Hey there,

The weather was not good lately so I spend all my week-end binge watching YouTube and Netflix.

I started the new season of Black Mirror (thanks Marco to let me know) and I would admit that the first episode is pretty good. If you are a gamer, you should like it.

I also discover a nice French manga called "The Lastman" with a crazy story like you only find in manga.

That's all for Netflix.

On YouTube, I've been completely fascinating by guys building primitive things with natural materials they find in nature. Check this out by tipping "Primitive skills" and "Primitive technology" in your YouTube search bar.

Enjoy watching videos and don't forget to leave your screen time to time to get outside ;-)
