My partner and I have spent the last few days making our apartment 'smarter'. His brother bought him a Google Home mini for his birthday. So now we have smart bulbs. Which just seem absolutely ridiculous to me. I can now ask my phone to flip a switch for me, instead of walking two meters to turn off a lamp.

I've been taking a short hiatus from A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. I was warned before I started that it was going to be heavy (literally and metaphorically), but I decided to take it with me on my last holiday anyway. Don't know what I was thinking. It's incredibly well written. Yanagihara is an amazing author. I think I'm almost ready to pick it up again and finish.
