22nd December, 2022.
Right … it’s officially Thursday: and frankly?
The day before day day.
Tomorrow is going to be frantic: paying bills, shopping, and bits and bobs!
In contrast to today … where I’m going to making videos … and having a phone appointment with a physio therapist.
Heigh ho!

You’re probably aware I’m on a pay-as-you-go meter for my gas and electricity, aren’t you?
I’m on a pay-as-you-go meter for my gas and electricity: so you know.
And?
The voucher I — and many others — receive, that help with the costs was late, this month.
As far as I can tell? The mix of the cold snap, and postal strikes, delayed things.
Confirmation of that? Came through, this morning: with this piece on the BBC’s news site.
Frankly?
I wasn’t surprised.
And suspect that many in my shoes will thinking the same sort of things I am.
The sooner both sides in these disputes make a deal, the better.

Do you have a Netflix subscription?
You may or may not.
You may or may not know that some people are happy to share their login details with friends and family: effectively letting others share their subscription.
Person A has a subscription: which they share with person B.
Netflix don’t like it: but seem to be doing little about it.
In a move that may help?
The UK’s government has recently announced that password aharing in cases like this, is possibly illegal.
Presumably? On the basis that Person A is paying for licensed content: but Person B isn’t.
Personally?
I can’t help but put this sort of password sharing on a moral par with loaning a friend a book, or a DVD*.
Nothing to worry about.
Especially as Netflix themselves seem — in a five year old Tweet — to endorse it.
Love is sharing a password.

I’m also very aware that a ‘moral’ right … is not the same as a ‘legal’ right.
And that loaning a physical object is not the same as password sharing.
Frankly?
I think this is something to keep an eye on.
