19th March, 2023.
Yep: I was up late (ish) last night.
Writing a review — and making the video equivalent — of ‘Imposters’, the most recent episode of Star Trek Picard.
This morning … ?
I feel shattered!
More shattered than I’ve felt for some time.
Quite why … ?
I have no idea: but have a funny idea it’s something to do with the increased dosage of Semaglutide I’m on.
I’ll have to check with my GP, the next time I speak with her.
Let’s move on, shall we?

And a song …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Decisions about scores are final.
Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* I’m just trying to work out if it or the co-codemol is making me tired, Olga: it (metaphorically) hit me like a ton of bricks! I feel exhausted, this morning!
I’ve had a quick skim through the paperwork. According to page 45, the bit about the mandatory reconsideration I had? The person who did that says the ‘… client is right handed.’ I don’t know if I can mention that at the Tribunal … but I’m planning to …

It is definitely worth mentioning that they got that wrong (I mean saying that you are right-handed). Well, codeine is an opiate, and although it is very mild compared to others, I guess the effects might vary from person to person, especially when you are taking other medication as well. It is difficult to work out the interactions of the different medications, that is for sure. I hope your doctor can help you work it out, and, in any case, I am sure you won't be taking Co-codamol long-term, so that should help clarify matters.
You're right. I worded that ambiguously. Also, I meant to say "And Aeon Flux. Which I loved." I just loved Aeon Flux, which I think was on MTV? Yes, it was part of Liquid TV, you may recall.

The movie may have bombed, but I enjoyed it. It was fun and a bit creepy. :)
It also had Jonny Lee Miller in it. I thought he was great as Eli Stone. One of the few lawyer shows I can stomach. :)
