You know, I have to confess to feeling under The weather, at the moment.
No, really.
I’ve come down with a cold.
And, to talk to … ?
You’d quite probably be sitting there thinking, “God, but Paul sounds rough!”
At least, rougher than usual!
It meant that last night, instead of what I’d been planning to do — watch the last two episodes of Series 2 of House of Cards — I got a SERIOUSLY early night.
I headed to bed about 8: stressed out after waiting around for a four terabyte hard-drive: and feeling distinctly unwell, to boot.
Tonight, though … ?
Tonight, I’m feeling a touch better.
Well …
I’ve had more sleep. AND … ? Well, frankly, I’ve had enough Lemsip and nasal decongestant to worry a rhino.
But at least leave me able to watch these last two episode: AND tell you about it …
~≈†≈~
Episode 12 sees President Walker accusing Frank of trying to engineer his downfall: and cuts off contact with his vice president. In the meantime … ? Prosecutor Dunbar and Secretary of State Durant are convinced — by Frank — to offer asylum to Xander Feng: in return for details on the money laundering scheme run by Raymond Tusk. Ray Tusk, of course, is subpoenaed to appear before Dunbar: and pleads the fifth, confident he’s going to be pardoned. Whilst THIS is going on … ? Frank And Claire convince Jacqueline, Frank’s replacement as whip, that impeaching President Walker is the only way to avoid Democratic loses at the midterm elections. AND get herself a plum job, if Frank is named as President Walker’s replacement.
Episode 13, the last of the series, sees President Walker offering Raymond Tusk a pardon: IF Ray Tusk implicating Frank in the money laundering scheme. He … ? Seemingly accepts. Only to have Garrett Walker withdraw the offer, once he and Frank have reconciled. The arc of the episode … ? Sees Ray Tusk being called before a Congress … and deciding to implicate the President in the money-laundering scheme, forcing Walker to resign his offer, and hand Frank the White House.

Now …
Good … ?
Oh yes … !
Now, I’ll happily admit to having been heavily distracted watching the bulk of series 2 in The run up to Christmas.
But?
That doesn’t mean I’ve not been engrossed: just somewhat distracted.
Series two of House of Cards has left me thinking I’ll invest in Series three.
I want to see what Frank and Claire do next …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
