Job hunting, continues, razzle frazzle.
1. The Librarians, also quite good

malinaldarose has been extolling the virtues of The Librarians for some time. I couldn't find it on any streaming site I have access to, but Netflix pointed me at The Order, which I've been meaning to look in for some time. Having seen a few episodes, I can't recommend it. So I took to the High Seas instead, and found me some pirate treasure. It turns out The Librarians is excellent. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's not comedy per se (I don't usually get comedy, or rather, I get bored of it if it doesn't have something else). It has magic, the odd explosion, interesting interpersonal relationships, decent internal plots and consistency, and is generally worth your while.
2. Online grocery shopping is no fun
I quite like grocery shopping in normal times, and even in the plague era, I don't hate it. But it's much more sensible to get groceries delivered when we're in a Level 5 Lockdown, so that's what we do. Putting together an online order is terribly dull compared to actual shopping, though. You don't get to see what the goods are like before you put them in the trolley, and you don't see the range of stuff that's there, so it can't inform the next week's food plan. It's necessary, but I'm looking forward greatly to actual shopping again, ideally after the plague, so without masks, etc.
3. D&D Beyond is excellent
I've been using D&D Beyond to run my in-house D&D campaign (links to setting material in a previous post) and it is da bomb. I can run up an NPC of any level I need in about 5 minutes, and it's downright addictive doing so. I can see the players' character sheets any time I want, and I've access to a vast array of monsters, subclasses, spells, etc, made by other people using the service. It makes my game prep far easier, and has the important aspect of adding fun. Plus there are excellent articles on the site about running and playing games, specific to the 5E ruleset, and since I haven't been swimming in the D&D streams the same way I did when 3E and 3.5 came out, that's immensely useful. I'm very pleased with it.
