Enola Holmes 2 (2022)

Now a detective-for-hire, Enola Holmes takes on her first official case to find a missing girl as the sparks of a dangerous conspiracy ignite a mystery that requires the help of friends - and Sherlock himself - to unravel.

In the evening, at first, Alice, Esme, and I started to watch People We Meet on Vacation. But soon Esme and I were both convinced we had already seen it. I checked Plurrrr, but no mention of this movie. Had I forgotten to blog about it? I don't know.

Anyway, we decided to switch to a different movie: Enola Holmes 2, which I liked more than the first one and rate it an 8 out of 10.

Small Fixes

In the afternoon, I finished a series of small fixes to tumblelog that I started yesterday. The changelog for version 6.6.0 is as follows:

  • Use current_year_week in create_week_page call
  • Use escape on the href attribute in wrap_in_permalink
  • Don't ignore an empty id (tumblelog.py)
  • Make synopsis/usage show all options
  • Escape URL and tag in html_for_tag
  • Use isoformat instead of str with replace (tumblelog.py)
  • Don't accept unknown options nor abbreviated options (tumblelog.pl)
  • Use our $VERSION (tumblelog.pl)
  • Simplify clumsy code (tumblelog.pl)
  • Remove obvious comment (tumblelog.pl)
  • Fix bug in create_archive (tumblelog.pl)
  • Make get_end_of_day conform the Time::Piece documentation (tumblelog.pl)

As usual the latest version is available on GitHub.

Children of Strife: A Disappointment

In the evening I finally finished Children of Strife, Children of Time novels book 4 by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It took me quite some time to finish this book because it was, in my opinion, not good; a disappointment. I loved Children of Time; excellent. I liked Children of Ruin, and Children of Memory was confusing at times (to me) but I liked it. While I tried to like Children of Strife it's just not for me.

Skinamarink (2022)

Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished.

In the evening Jaiden, Esme, and I watched Skinamarink. Jaiden had asked for this movie and considered it scary but too long. To me the movie was way too long and I don't even know how to rate it, so I won't.

72 Hours (2026)

A 40-year-old executive ends up at a three-day bachelor party with twenty-somethings after being mistakenly included in their chat group.

In the evening Alice, Esme, and I watched 72 Hours. The movie was OK, I had one good laugh, so I rate it a 7 out of 10.

The Beach Club Cat

In the afternoon we went to Scheveningen to watch the eclipse. After walking for some time we found a place to sit at "Beach Club Twins". While waiting for our food we spotted a nice cat. It went to the table next to us. After we had eaten, it came to our table. It found a small piece of fish Esme had accidentally dropped and ate it. I called the cat and could take a photo of it underneath our table.

Later, a waiter picked up the cat and moved it to a high chair out of the way. Jaiden and I walked to it and took some photos of it grooming itself.
