The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 10: Episode 10 Fire from the Gods — A Review

14th December, 2019.


Yes: it’s officially Saturday night.

With little in the way of cash.

Which, unfortunately?   Is the perils of unemployment.

You have plenty of time to do whatever you want … 

But no actual cash to do it with.

Frankly?

That means a cheap night in, watching TV.

Yes: you’re right: I watched the last episode of The Man in the High Castle.

Hmmm …

The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 9: Episode 9 For Want of a Nail — A Review

8th December, 2019.


Yes: it’s officially official: I am back at the course, tomorrow.

I’m job hunting, at the moment: and, if you’ve been following me for a while?

You’ll know I’m on a short course designed to improve my employment prospects.

I’m back there, tomorrow: and looking forward to it: as it gets me out of the house.

The real killer?

We have laptops … and our tutor’s decided to get mice for them.

Little things mean a lot.

~≈Î≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s the Sunday night before I go back.

And frankly?

I want to go to bed early … but want to tell you about a TV show.

Yep: you’re right … I’ve seen the ninth episode of The Man in the High Castle’s fourth season.

The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 8: Hitler Has Only Got One Ball — A Review

7th December, 2019.


Yep: it’s Saturday evening!

And, if you read today’s Daily Teaser?

You’ll realise I had a few things planned.

Which I managed to get done.

Including sending the first batch of this year’s Christmas cards.

What it didn’t include … ?   Was the old fashioned green double decker that I managed to get on, to get to town.



A double decker bus complete with a driver, and a conductor: with one of those old fashioned ticket machines.

With the buttons and the handle?   Lord knows what they’re called … !

Either way?

It was nice to see.

~≈¥≈~

Either way … ?

Either way, I have to make a confession … ?

With nothing else to do, I made sure I watched a TV show.

Yes: you guessed it … The eighth episode of The Man in the High Castle fourth season …

The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 7: No Masters But Ourselves — A Review

4th December, 2019.

*Spoilers*


Yes: it’s official.

My left shoulder aches!

And I think I know why.

I’m jobhunting at the moment: and doing a course that’s supposed to help us with interview technique, CV writing, what have you.

I’m left handed, so you know … and haven’t done this much handwriting in ages.

Which is what I think’s causing the issue … 

Writing in European scripts isn’t exactly what you call painless, if you’re a southpaw … 

At any rate … ?

It’s a Wednesday: one that, for various reasons, I’ve had off.

And I wanted to watch TV … 

To be more specific?

The next episode of series four of The Man in the High Castle …

The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 6: All Serious Daring — A Review

1st December, 2019.


Right … 

I’ve a confession to make: I’ve finally cleaned my armchair.

It was getting a bit mucky.   To the point of serious comment …

Still … 

The cover’s been put through the wash: and looking better than it was.

But Lord … it took some time to wrestle that cover back on.

I’m grateful I did, though.

It meant I had something to sit on, watching more of The Man in the High Castle, season four …

The Man in the High Castle — Series 4 Episodes 5: Mauvaise Foi* — A Review

30th November, 2019.


I’m assuming — assuming, mind — that you’ve been following the news in the UK.

If you haven’t?

You’re possibly not aware of the attack that took place on London Bridge, yesterday.

A young man — and convicted terrorist — called Usman Khan murdered two people, and injured three others.

His actions?   And motives?   Have been discussed, since yesterday.

And radical Jihadi terrorism has been blamed.

I had the news on, earlier.

According to Khan’s lawyer?   He asked for help being de-radicalised, whilst in prison.

And was refused.

Refused help that could have prevented two people’s deaths.

Granted?   The man got out, and committed two murders whilst wearing the (fake) bomb vest that got him shot.

But … ?

A decision maker in the prison service made the wrong decision: and shares  some of the responsibility for those deaths.

~≈Ü≈~

At any rate?

It’s a quiet Saturday night.

And, with little else to do … ?

I watched TV … 

And, yes: you’re right: it’s another episode from The Man in the High Castle’s fourth season …
