I
slept like a log last night and woke feeling refreshed and raring to go. I
looked at the clock to see it was only half past midnight. I then saw every
hour of the rest of the night and finally got up (feeling like death warmed up) at 6am.
Over
brekkie I watched the most recent episode of “The Last Ship”. The first couple of seasons of this show were
rather good, the third was OK… this fourth season is rather two-dimensional and
rather poorly thought out. It is far more of a wartime propaganda film than
entertaining viewing. I suspect it probably works better if you are American as
it portrays all Americans as super-good heroes and everyone else as
untrustworthy scumbag villains.
I’m
rather tempted to give up with the show now I’ve got a ton of stuff I could
watch on Netflilx.
I
tried not to disturb "er indoors TM" as I left for
work. She was having a day off work today to fix the leaking toilet. I wouldn’t
have a clue what to do and she’s fixed it before.
It
was cold as I set off to work this morning. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had made the news on the radio. He had
been banging on about how wonderful unfettered capitalism was. I wonder how
much comfort that had given to those who’ve lost their livelihood following
yesterday’s collapse of Monarch airline. Similarly talking out of his arse was
one of the officials of America’s National Rifle Association. With gun crime in
the USA being worse than pretty much all of the rest of the world put together,
the NRA were trying to claim that the mass shooting that happened yesterday was
nothing to do with the ready availability
of guns.
Once
in the works car park I phoned the bank. Last week I sent them a formal
complaint about the timing of my statements and how they didn’t honour my
credit card. I came home yesterday to find they thought I was complaining about
a “Verified by Visa” password.
I
finally got through to someone who agreed that the letter I’d received in no
way answered the complaint I’d made, and I was assured that my concerns would
be dealt with. Hopefully this time by someone who speaks English.
I
had a busy day at work, and came home to find the chod-bin wasn’t quite as
fixed as it might have been. Mind you I wasn’t going to complain. Whilst "er
indoors TM" boiled up dinner I spent a little while chatting
to various people on Facebook messenger.
Dinner
was rather good; as we scoffed it we watched the third episode of “Star Trek: Discovery”. On the one hand
there are several links to what has gone before (Star Trek; Enterprise). On the other hand there seems to be no
understanding of what hasn’t yet happened in the timeline (Star Trek: Everything Else).
Mind
you it’s not a bad show… even if NCC 1031 is the ugliest starship I’ve ever
seen…
