had a great evening of egg-and-spoon races, bowling with empty cordial bottles and timed sketching completions. Our illustrations here leave much to be desired.
Django attempts to camouflage with a cushion.
The years fly by but rarely do we stop to appreciate how things have changed. In this final episode of the Lounge Ruminator podcast for 2019, The ‘Post-PC’ Decade, I discuss my own use of devices since the launch of the iPad in 2010 and new features in the more recent iPadOS.
I visit my Baba every weekend; she hails from North Macedonia and this is her Turkish coffee set-up. The silver thing is her portable Greek coffee stove, along with a few of her favourite cups that show the faces of Macedonian revolutionaries. Classic stuff ☕️
My mother is a master of cheese boards.
It’s a few years old now but I finally sat down to watch Anomalisa. What a genuine, funny and heartwarming film—I loved it.
This is Pickles, our resident guinea pig (statue) that we haven’t mentioned before. It sits on top of our bookshelves and while most visitors seem to think it’s cute, @NTKF’s sister is terrified of it and insists that it’s creepy. 😂
Today @NTKF and I had a wonderful time with my mum and sister, during what will likely be our one time swimming this summer holiday before visiting the US in January. These photos show Port Kembla Beach from the local Olympic pool. ❤️☀️🌊
A walk along Wollongong’s Blue Mile is a perfect way to end Boxing Day.
In the seventh episode of the Lounge Ruminator podcast, Look Yonder!, I discuss the value of being truly present and attentive at live performances, along with how different kinds of product (smart or otherwise) can either inhibit or encourage this positive behaviour. 🎙
It’s not my favourite thing to do but we’re taking advantage of the Boxing Day sales for useful stuff before our trip to GLORIOUS NATION OF U, S AND A. @NTKF cleverly placated me with a double-shot flat white and apple and cinnamon burek before we started.
Django, my brother’s-in-law Christmas pooch
Well, that’s a bit confusing…
When Christmas presents must be protected from family members’ dogs… (apparently they still got around it!).
