Bugger …
And know, I’m not talking about the intro, there.
I’ve just tried turning the knob on my tumble dryer: just to finish off some t-shirts.
Only for the damn thing to come off in my hands.
It’s OK, I’ve got a pair of pliers.
But, ye gods, that has to happen when I’ve no money to pay someone to repair the thing!
~≈§≈~
At any rate … ?
It’s a Thursday …
And a quiet Thursday at that.
I don’t know about you, but I’m grateful I’ve something I can do for not a lot of money.
You’re right … it’s watching TV.
And, in my case?
You have to love time travel that does horror …

It’s 21st Century Madrid: and Episode 10 — Separadas en el tiempo/Separated by time — opens by showing Irene (Cayetana Guillén Cuervo) strolling around a local museum: whilst a group of school children are also shown around.
Only for the teacher, Julia (Alexandra Jiménez) to pass out … when one of her pupils spots her teacher … in a photo dated to 1930.
It get’s stranger …
Amelia is at the Folch family home — some where in the late 19th Century — when she’s visited by Enriqueta, the disgraced family maid.
Enriqueta has an issue …
She’s discovered the doors of time, by following Amelia, back to the Ministry.
She’s discovered her older self is in Barcelona, circa 1912.
Enriqueta has discovered her future self …
And that the bones are there … for a reason …

Now … horror … ?
I’ve been saying this for a while, now: that El Ministerio del Tiempo is strong, powerful and entertaining.
It’s certainly keeping abreast of Star Trek Discovery: and quite possibly outdoing American Horror Story.
I may change my mind when I see the latest series, but right now … ?
I’d say this.
That American Horror Story shows us a certain amount of supernatural horror.
A certain amount of over-the-top fake horror: although there are times Kathy Bates, Oscar winner that she is, goes full throttle and out acts everyone one.
But still …
AHS reminds us, every-so-often, that it’s full of myth
This episode, Separadas en el tiempo/Separated by time?
Reminds us of one thing …
That the real monsters are human.
Can I make the same suggestion I’ve been making for a while?
Watch El Ministerio del Tiempo.
Last night’s episode was a heist …
Tonight’s … ?
A horror …
And just as riveting …

I love it when people comment. 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 adult. 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.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
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.
