Sorcerers, gladiators, spooks

Book 8 done, Book 9 begun. "Sign Of Chaos" built to a corker of a cliffhanger. Compensated for the nonsense opening set in Lewis Carroll Land. I dislike extended scenes of drug trips, fever dreams or mind control in fiction. Lazy writing that generally makes for tedious reading.

In other news... Congratulations to Australia's Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski on regaining his UFC Featherweight Title at UFC 314 in Miami today! 36 years young - and dangerous!

Oh, and how twistingly, suspensefully good was S4 of "Slow Horses" [Apple TV]??? Finally got around to it and had to stop myself bingeing the whole season in a night. Made it last two, haha.
