A nice tender movie that felt whimsical and fun at the same time.

Movie Log 🍿: The Housemaid, 2025 - ★★½
Went on a little long and dragged out a lot of the points. Some really funny foreshadowing (everyone look at these stairs!) but all told an alright popcorn thriller

Movie Log 🍿: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, 2026 - ★★★★½
Good grief it’s not getting better than this. Immaculately acted, Ralph Fiennes blows the lid off it. Outstanding

Movie Log 🍿: Hamnet, 2025 - ★★★★
An acting master class. Jessie Buckley throws the kitchen sink at it. The kids are brilliant!
I am however convinced people weren’t swimming such drilled front crawl at the turn of the 17th century

Atlanta airport. Watching an NBA game at the bar. Been a long while since I’ve seen this on draught!
Movie Log 🍿: Finding Mrs. Claus, 2012 - ★★
Couldn’t help ourselves and went to one last Cenote. Saw this majestic guy chilling out at the edge. By far the biggest iguana we’ve seen on our travels, certainly the fondest of the camera!

Finished reading: Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky 📚
Wha a great read! I love the way the previous two books in the series have contributed to this wider universe. Hopefully there’s more to the series.
Spent the past few days Cenote-hopping around the Yucatán region. Amazing places and incredibly relaxing!
Now onto even more relaxed pursuits, time for the relaxed beach phase of our trip.
