Apple Fitness+

- I picked up a couple limited edition challenge awards on Apple Fitness+. The Global Close Your Rings Day was in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch.
Watching
- Étoile Season 1, Episodes 1–4 ... Okay, I admit to being a big Amy Sherman-Palladino fan. This show isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t quite hit the high notes that Gilmore Girls did, but it’s pretty darn good.
- The Studio Season 1, Episode 2 ... was painful to watch. I hope they bring more funny and less cringe in future episodes.
- Severance Season 1, Episodes 4–6 ... This show just gets weirder and weirder.
- Dear Edward Season 1, Episodes 1–3 ... So far, it’s the feel-good show that I need. Apart from everybody dying in the first episode, that is.

That’s it from this end. Hope things are good in your neck of the woods!
