3rd July, 2019.
Yep: it’s a Wednesday.
The day after I’ve had to take a TV back to Sainsbury’s: as I couldn’t get the base fixed on!
I’ve had a replacement, I should add.
But … ?
With that amount of money on the table, you’d expect these things to be easy to put together … !
~≈¥≈~
Oh … just so you know, Yorrick — the wooden skull I’m waving about — is something I’ve inherited rom my late Aunty Bella: and something I can remember her having for years.
Perched on top of her curtain rails, would you believe?
It’s creepy, I know … but it was her’s, and something I can remember her by.
Oh, and freak out the neighbours with …
~≈¥≈~
And to cap it all off — possibly the wrong choice of phrase, there — I’m off to the dentist, this afternoon.
Nervous?
Nope.
It’s just a hygienist’s trip.
More of a frustration.
I hate sitting still for that length of time!
~≈¥≈~

* I might just have a look at Dark, Anne: it looks interesting. Completely the other end of the scale from El Ministerio del Tiempo. Oh, there’s a series three planned, too. I’ve read about Years and Years, by the way. It vaguely reminded me of some bits of Torchwood: Children of Earth.
† It does help, doesn’t it, Olga? I feel a lot better for having it! I keep seeing Grammerly adverts going past … and thinking, no, Olga, Trevor, Debbi and Anne will spot them … ! :D At any rate, thanks for mentioning it: I totally missed them, and corrected them as quickly as I could!
‡ If the guy’s worth his salt, Debbi? One of the questions will be a clue! Oh, I’ve got The Cooler on order …

ReplyDeleteYears, Years I can see where you come from, it easy to identify this was Russel T Davis work, by the style, however, I like his style. Moffat, you can see the same pattern with his work, that's my perspective.
Q1) 1890
ReplyDeleteQ2) Boise
Q3) Nevada
Q4) Potatoes
Q5) Baseball
Well, it's part of the fun, spotting the typos, I mean. I try to use Grammarly especially when teaching at the UoPeople, because we have to use US spelling, so I have it set to that, to avoid getting students (and myself) confused).
Sorry about the TV, although I hope it's all well now. Usually they are supposed to include everything, but even when they include the tools to put it together, my experience is that most of the time they don't do the job and you need to have a big supply...
Awesome. You're gonna love it. I hope. :)
