Valhalla Streaming

Working through this ridiculous Viking project

Trying some new recipes from the Eat Like a Viking! Cookbook. I’m now out of bread. The plan is to not buy more until I’ve finished watching all of this Netflix Viking-themed content. I’ve hammered through Season 1 of Vinland Saga, about Viking adventurers. Japanese animation following a young lad trying to avenge the murder of his father while different factions are vying for power around him. Very confusing, backtracks a lot, but interesting. Tried Norsemen. Cringe, unfunny ‘comedy.’ Now in season 1 of Vikings Valhalla about Leif Erikson. Much better. 

Watched Usyk v Dubois 2 in Brotherhood near the Town Hall. Nice bar. Friendly. Predictable result. I guessed a 10th round knockout with Usyk keeping his belts. It was the 5th. Ran a meetup with Manchester Nightlife. Got a handful of new and familiar faces. Good night.  

Michael Madsen – actor from Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill and The Getaway – died on the 3rd. I loved his movies. I almost met him in Blackpool in 2015. Just wasn’t organised. I rewatched Reservoir Dogs in his honour. Such a movie.
