The day that’s officially in the middle of the week!
But you knew that!
At any rate … ?
I’m expecting it to be quiet: apart from my my nephew pops over.
We can possibly expect more vides of Mikey the Rabbit.

I have to admit, I’m a bit of an Apple fan.
And was very aware of their product event, yesterday.
What caught my attention … ?
Was the new range of iPad Pros: complete with fancy fancy displays, some new software — Final Camera would let users co-ordinate four iOS camera in a multi camera set up — and various other bits and bobs.
It’s officially official: it’s both Tuesday … and payday …
Hopefully … ?
I’ll have enough cash for a haircut.
But … ?
Am very aware I council tax payments start this month: so may have to wait until next month, when my benefit payments increase.
That’s frustrating: I’m getting shaggy!

One possible source of help?
Is that I may — may — be due some money.
I said — in yesterday’s post — that my landlord had been forced to compensate a tenant in Hertfordshire, after setting service charges at too high a rate.
Mine were £194 a month for last tax year: and £21 a month for this.
So … ?
I gave Clarion, my landlords, a call to highlight this.
And got told they’re ‘putting the process in motion’ for me.
I think I won’t get a thing: or that this year’s charges will go up.
But … ?
At least I’ve raised the issue.

Additionally?
I’ve due to have a hearing about my application for PIP, for Personal Independence Payments.
I’ve asked the relevant office when that hearing will be.
And been told — yesterday — that my case is “Ready To List”: and that, once a hearing’s been booked, I’ll be told by post.
Well, not a lot … bar that fact it’s going to be a quiet day.
I do know I’ve spotted something in the news.
Apparently, a woman in Hertfordshire is a tenant of my landlords: and received a small amount of compensation … after being overcharged on her services charges.
The figures she gave for hers?
Were similar to mine.
I was paying £44 a week, last year.
And now paying a fiver.
Hmmm …
I don’t think I’d get anything from Clarion, on that front.
Not even so much as information on how to apply.
But … ?
I may as well send them an email: to see what happens.
Not until — on Thursday — he stood outside the New York court where Donald Trump is being tried, threw lots of pamphlets around, covered himself in something flammable …
And then lit a match.
Apparently, in protest at both President Biden and former President Trump: and at US government attempts to launch “ …an apocalyptic fascist world coup”.
I can’t help the think the man was a bloody idiot!
Or was … unwell … !
Or, at least, extremely misguided.
I sound harsh, I know.
Justifiable, I think.
Setting fire to yourself — especially over something as trivial as a conspiracy theory* — is an unbelievably stupid thing to do.
