My new 65-inch Sony Bravia TV comes today. Best Buy installing it on the wall. Merry Christmas to me and to my kiddo!
First movie will probably be SW Rogue One.

That scene kicks so much ass. I always have to watch it like five times after seeing it.

Fishes gonna be noticing the hell out of me tomorrow. Hired a boat for the day in the Lakes District in SE Victoria. Got a few cheap telescopic rods from KMart, got my tackle, got some soft plastics. Gonna be rolling in the big dog flatties tomorrow for sure.
Or I'll just get drunk while putting about on the water, whatever works best.
