9th July, 2025.
Right … I had free time, yesterday: as the workmen I was expecting couldn’t make it.
In exchange? And as a result of the phone appointment I had with a locus GP at my surgery?
I had to head into town to chat to my doctor in person.
As a result?
I had to wee into a pot: so the doctor could check my urine,
Apparently, that’s OK.
I am also going to have to poo in a pot: so I can post off a stool sample.
The older I get … ?
The more life turns yummy!

Did I mention I’ve been watching various episodes of Max Headroom?
The US series, rather than the original British show.
The thing can be surprising.
A few nights ago, I saw Robert O’Reilly — who Star Trek fans will remember as Gowron, the Klingon Chancellor — turn up in the first season, as a media savvy terrorist.
It was the eyeball thing he does: it’s very distinctive … !
But he wasn’t the last Star Trek alumni to crop up in Max Headroom.
Rosalind Chao — Keiko O’Brian — turned up in last night’s episode: playing a junior journalist.
You know, actor spotting could be a new game!

On a related note … ?
That particular episode, Deities, was very good: and saw Edison Carter and the team investigating a dubious church: one that’s offering a dubious form of resurrection in return for a lot of money.
And manage to kidnap Max, in an effort to steal the technology that powers him.
Or, at least, turn him into a televangelist!
It’s well worth a watch.
For no other reason than this: the earlier scenes, the ones with Rosalind Chao, manage to convincingly present Edison and the team as a group of journalists, discussing the stories they’re going to chase.
That’s quite something!
