Frankly?

Frankly, I have my usual meeting at the job centre.

I’m … 

Well, I don’t know what I’m expecting, there.

We’ll have to see — post course — what else they can offer.

~≈†≈~

Just as a thought?

I caught Spyfall part 1, the opening episode of Dr Who’s twelfth season, last night.

That?

Was fantastic!

Just don’t watch my review, if you want to avoid spoilers!

And a song …

*        It would be seriously worth the wait, Olga.   It’s not perfect … but it is worth both the watch, and the wait.   As was last night’s Dr Who!   I didn’t see that one coming!

†        Like I say, Debbi, it’s worth the watch!   Funny old thing, a lot of the Star Wars franchise takes its cues from Dune.   Oscar Isaacs, Poe Dameron?   Is playing Duke Leto in the upcoming Dune movie.   Now … have you seen Spyfall part 1?   My LORD, but they know how to do a cliffhanger!   (Don’t read my review until you do!   Spoilers!)
