Watchmen — Series 1 Episode 7 — An Almost Religious Awe — A Review

3rd November, 2020.

Hmmm … 

I have to admit, it’s a Tuesday evening.

You’ve possibly worked that out, looking at the date at the start of this entry.

Frankly?

It’s an evening on the day I’ve rearranged an appointment, and — currently — trying to register for the NHS eConsult service: so I can try and talk to my GP.

That’s … 

Well, that could be a lot simpler, let’s put it that way.

It wants my provisional driving license, a photo, wants to scan my face, what’s my NHS number — if possible — and possibly wants to sing to me.

Don’t even mention the SatNav!

At any rate … ?

It’s a Tuesday: so, given I have time?   I’m making a start of a review: of the next episode of Watchmen, series one.

I’ll finish it, tomorrow.

4th November, 2020.

It’s another day, and another dollar.

Which seems appropriate: as, whilst I write, the BBC’s news channel is covering the US Presidential election.

Right now, Joe Biden has 227 of the required 270 electoral college votes: versus Trump’s 213.

Quite what will happen, I don’t know.

I hope Joe Biden wins: President Trump seems to be the least presidential President I can remember seeing.

But, at this rate … ?

We’ll probably only know for sure, by the end of the week!

~≈😶≈~

As a last thought … ?

If you haven’t read today’s Teaser?

I’m making goulash, tonight: after having to go back into town, today … to get peppers.

Which, if nothing else, means I have some more Nectar points on my loyalty card.

Hay ho!

At any rate, let’s move on, shall we?

4th November, 2020.

Argh!

I was going to make Goulash, tonight.

Goulash!

Enough of it to last two or three days.

Guess what, though?

I forgot to get peppers!

Argh!

~≈🙁≈~

I have to also confess, I’m not one for conspiracy theorists.

They’s usually got a blatant flaw in their logic, somewhere, that even I can spot.

David Icke?   Is one of the most annoying, over the past few years: claiming, repeatedly, that we’re being controlled by a race of lizard people called Archons.

I’m half convinced he’s taken the original V series a bit too seriously.

At ANY rate … ?

The man’s now been officially banned from Twitter: for Covid misinformation.

Thanks heavens for that!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd November, 2020

3rd November, 2020.

Yes: it’s officially the case.

I’m going to filling in an online form.

I’ve been trying to apply for a European Computer Driving License course: for some time.

I just needing a computer running Windows to do the course.

Given I’m a rabid Mac fan?   You can imagine how I feel about that.

Needs must, those.

Today, I’ve got a meeting with my landlord’s Digital Futures team: to apply for the loan of a laptop.

Here’s hoping it goes well.

~≈Ü≈~

If nothing else?

I know roughly what I’ll be doing this evening.

I’ll be watching TV.

Frankly?

Those reviews of Watchmen don’t write themselves!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-11-2020: Sleeping Satellites

2nd November, 2020.

Right … 

I’ve got a meeting, today: by phone.

With my case worker from the Shaw Trust, the people who run the Work and Health programme I’m on.

Which is all good.

Quite what will happen with them, under the upcoming lockdown?

I don’t know.

~≈†≈~

Which sort of brings me to another point.

As you may or may not know, England is to enter a second Lockdown on Thursday.

One aspect?   Is that non-essential retail premises are to close.

Does that include libraries?

I don’t know.

I’m assuming it will, though.

That’s going to be tough on those of us who rely on them for ’Net access.

As I’ve said, so many times before: those of us who can’t afford an at home connection rely on the library to get online.

To access services, to job hunt, to pay rent.

If we can’t access the library, where do we go?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st November, 2020.

1st November, 2020.

Right … it’s official.

England, as a nation, and region of The UK?

Is now in lockdown: again.

With slightly less strict rules than the original lockdown in March.

Speaking personally?

I know it’s for the public good.

I know that.

But?   Frankly, it’s very frustrating to not get about as one does under normal circumstances.

For starters?   Getting a haircut’s going to be out of the question: as hairdressers and barbers cannot open*.

Getting out and about … ?

Meeting friends … ?

It’s … 

Well … 

Frustrating … 

~≈🙁≈~

By now?

You’ll possibly have realised that Sean Connery — the original James Bond — died yesterday: at th age of ninety.

That’s sad to hear.

There’s always going to be arguments about who the best James Bond actor was.

But … ?

He was the first to play the part: at least more than once.

That’s going to be hard to ignore.
