Last week, I started writing the week notes on Wednesday, this week, it’s Thursday.

This has been the second of two weeks off work and now I’m psyching myself up to go back to work on Monday. It’s been an interesting week, so let’s get into this.

📚 Reading

I didn’t read too much this week, again, no excuse, but here’s what I did read.

📝 Writing

This week, I haven’t done much writing, but I have made a start.

As the end of the week has seen the start of November, it has also seen the start of Writing Month - a little brainchild of my FediFriend, Amin as a replacement for NaNoWriMo, when they spectacularly shat themselves.

I have started yet another novel project and have set myself a goal of 5000 words across the month, which should be manageable.

👀 Watching

▶️ YouTube

This week, I have spent 5 hours 12 minutes (as recorded by ActivityWatch on my phone) watching YouTube videos, including a ton of The WAN Show VODs. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

👂 Listening

🎙️ Podcasts

This week’s podcast listening falls under the YouTube watching section too, I didn’t listen to anything other than watching The WAN Show VODs.

🎮 Gaming

Gaming has been a big thing this week. I played a ton of FlightGear, as always. I also played lots of Stormworks: Build and Rescue. And I played Flashing Lights - with the new light stages update and I purchased the new first responder motorbike DLC for £2.99, which is a decent price for additional vehicles in the game.

I have also played a smidge of BeamNG Drive which is fun to speed around in cool vehicles and watch the amazing crashes.
