Week Notes - 2026-42

A quieter week than most, but a good one regardless. The highlight was the theatre on Saturday to see Matthew Bourne's The Car Man. It was a busy week for reading too as I finished two books and started a third. The weirdest thing that happened this week was watching a car pull out from a side road and completely miss the fact there was a small traffic island in the middle of the road. I watched them cut the corner (to beat the traffic, obviously), drive straight into the traffic island, and bounce clean over it. Crazy. I think they were quite lucky to seemingly not cause any damage! Reading This week I finished Rogue Protocol, and another Boss Fight Books book this time about Animal Crossing. The Murderbot novella was excellent and just the right length for me this week. Learning about the history of Animal Crossing was great too. I was aware that the localisation process was difficult, but it was fascinating to learn about the original plan for what eventually become Animal Crossing…
