+
+**Very** cool month, finally managed to have some hard earned holidays! I had the privilege of
+going with some friends (even some I hadn't seen in a long time!) to an apartment near the beach,
+and oh boy did I need that. I came back fully charged! Apart from that, not much movement in any
+area.

+## Projects
+
+I have _refactored_ my local network a bit, bought a proper router with integrated firewall and monitoring,
+and a new AP to get along with that. Next step will be re-creating my entire home-assistant instance from
+scratch on a new raspberry pi. With that I will start a blog post series on every step I'm going to take,
+sort of a tutorial sort of informative. You can do very cool things with it.
+
+Not much time for anything else.
+
+## Books
+
+- [**The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51901147-the-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes).
+
+  I read only a little more, either the good is not as impacting as the first one (it isn't) or
+  I'm completely gone with my reading habits again. I though I would enjoy this on my vacation time, but
+  I didn't end up hooked. I will probably drop this one, sadly.
+
+## Games
+
+- [**Super Mario 3D All-Stars**](https://www.nintendo.es/Juegos/Nintendo-Switch/Super-Mario-3D-All-Stars-1832369.html):
+  Tried starting with Mario 64 first, but the camera and controls were so frustrating I ended up skipping it
+  and going directly to Sunshine. I've collected a few stars but I haven't sit down properly to get with it,
+  only playing on spare time between other things.
+
+- [**Among Us**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/945360/Among_Us/): The new cool kid on the block, very
+  funny to play with friend over discord; guaranteed fun.
+
+## Articles
+
+I ended up doing a [Telegram channel](https://t.me/fmartingr_articles) to paste interesting articles/videos as I see fit, this way I don't forget
+taking notes that much. Now I only need to remember this channel exists...
