A simple “status” update page, which I’ve seen in a few places that I quite liked the idea of, so I’m doing it here. You can read more about it here at nownownow.com.

Life
Life at the moment is split between work (been largely working with one client for the majority of the year which keeps me busy), the cricket season and on a bit of a health kick following a 40+ checkup with a few higher numbers than I’d like.
I’ve been trying to lose weight and set a challenge with a friend (as in “friend 🥰”) to lose 15kg. I’m doing this by cricket, the NHS Couch to 5K app, eating better and knocking booze on the head (20 days sober). We’ve treats set for 5kg, 10kg, and 15kg losing. 15kg off would still make me medically obese according to BMI, but we’ll see what we do.
Also I’ve made the conscious decision to step away a bit from Twitter as it’s incredibly toxic. Enjoying Mastodon and Threads a lot more. The latter has been mainly
Entertainment
Been playing “Thank Goodness You’re Here!”, which is a Northern simulator. Very good fun and had me giggling a fair bit. I also have been playing Mappy for the Nintendo Entertainment System as we’re having a high score challenge on the Retro Asylum discord on it.
Watching wise I recently binged X-Men 97 on Disney+ as I got a free year subscription with my bank account. It’s a perfect TV show for me. 30 minutes long and although the story loses it’s way a few times a few times, it is brainless fun. Enjoyed it.
I also discovered the DOS Games Club podcast. It’s alright.
The last song on my “Rhys’ Favourites” Spotify playlist is “Total Control” by Morgan Wade.
