Personalised Calendar is REALLY interesting, and I love how you can swipe back a few weeks. Also allows you to view in more detail with filtering. I don't love that it looks like a planner but maybe that will grow on me. Feels very organised at least!

Alas, I have been relegated back to the mainland but I had a blast down at Level Up Tasmania! ✨ Everyone was really welcoming, and it was so awesome to attend a games event in another state. The games were rad, and Hobart was quite the picture surrounded by mountains. I'll def be heading back!
