Plus, as a further sign of the day improving, that “not-quite-amazing-zon” delivery of my pre-order finally showed up a week after it could have… 🙂

Power outage at about nine pm last night due to the storm, I assume.

Still not fixed.

For some reason I don’t understand, Bluesky will work on my rapidly fading phone in a way that other platforms don’t…

Ah, but it’s knocked out the wi-fi, (I’m not a downloader as it’s too old and memory poor) and my computer is a desktop attached to the mains…

Nightmare 😂

Instead I’m reading that copy of WHY CAN’T I JUST ENJOY THINGS? by Pierre Novellie that I promised to read ages ago… 🤔

…of course all I wanted to do today, given that My Beloved is attending an all day conference, was to settle down with a nice TV box set, but the lack of electrickery has put the kibosh on that 😱

I got out the candles, but had already used the last of the matches to light the gas ring to boil a pan to make a cuppa 😂

“Welcome to the White House… Give me a moment to get my wig on…”

It’s an entertaining update that I watched on first transmission and fail to go back to often enough despite having the DVDs. Always other things to watch, I guess.

One of my guests recently said The Professionals is basically the same show, but with everything that was charming about it removed 😂

Genuinely think that if it had popped up in primetime (a little like Ghostwatch back in the day) this might have become similarly legendary… 😉

I wonder if Not-that-Amazing-zon simply don’t order enough stock to fulfil their pre-orders on the grounds that quite a lot get cancelled? Odd that something pre-ordered in March can’t be supplied on its November release date when orders promising delivery tomorrow are still being taken.

I fear that you may be correct 😕

Not just me then. I suppose that’s a comfort of some sort 🤔

You’re absolutely correct 😀

“I got a little toasted, but I’m okay.”

Anyway… let’s just say it’s probably a good thing that other authors were brought in for the later ones… 😂
