The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

Once a lone bounty hunter, Mandalorian Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu embark on an exciting new Star Wars adventure.

In the evening Alice, Esme, and I watched The Mandalorian and Grogu in a movie theatre in the centre of Rotterdam. I liked the movie and rate it a 7 out of 10.

We did have some problems with our tickets, though. We thought we had bought tickets for 17:30. But when we arrived the ticket scanner reported that the tickets were invalid. A girl working for the movie theatre let us pass. But when we wanted to enter the screening room the movie had already started. Confused I asked for help and then it turned out the tickets were for next week! I was told to go down to the entry and ask if the ticket could be changed. So I went to the same girl that helped us earlier and she changed the tickets for ones for 19:30. So we had to wait nearly 2 hours. Because I was tired I wanted to stay inside and just wait.

Orange Bitey Thing Out and About

When testing a flashlight I had bought earlier today; indirect light into the enclosures of the tarantulas I keep, I noticed that the Pterinochilus murinus, also known as Orange Bitey Thing, was out and about. So I moved carefully the enclosure to the livingroom table, opened it, and took some photos.

This is the first time I see this tarantula entirely out of its hiding spot since the rehousing I did nearly two weeks ago.

Revenge Prey

Leonard Summers—not his real name—is on the run. A former high-ranking Russian intelligence officer who defected to the U.S. after providing critical information about Russian spies in U.S. government service, Leonard, his wife Martha, and son Bernard have spent the past year holed up in a CIA facility near Washington. After the CIA makes a deal with the U.S. Marshal Service’s Witness Protection Program (WPP), Leonard’s family is transported to Minneapolis. The plan is to hide them in a wooded Minneapolis suburb that resembles their former home and dacha near Moscow.

The Summers are received at their destination by Lucas Davenport and fellow marshal Shelly White. Unbeknownst to them, the WPP group has been tracked by a Russian hit team. And while nobody in the WPP has ever been attacked…Leonard might be the first victim. As shots are fired and enemies dodged, Lucas must move quickly to uncover where the leak is coming from, before the hit team can strike again.

In the evening I started in Revenge Prey, a Prey novel book 36 by John Sandford.
