Old enough to know better. Stupid enough to care about it. Daft enough to keep on doing it anyway. Creates VISION ON SOUND for FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL, and draws a bit 😀
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… 🤔

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 😕
November 11, 2025 at 8:59 AM

You’re absolutely correct 😀

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