I have never played a musical instrument. Did sing in a choir for a lil bit.

Can you recommend any good podcasts? Always looking to add to my roster.

The usual, Last of Us and White Lotus and Black Mirror. Then I started watching Station Eleven. I really like dystopian series. These aren’t on telly tho, just streaming on the web.

Where do you get your news?

Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard of the Day of the triffids, will check it out at some point. I really like old school sci-fi, and the topics they explore. The Illustrated Man is a really good one.

I saw Mickey 17. It was a fun film, similar in essence to the directors other films.

Not really a Disney kid, I did have Pocahontas picture book even though I hadn’t seen the film. So that.

But how about series, which ones do you recommend? Maybe you know some more obscure ones to fill the time?

I don’t read much, but I’m open to recommendations.

I have to agree with you on the weather, rainy cool days are perfect! Perfect for taking a walk too, the air is fresh, everything smells different, better. And the colours are more vibrant. It is also so quiet, apart form the rain.

Malcom in the middle, it is just so good.

If we are on to the topic of films, which recent films have you seen and what did you like and dislike about them?

Not an easy question at all! My answer would be a book or two. Been eyeing an architecture book, but for this amount could get a heftier one. Maybe about gardening, or construction, or sci-fi, like K.Dick or Bradbury… What kind of weather do like the most (this spring has it all - snow, warm and sunny, rainy, windy, sometimes all in a days work)?

Light pants, like beige, and chunky gold necklace, stay classy

You have to take care of yourself, because noone else will. As in trust yourself, and don’t rely on others to act in your interests. Doesn’t mean act like an asshole, but this is what I have learned so far.

Also came to suggest Warframe, but u beat me to it :D yeah it’s slow to get going… but that’s the cool thing about it. You can drop it when it gets tedious and come back when you feel like it. Imho the long crafting times are good, it means you have to come back in 3 days and have something to look forward to. And instant gratification can get boring, so I really like the pacing.

Added to my list, thanks for the rec.

Nomads and Empires. Quite like Fall of Civilisations, but shorter. On nomadic cultures.

The Ancients. On various topics, but mostly history, archeology, but also classical work of arts like Greek tragedies, etc.

Sidedoor, there is some historical stuff, but mostly on various topics. Smithsonian history museum podcast. Recommed The Lost Woolly Dog episode, such a wholesome episode on now-extinct breed of dog native to the N-American continent.

Lore, of course, it is folk tales and myths inspired by historical events. American folklore.

Dark Histories. This one is like Lore, but Victorian era Britain. It goes through prominent crimes in that era, gives a narrative of the events.

You must remember this. This one is about the history of films, Hollywood and the events behind them. If you’re into films, this is a good one. It goes through films by decades, analyses themes and topics, prominent actors, film makers and directors.

Shedunnit. If you’re into crime and mystery novels. Especially female writers from last century around when the genre was established. Again, a lot of history behind the evolution of the genre.

Creative Codex. This one is a gem. It is about creative geniuses, like fashion designers and musicians and writers and artists. The host examines their creations through various themes, contrasted by the authors biography. Really makes you appreciate the art when you know the context of the artists life behind it. All episodes are good, but Emily Dickinson is a good one and so is Alexander McQueen episodes. This is not history, but as it is art, it might be interesting nontheless.

I have an Altura Thunderstorm backpack. Bought 2 years ago. So far so good, it’s very waterproof, so good for unexpected rain as it keeps laptop dry.

Altura.eu

UK company. But idk abt manufacturing.
