16th October, 2019.
It’s officially official: I’v had good news.
On one front … ?
I’ve been approved for monetisation on YouTube.
In other words, I’ve been my Youtube Partner Programme membership’s been approved: and — once my ad revenue hits £60 — I can start earning cash.
Here’s hoping.

In other good news?
I had a CT scan on my lungs this year: in July, if I’m remembering things correctly.
As an earlier one had revealed nodules: the doctor would be concerned: if these had grown in size or number.
I get the results letter, yesterday.
The nodules … haven’t grown.
I am extremely relieved.
As, for the moment, it means I’m free of what could have been lung cancer.
I’m relieved, understandably.
And frankly?
Thanking whatever higher powers are reading this!

Just as one last thing, before I move on to the Teaser?
I don’t know if you were following the Queen’s Speech, recently … ?
I had half an eye on it, I should add.
One policy that caught the attention of many? Was the Government plans for photographic ID to be required, when we vote.
That’s still not something I could support.
Mostly?
Because, every time the idea is mentioned, the usual forms of ID are mentioned.
A passport or drivers license.
These things cost.
And are — if you’re unemployed, like me — completely unaffordable: the £75 to £85 for an adult UK passport pays for my gas and electricity, to give you and example.
The £43 for a new, provisional drivers license? Half my shopping for the month.
It’s £20 for a replacement provisional license: something I was only able to purchase with help from the Job Centre.
I needed it to provide photographic ID for a job interview.
Help I suspect the Job Centre wouldn’t give me, or others … if I needed photographic ID to vote.
I know the idea is to help reduce voting fraud …
But?
The impression I’ve always picked up — over the years — is that a lot of voting fraud centres around postal fraud. I don’t see photographic ID being helpful, there.
Given all that?
I can’t support this.
But can, at least, sign the petition about it.
