Yes: it’s true.
For the first time in a couple of weeks, I’ve actually had a functioning interview.
For a job at a local betting shop.
The interview part seemed to go well: although I did have to mention that I’d need to to have to arrange my shifts, around various hospital visits.
Which didn’t seem totally unacceptable.
At least, from the sneaky look I got of the form the interview was filling … ?
The ‘Pros’ list seemed longer that the ‘Cons’ one: let’s put it like that.
Either way?
I’ll hear by Monday.
Hopefully?
I’ll get something positive out of a years that’s — thus far — been nasty.

One thing that HAS been good … ?
Is the amount of really good TV I’ve found, this year.
Time off … ?
Can do that to a body, I think.

And, yes: good seems to be the thing.

Episode 1.4 opens in 2027: eight years from today.
And sees the coalition government collapsing: with Viv Rook (Emma Thompson) set to be a major player in the upcoming election.
Whilst an angry Celeste (T’Nia Miller) confronts Stephen (Rory Kinnear) about his affair … ?
Edith (Jessica Hynes) has a very discreet word with Rosie’s (Ruth Madeley’s) new lover, Jonjo (George Bukhari): just to make sure he seriously behaves himself.
Meanwhile?
Meanwhile Daniel (Russell Tovey) is attempting to get Viktor (Maxim Baldry) out of an increasingly violent Spain.
Attempts that see Viktor locked in a coach’s luggage section …
Attempts that see the pair defrauded out of serious money …
Attempts that see the pair defrauded out of serious money …
Attempts that see the pair forced into an over crowded dinghy, in order to attempt the crossing …
A crossing only Viktor survives …
Things … ?
Can only get better …
Can’t they … ?

Now …
On a personal front, today’s been a good day: one I feel may have a positive outcome, come Monday.

Yes, I have worries about my health.
But?
But, those are worries I can’t deal with, today.
At least, take action about.
Today?
Today’s I’ve seen an episode of a TV show that’s not scared of showing us ugly situations, and the way the central characters deal with them.
AND the pain they suffer as a result.
Frankly?
The last time I saw TV as watchable as this specific episode, it was Children of Earth.

Long may Russell T Davies reign.

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.
