25th May, 2018.
Yes: I had a day off, yesterday.
And frankly?
It’s one I spent in Brentwood Theatre, would you believe? Watching my kid sister, Ruth — Jude’s Mum, in other words — in the chorus of the Brentwood Operatic Society’s production of Spamalot, would you believe?
Rather entertaining, that.
And also positive proof that at least one member of the family knows how to overact with a fish* … !

Just as a complete sidestep, here?
Have you been watching Humans, on Channel Four?
It’s a fascinating little series, now on it’s third season: and one I record religiously, to watch back later.
My only complaint?
Is literally that I have to record it.
Rather than watch it on my Apple TV.
In theory? If I had an iPad, I could download the Channel Four Catchup app, and stream the show over to the Apple TV.
Problem solved.
Except I don’t actually have an iPad.
If the show were on the BBC, ITV or Channel Five, it wouldn’t be an issue: they all have catchup apps for the Apple TV.
A lot of the main UK TV services do.
Except Channel Four.
It’s frustrating, annoying, deeply disappointing …
And, these days?
Something that puts me off watching Channel Four’s output.
