This is the inaugural post in a new series we’re launching entitled, ‘Our week that was’. It’s where we’ll share a few highlights of our previous week; be it somewhere we went, something we watched, something we did etc.
Television
We’ve just finished binge watching all three series of Australian tv programme, Mr Inbetween. We thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t recommend it highly enough. Without giving too much away – it follows the day-to-day life of protagonist, Ray Shoesmith, a contract killer.
App
The Merlin Bird ID app is my new addiction! It all started when I heard an unusual-sounding bird while out walking the dog. I recorded its call and shared it on Instagram, but no one could identify it. I downloaded Merlin to help solve the mystery.
I’m amazed at the way the app can analyse a sound recording of a chorus of song and pick out all the individual birds from it.
A week or so after hearing the mystery bird, I saw a post from a near neighbour about a hoopoe visiting their garden – it made the main Welsh news website!
Event
Justin went to The International Antique Home & Vintage Fair of Wales at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Showground in Builth Wells. It happens twice per year, and we always make sure to attend to buy stock for our shop. The fair is huge, with sellers both inside and outdoors.
