Another busy week has come and gone. Last night I got into the Apple TV series called ‘Severance’ – did a bit of a binge last night and watched the whole of the first season. It is one of those shows you really need to have your full attention when watching it because otherwise you’ll…

Well, I was going to head into Wellington today (Wednesday) to get the keyboard on my MacBook Pro replaced (as part of the whole programme Apple has running) but given the craziness I saw online in Wellington I decided to wait it out until things get back to normal – a person riding in on…
