26th November, 2020.
It’s got to be said, you have to ask what’s going on, occasionally …
Especially in a world where the deep deserts of Utah start sprouting monoliths.
How weird are those?
Possibly not weird enough: when you realise whoever’s installed it … isn’t a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
It’s the the wrong shape to be the monolith.

Something else I’ve managed to pick up … ?
Is a little bit of news about the upcoming Dr Who special, Revolution of The Daleks.
Guess who’s back … ?
Ahem!

Just as a last point … ?
Yesterday saw Chancellor Rishi Sunak made various announcements in a major spending review.
One of those … ?
Is what he called the Restart scheme.
It’s aimed at those of us who’ve been out of work for more than a year, back into work.
Frankly? It sounds too much like the Work Programme I had to do, many years ago: one that was distinctly unhelpful.
I expect this — if I end up having to sign up for it — to be just as helpful.
The announcement he didn’t make?
Was about Universal Credit: the benefit those of us in the UK claim, if we’re out of work.
It’s been put up by roughly £20 per week, as a result of COVID-19.
And is due to end in April.
Mr Sunak didn’t say whether it would be removed, or made permanent.
Merely that an announcement would be made, nearer the time.
I hope it stays at its current level.
The extra few quid are bloody handy!
