Ye, gods, I am dog-tired.
Seriously dog-tired.
But … ?
There’s a reason for that.
I has to admit to heading to work early for a meeting.
Frankly, I’d rather you didn’t ask: it’s enough to say I had to go.
At ANY rate, that, and working for six hours …
Well, hopefully, I’m sounding coherent.
Although I’m VERY aware I’m going to have to double check on the meaning of the word, ‘debatable.’
~≈®≈~
Debatably, or otherwise?
Debatably, or otherwise, I really wasn’t in the mood for heading out: especially as I’ve spent my extraneous money for the week.
Yes, that’s right: I’ve bought a book. A collected edition of the first four of Ursula K. LeGuin’s Earthsea quartet.
Although, to be frank … ?
I didn’t fancy starting the book. JUST yet. At least, until AFTER I’ve finished Press Play to Start.
AND after I’d caught up with another episode of — you’ve guessed it — House of Cards.
You could tell, couldn’t you … ?
Episode 7 (Chapter 33) takes place in the aftermath of the big row between Frank an Claire: and is told in flashback, roughly a month later.
At the episode’s opening, the pair are quietly renewing their wedding vows in Frank’s home town of Gaffney.
The flashbacks show us the President and First Lady quietly sniping at each other: both in private, and at cabinet meetings: with Claire increasingly angered by Frank’s ignoring her suggestions for getting the Jordan Valley peace accords through the UN.
By contrast? By contrast, all seems well for Doug Stamper: now happily involved — if only temporarily — with his physiotherapist.
Although Stamper is VERY aware his hired hacker — Gavin — has found the woman of his nightmares.
All this … ? All this … and there’s a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks in the White House, building up and destroying a sand-painted Mandala.
Now, this may have been one of the slower episodes.
Especially given the monks.
But, granted, this episode may be a pause.
But I’m thinking this episode is a pause for breath … rather than searching for ideas …

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.
