11th January, 2025.
It’s officially official: it’s Saturday.
And the day after I caught the penultimate episode of Silo, series two.
It’s a fascinating watch.
But there is a downside.
Some scenes are filmed in badly lit areas of the setting: and it doesn’t look especially good.
Hopefully, that’s something that can be remedied …

It’s not that often my home town gets mentioned on the news.
But my home town — or, at least, its local council — got mentioned by the BBC’s new website, yesterday.
It seems the local government ombudsman has accursed Brentwood Council of gatekeeping, of doing everything it can to not help homeless people in the area.
And of doing so, despite the two hundred or so relevant applications meeting the relevant thresholds.
I’m tempted to tell you several things.
That the council’s guilty as charged.
And that — as I mentioned in several posts, yesterday — was doing this because it:
- Hadn’t invested in social housing, or …
- Didn’t want the wrong sort of residents in town.
I’m tempted to say #BrentwoodCouncil’s doing this because they haven’t built enough #CouncilHousing. Or because the homeless aren’t #MiddleClass enough … Either way, I’m not surprised by this … www.inyourarea.co.uk/post/news/67...— @MrCuddy2977 (@mrcuddy2977.bsky.social) 10 January 2025 at 11:37
I’m not, though.
Instead, I’m going to say one thing.
I’m not surprised by the news …
